 "This shabby old hotel is in the B&B-heavy area of St Paul's Rd, but the rooms are a real hit-and-miss affair - generally the top ones are quieter and larger, and the bathrooms are in better condition." 
 "The en suite rooms at this classy hotel offer flat-screen TVs, wi-fi access, fresh fruit, hand-baked biscuits, modern bathrooms and luxury toiletries." Full review
 "Although a little far from the centre, the Clifton Hotel offers charming accommodation withinwalking distance of the village and just a short bus ride (or 20-minute walk) from the central parts "
