Adults-Only Retreat
The Cavendish B&B is an adults-only property set within a historic Victorian building on a quiet street. A stately facade opens onto one acre of landscaped garden, offering a tranquil setting for couples. The hotel provides parking permits for on-street parking at a charge, eliminating the hassle of finding a spot.
Dining
Breakfast is the hotel's standout feature, with a made-to-order menu that includes Full English/Irish, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Fresh fruit platters, Greek yogurt, and a choice of cereals complement the cooked dishes. Guests order breakfast the day before, and the meal is served on hot plates with fresh coffee from a cafetière.
Accommodations
The hotel offers seven room types, including Standard Double Rooms and Deluxe Double Rooms with high ceilings and ornate coving. Each room has a private bathroom with toiletries, and some feature a seating area with a sofa. A fridge on the landing outside each room provides fresh bottled milk daily.
Guest Pantry & Extras
A complimentary guest pantry on the first floor is stocked with crisps, sweets, and bottled water for guests to help themselves. The hotel supplies in-room hospitality trays with tea, coffee, and biscuits, along with the fresh milk from the landing fridge. Biker-friendly amenities include boot trays and secure storage for cycling guests.
