Description:
The hotel is formed from five cleverly linked Georgian houses, originally built in 1776. It has a small courtyard garden to the rear with a fishpond, while large trees dominate the perimeter. There is a small collection of interesting shrubs. It's hard to believe you are in the heart of London. Sip a glass of chilled wine next to the pond, curl up with a paper or enjoy a hot brew.

Just off Bedford Square, this area of London was home to the famous Bloomsbury Set, which included Virginia Woolf and John Maynard Keynes.
