Where to stay
Below is a map with hotels and B&Bs in the area, as well as the Cathedral and Athenaeum. We've tried to be as complete as possible, but there may be some missing: let us know if you know of a good one that's missing. From the long list below, we have experience of (and can recommend) the Chantry Hotel and Best Western; if you have the budget for it, The Angel is certainly worth it, especially considering how close it is.
