More and Maps
This hotel was first established in 1550 and has a fascinating history. Shakespeare and company performed plays in the inn yard, Thomas Hardy refers to it in Trumpet Major and Jane Austen danced here at Assembly Balls at two stages in her life (arranged by Florence Nightingale's mother). The hotel was rebuilt in 1775 to accommodate spa visitors and it supposedly has the biggest bow windows in England; Thackeray sat in one of them to write Pendennis. If you stay the night, you might share a room with Lord Nelson. He used to stay at the hotel and his ghost allegedly remains.
