The Merchant's House Review

No. 16 Queen Street was originally a Victorian merchant's family town home built to Georgian proportions, then a rectory and bank, before Joan Pyne turned it into the city's grandest B&B—garnet-color walls, elaborate plasterwork, and a fireplace make the parlor warm and welcoming to such famed guests as the late Hurd Hatfield. In 2009 the cellars were renovated to include three en suite modern bedrooms. Joan also owns a similar but smaller building three minutes' walk away called the Saddler's House. Charming and cozy, this Victorian jewel of a home (who can resist its picture-gallery red living room?) is packed with interesting antiques and family portraits. Self-catering is also available at delightfully renovated her Georgian town houses in Pump St and London St.
