Fodor's Expert Review Seven Stars Inn

This early-18th-century coaching inn is cozy and surprisingly affordable. Warm oranges and tartans in the public areas enhance the homey feel, and the rooms—though sparsely furnished—are clean and comfortable. At the restaurant, tuck into such dishes as beef and ale pie, or stuffed chicken breast wrapped in ham. The inn is 2 miles south of the city; Bus 56 from the city center takes 15 minutes and stops outside.
