Handily situated between Woodmarket and Abbey Row, The Old Priory is a Georgian town house of pleasing proportions. The rear entrance in Abbey Row provides private parking and a surprisingly spacious enclosed garden, a perfect space for sitting on a fine summer evening. The Old Parish Church and the abbey grounds being the neighbours. Originally built for Thomas Swann, writer (solicitor) in 1796 it is now the home of Susan and Robin Girdwood and their family; they welcome guests to stay for bed and breakfast and to sample their hospitality. Their aim is to provide comfortable and homely accommodation in a friendly and relaxed household. Most of the beds have memory foam content, as do the pillows; feather pillows are available on request. All of the rooms have DVD, multi channel TV, tea-making facilities and are all en suite.

Both Robin and Susan enjoy cooking and as well as the normal cooked breakfast, you can sample some slightly different dishes. (see menu below).
