Breakfast & Dining

The Welford serves a full English breakfast daily that includes homemade sausages and free-range eggs. Guests can also choose from continental options like fresh fruit, Greek yogurt, and sourdough bread with avocado and poached egg. Richard, a former butcher, prepares the sausages himself, and the menu accommodates dietary needs such as vegan and gluten-free diets.

Each of the individually decorated bedrooms has a private bathroom with hairdryer and toiletries, plus a flat-screen TV and tea/coffee facilities. Room types include double rooms, twin rooms, and a single room, all located in a Victorian terrace on a quiet street. The beds are larger doubles in some rooms, and the property is kept spotlessly clean with daily housekeeping.

The Montpellier Quarter, with its shops and restaurants, is a 10-minute walk away, and the Turkish Baths are also within walking distance. Free parking permits for nearby street parking are provided to guests, making car use optional.

The guesthouse provides free WiFi throughout, a shared lounge/TV area, and a garden for guest use. Pet-friendly stays are accommodated, and check-in is quick with a warm welcome that often includes carrying luggage and offering tea on arrival.

“From what I've gathered, this establishment strikes a fine balance between convenience and tranquility, situated a mere stroll from the town centre and transport links yet remaining pleasantly quiet. The breakfast seems to be a real highlight, praised for its variety and particularly the homemade sausages. It's clear the proprietors, Richard and Judy, infuse the place with genuine warmth and attentiveness, making a stay feel quite personal.”
