2 BlackburneTerrace

2 Blackburne Terrace occupies a Grade II listed Georgian townhouse built in 1826, set back from the road on a cobbled drive behind a line of lime trees in the Georgian Quarter. Hosts Glenn and Sarah run the guesthouse themselves, cooking breakfast for guests each morning rather than handing the kitchen to outside caterers. The house keeps its original proportions and detailing, tall sash windows and high ceilings among them, furnished as a townhouse rather than converted into anonymous hotel rooms. Its position on a private, tree-lined drive gives it a quieter setting than the main roads nearby, despite sitting a short walk from the cathedral and Hope Street. The couple manage bookings directly rather than through a chain reservations system, and guests are met and shown around on arrival.
