Fodor's Expert Review The Dudley Boutique Hotel

Restrained and elegant, The Dudley provides a country house for explorations in this spa town. There are six rooms: the queen and king rooms in the main house and the more private spa studios, adjacent to the house, each with its own balcony. Each room has its own style: romantics the heritage kings feature four-poster beds and original two-meter claw-foot bathtubs, reflecting the style that prevailed when the guesthouse opened in 1908, when people traveled to the town specifically to "take the waters." Original artworks and sculptures line the walls and gardens and open fireplaces make it a cosy country retreat, even in winter.
