With its old-fashioned charm, spacious rooms dressed in quality linen, a daily changing cooked breakfast served by staff who greet every guest with a smile, a sun-drenched terrace for lingering over coffee, and a warmly attentive team, from the chef who packs lunch boxes to the front desk who fit a brand-new rain shower without fuss, The Broadmoor offers the kind of unhurried, personal hospitality that feels increasingly rare at its very reasonable price point, though a bedbug complaint from a staff member does warrant cautious enquiry before booking.
