Perfectly situated between the Circus and Royal Crescent, Brocks has been awarded four AA stars in the Guest Accommodation category. Rooms in this Georgian building, which dates from 1765, are tastefully unobtrusive and clean. A good choice of breakfast is served in the breakfast room but the real beauty of Brocks is its location. In an area usually reserved for the more expensive hotels, staying at Brocks means you're sightseeing as soon as you step outside.
