The building was originated as a private guest house, known as Blenheim, in the late 1800s by members of the Court of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. It was converted soon after this period and was called The Blenheim Guest House.

Accessibility
We have 31 rooms over 3 floors. We have a number of rooms that are level access from the lift or are on the ground floor. Not all our rooms are level access with some being reached by a number of stairs (3 down, 5 up). If mobility is a concern please bring this to our attention when booking accommodation. Our three ground floor twin rooms have specified en-suites wet rooms. These wet rooms (no shower tray to have to step into) offer a large shower area, shower seat and grab rail. The en-suite doorways have been widened to 2'6" (760mm) so they are same width as a standard door. These rooms may be a more suitable option if guests have greater mobility considerations.
