Blackburne Arms Hotel

Formerly sordid boozer which has had a Changing Rooms-style makeover, with Laurence and the team putting in some rather tasteful cubbyholes, solid wooden furniture, paved floors and restful prints on the walls. It's now a non-smoking gastro pub, with exotically priced food to patrons with wallets to match their palates. It's even got a very nice little outside area, where all the smokers gather to cough.
