The Victorian townhouse features and Scandi minimalist designs will appeal to those looking for a laid-back stay – the large bay windows, Wegner Wishbone Chairs and family-style table are the perfect ingredients for memorable dinners. There’s plenty to discover in this vibrant festival city with its Roman roots and Viking past, and since this home sits just outside the centre, you can unwind away from the bustling heart.
