"The Grand Staircase leading up to the bedrooms
Enter the Lord Milner Hotel and the first thing you see is the Grand Staircase to the upstairs rooms.
The entrance hall is inhabited by the hotel cat who is there to welcome guests.
On the walls are paintings of Logan and other characters who make up the history of the hotel.
To the right a door leads off to the diningroom with its wooden floors which echo when you walk on them,
The windows rattle in the wind and are covered with thick heavy curtaining which was fashionable in Victorian times.
Even the lampshades are dated and look like bobbies helmets in bright red.
To the rear of the hotel is a lounge which was used by Logan and Cecil John Rhodes and still contains some of the original furniture of the period.
Logan was an avid cricketer and arranged a cricket match in the town a hundred odd years ago."
