The Plaine
Type: Guest House
Nestled in the rolling Somerset countryside and conveniently situated in the picturesque village of Norton St Philip, just minutes away from Bath, the Plaine, a 16th Century Grade 2 listed Building is the perfect combination of traditional charm, privacy and comfort. The village of Norton St Philip boasts a 13th Century church, a 16th Century village Inn, The Fleur de Lys, as well as the impressive stature of England’s Oldest Inn ‘The George’ featured in the Good Pub Guide.
The Plaine offers affordable luxury with rooms having Four Poster Beds with en-suite facilities. All rooms sleep up to 3 people. Also included are refreshment trays in all rooms, a cosy guest lounge and private off road parking. In summer you can luxuriate in the secluded garden or have coffee in the courtyard. A reliable and regular bus service takes minutes to whisk you through glorious countryside to Bath City Centre or the park and ride facility offers another transport alternative.
Golfing, horse riding, walking, historic trails and scenic drives are all on the doorstep of the Plaine. National Trust properties and areas of outstanding natural beauty are a short drive away as well as the historic towns of Wells and Glastonbury.
Giles and Stephanie offer a warm welcome and love to help make arrangements that ensure your stay is memorable. Please let them know if you are celebrating a special occasion or have any special needs...they love to help!
