City Pads
For those looking to soak up Bath’s culture…
No.15 Great Pulteney
Bath’s newest boutique hotel has opened on the fashionable Great Pulteney Street, just a short walk from Bath Abbey and the Roman Baths. No.15 Great Pulteney has the wow factor from the minute you step through the door. Every inch of the hotel is adorned with eclectic and stunning pieces of artwork, installations and displays. It really is like staying in your very own private art gallery.
Harington’s Hotel
Opposite the Canary Gin Bar and tucked away on a cobbled passageway, you’ll find the quirky Harington’s Hotel. A stay at the Harington’s is a real treat, and every bedroom has been carefully designed and fantastically furnished. All of Bath’s historic sights are right on your doorstep, and after a day of exploration why not unwind in the private hot tub with a glass of bubbly?
The Queensberry
The delightfully independent Queensberry, located behind Bath Assembly Rooms, is a contemporary boutique hotel with a passion for fine food. Menus are always seasonal, always use the best local produce (which is in abundance in the South West) and dishes are a palette pleasing balance between traditional and modern.
Countryside Escapes
For those looking for a peaceful retreat…
Huts upon a Hill
Bed down in an unimaginably cosy and snug Shepherd’s hut for a night to remember. The huts have been enhanced with all your essential facilities, including a log burning fire, king size bed and en-suite. You’ll live alongside nature, and can even go horse riding at the nearby Wellow Trekking Centre.
