The setting
This hotel is in the heart of Bath, surrounded by a cluster of Georgian townhouses that are listed as historic landmarks and situated on one of the cityâs most prestigious streets. The rooms are both in the main building and in the detached Coach House behind it. This coach house was built about 30 years after the main building and features a facade with Gothic-style dentil moldings. Great Pulteney Street and Recreation Ground are in the immediate vicinity, most of the old town can be explored on foot.
What to expect
Thirty-six bedrooms and suites, no two the same, decorated with playful British art and pieces from graduates of the Bath School of Art. There's a bar with a British slant and a restaurant serving local cooking, plus a spa for treatments between sightseeing. Attic Small Guest Rooms look over rooftops; Coach House rooms have standalone tubs and rain showers.
Things to do nearby
Great Pulteney Street is right at the entrance to the building, and Recreation Groundâa vast green space along the riverâis just a few minutesâ walk away. Both the Simon art gallery and Temple Precinct are so close that you can walk to both in less than 10 minutes. Since the Cotswold Way trail also begins nearby, this is the perfect spot if you want to venture outside the city for a long walk.
Best for
Whether itâs couples whoâve spent a weekend in Batumi dedicated to design, art lovers who appreciate the eclectic interior and the works of the Bath School of Art, or anyone looking to visit the spa, located just a few minutesâ walk from the Old Town in the Georgian styleâeveryone is welcome here. Families are also always welcome; the hotel even has a game room on the premises.

Quirky but nice
Great location within walking distance of most things. The first room we were shown (no 22 I think) was almost impossibly small. This should really be a storage… Read full review on ZenHotels â
Your 3 days, loosely planned
Suggestions, not orders. Tour ideas to mix and match for your trip.
Arrival and a wander around Great Pulteney Street
After checking in, you head straight to Great Pulteney Street, which is just a few minutesâ walk from the hotel entrance. You stroll down this street from one end to the other toward Holburne, and then head back via a side street toward Abbey. After spending some time in the city centre over a cup of coffee to take a break, you return to the hotel bar for a pre-dinner cocktail. To unwind from the rigors of travel, itâs worth booking a treatment at the spa later on.
Art, green space and a slow city day
In the morning, visit the âSimon's Art Exhibition,â located just a few minutesâ walk from the hotel, and then stop by the recreational park for a stroll along the riverbank. After lunch at one of the cityâs cafes, you can spend the afternoon shopping in the Temple Precinct area and central. When you return to the hotel, you can relax for about an hour at the spa. For dinner, youâll have a choice: either the hotel restaurant or one of the local restaurants.
A stretch of the Cotswold Way before check-out
A walk lasting about one to two hours is plenty of time to enjoy the atmosphere of the hills overlooking the city of Bath. Once you return to the hotel, freshen up and spend the rest of the morning exploring the sights you havenât had a chance to visit yet. You can take another stroll through the city centre, have a coffee by the river, or admire the architecture one last time.

FAQ
How many days are enough for a trip to Bath?
Two or three days are more than enough to visit Bath. That way, youâll not only have time to explore the Georgian cityscape around Great Pulteney Street, Recreation Ground Park, and the Abbey district, but also the chance to relax and enjoy spa treatments in the afternoon or take a stroll along the Cotswold Way. A two-night stay fits this itinerary perfectly.
What are the top things to do in Bath?
Take a stroll down Walk Great Pulteney Street, spend some time at Recreation Ground Park, visit the monastery and the ruins of the Roman baths, and stop by the Royal Crescent and Circus. Art lovers should definitely check out Simon's Art Exhibition and Temple Precinct, both near the hotel. You can also go on long hikes along the Cotswold Way, which begins near the town.
Is Bath one of the prettiest cities in the UK?
Many travellers consider Bath to be one of the most charming cities in the United Kingdom, primarily because of the honey-coloured Georgian townhouses, the cathedral, and the Roman baths. On streets such as Great Pulteney Street, the splendor of 18th-century architecture is particularly evident, and the hotel is right in the heart of this setting, in the section where a whole row of Georgian-style townhousesâall designated as protected historic landmarksâstands side by side.
Is Bath or York nicer to visit?
Both cities are charming; ultimately, itâs a matter of taste. Bath is distinguished by its Georgian-era cityscape; in this compact city, the thermal baths take centre stage, and visitors can enjoy houses with terraces made of light-coloured stone, as well as walks along the riverfront. York is a city where a medieval atmosphere still reigns, with its cathedral, city walls, and Shambles. If youâre looking for an elegant 18th-century cityscape and want to spend time in a spa town, Bath is just what you need. However, if you want to stroll through cobblestone streets and immerse yourself in history from Roman times to the Viking era, you should choose York.
How long do you need to spend in Bath?
During a long weekend with two or three overnight stays, youâll have plenty of time to explore the main attractions at a leisurely pace. Mid-October, when you plan to visit, is the off-season for tourism. Youâll be able to enjoy the fall colours throughout the resort, and since itâs cool here during the day, this is the perfect time to take a stroll around town followed by some relaxation at the hotelâs spa.
