Frommer's Recommended

Set about 1.5km (1 mile) east of Bath center, amid 2.8 hectares (7 acres) of parks and gardens, this spacious Victorian country house dates from 1890. The redbrick structure contains a large glassed-in conservatory, stained-glass windows, and antiques. Bedrooms are tastefully decorated, often with half-tester beds, and most have sweeping panoramic views. Two rooms have four-poster beds. As there is no air-conditioning, windows have to be opened on hot summer nights, which will subject you to a lot of traffic noise. The Avon and Kennet Canal runs along the rear of the property, and guests enjoy summer walks along the adjacent towpath.
