Since the 1500s

A House with History

Our 4-bedroom townhouse was once a thriving village pub — its low beamed ceilings, thick stone walls and original features tell a story stretching back to the 16th century. Next door, the 3-bedroom cottage shares the same remarkable heritage. Both now yours, exclusively, for your group.

Our Commitment

Something better than a hotel

We specialise in giving you exactly what large groups actually need: entire period properties with character, space to breathe, and enough bedrooms that nobody's drawing straws for the sofa bed. We're not hotels. We're not serviced apartments. We're something better: beautiful historic homes in and around Bath that become exclusively yours. No shared corridors. No breakfast room awkwardness. Just you, your people, and a proper base to call home whilst you explore one of England's most stunning cities.

The Space

Two homes, fifteen guests
