Near to city centre but relatively quiet |
Newbridge Hill Bath, North East Somerset BA1 3PT United Kingdom +44 1225 33 6966 http://www.apsley-house.co.uk |
This is an elegant house that is situated behind high walls and built in the early part of the 19th century.

Despite its lofty elegance, a warm welcome and hearty breakfast is assured and evening meals are available. For the more energetic, it should be noted that there is car parking if you wish to leave your car and stroll the mile or so into Bath's city centre. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Unusually for Bath, the Bath Tasburgh is brick-built in a city that is predominantly constructed of Bath stone.

A house of much historical interest and actually situated above a tunnel built in the 19th century by the great Victorian railway engineer, Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

One of the oldest inns in England |
High Street Norton Saint Philip Bath, North East Somerset BA3 6LH United Kingdom +44 1373 83 4224 http://www.thegeorgeinn-nsp.co.uk |
It is alleged that this site has held a licence since the 12th century, when monks brewed beers and wines from their own home-grown produce. That would make it one of the oldest inns in England. The Duke of Monmouth stayed here in 1685 when someone supposedly took a pot shot at him. The musket ball is still said to be lodged in one of the window frames. Following the rebellion, 'Hanging Judge Jefferies' also stayed here - erecting a gallows out in the yard! It's certainly come on a bit since then. Each room has all modern comforts yet the rooms retain their medieval character. The inn itself offers good food and beer plus fine wines. Disabled visitors are welcome and special breaks are available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Beautifully appointed public and guest rooms await your arrival in this well run attractive house which dates from Victorian times. All rooms are en suite and individually decorated to a very high standard. Breakfast is served in a conservatory style room which overlooks the gardens. The gardens, in turn, overlook a sweeping panorama of the city. The city itself and all its attractions are only ten minutes away on foot so it isn't a bad idea to leave your car behind and take it slowly. After you've finished with sightseeing, shopping or visiting the theatre, why not come back and sit quietly in the residents lounge or out on the floodlit gazebo. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The oldest hotel in Bath |
Lansdown Road Bath, North East Somerset BA1 5EH United Kingdom http://www.marstonhotels.co.uk |
Because it is situated in a turning about half way up Lansdown Hill, guests can be assured of a pretty fair view of the city from the front windows. Parking, and the reception area are at the front of the hotel; the fact that there are superb gardens at the rear is hardly noticeable. Built in Georgian times, the Lansdown Grove has been renovated in recent times to something approaching its past elegance when it was, so legend has it, the first hotel in Bath. A lift is available for those unable to manage the stairs. It is perfectly feasible to walk down Lansdown Hill into the centre of the city. For the less energetic it is advised that they take a taxi-cab back up. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Because of its location in the village of Timsbury, it is ideal for venturing beyond Bath to places of interest like Longleat, Cheddar, Stonehenge and Wookey Hole. Rates for special breaks, which are available all year, can be quoted on request. It should be noted however that the Old Malthouse is closed from the 24th to the 28th of December.
