House Rules

Facilities & Services
The guesthouse has a front and side garden patio, free WiFi, and laundry facilities. Fire extinguishers and smoke detectors are installed on both floors. The property is managed by a professional host, and ironing facilities are available upon request.
“This guesthouse, set in a 19th-century townhouse, stands out for its location near Bath's attractions. While modest, it provides that rare combination of en-suite facilities and central access at a reasonable price. I especially appreciate the garden space-a nice touch for an urban stay.”
