Batheaston House

Batheaston, with a history dating back to Neolithic times and roads built by the Romans, is now an inviting village surrounded by green belts and within the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Beautiful walks into the countryside abound, including the enchanting surroundings of Little Solsbury Hill—an early Iron Age walled village and prominent local landmark. The River Avon gracefully flows nearby into Bath, and the village centre provides essential amenities, including a convenience store, newsagents, post office, chemist, doctors, dentist, vets, a pub, café, and fast-food outlets.

The city of Bath, a short stroll away, captivates with its excellent selection of High Street and independent shops, galleries, cafes, bars, and restaurants. Bath's vibrant atmosphere extends to regular festivals, encompassing art, literature, music, and theatre, as well as being home to Bath Rugby. The city's allure includes renowned attractions such as The Roman Baths, Holburne Museum, Victoria Art Gallery, Bath Abbey, the Assembly Rooms, Pulteney Bridge, Royal Crescent, The Circus, and the Thermae Spa—all within a pleasant stroll through the captivating streets and alleys portrayed in TV's Bridgerton. Guided walks, ghost tours, history and comedy tours, open-top bus rides, and riverboat trips further enrich the city's offerings.

Bath Spa train station, the Coach station, and most of the city are approximately three miles from the property. A regular local bus service operates between Batheaston (Morris Lane or Stambridge) and Bath Coach Station (Dorchester Street), taking between 15-20 minutes. Convenient transportation options within the city include walking, Uber, and local taxis, rendering a car unnecessary for exploring the shops, theatres, museums, restaurants, bars, parks, and amenities within the city centre.
