Amazingly peaceful with friendly hosts!
The family that run this property are utterly wonderful. We had a very comfortable bed with beautiful views and were quite sad to leave. I would wholeheartedly recommend a stay here.

Although well outside of Bath transportation by Uber or bus was easy. This is an old Rectory and the rooms are large with high ceilings, and you have a great view of the English farmland. We stopped there first and Rowena was able to give all the Bath tour tips AND she is also a restaurant specialist about all the great places to eat in London, and by my family's 4 thumbs up, she was RIGHT!!! I highly recommend you stop in the House Near Bath when you arrive to get used to the time difference, rest a couple of days, tour Bath on your own and let Rowena give you the low-down on restaurants not to miss in London. You GO, girl!!!

Well-run hotel with character not far from Bath
We stayed for one night while visiting Bath and Bristol for the weekend. The hotel is set in an old rectory. The rooms were clean, comfortable and interesting. Almost all of the products used in the hotel were of high quality and seemed to be locally sourced; from the hand soap to the home-cooked English breakfast. The owners were extremely friendly and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay, even offering recommendations on places to visit and restaurants to try. Their is a local bus that stops just outside the pub opposite the hotel. The bus takes about 30 minutes to get into Bath. I'd thoroughly recommend this hotel if you're visiting the area.

Fantastic stay and most wonderful host couple
The House has lots of charm with comfortable rooms and a wonderful breakfast. The grounds are gorgeous in a small village location. But by far the five stars are given for the host couple. So sweet and kind, and a fountain of knowledge of the area.

WONDERFUL B&B, staff and setting. Felt like family
Rowena and Michael (and Mark) were so gracious, friendly, concerned for our well-being and overall experience. Incredible breakfast, beautiful country setting only 20 minutes to Bath and 45 minutes to Stonehenge. We actually felt we were leaving 'family' when we checked out after 4 night-stay.

Fabulous place
We loved staying here! Rowena and Mike were wonderful, warm and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The grounds and countryside were beautiful and it was so quiet at night. The bed was incredibly comfy and the room was clean and spacious. Care was taken to ensure little packaging waste - milk and juice in glass bottles that were used again. Breakfast was delicious, really wonderful, fresh and locally sourced ingredients perfectly cooked! A fantastic place and stay. We’d love to visit again!

Superb hosts who look after you.
I wasn't sure what to expect from The House near Bath. Firstly the location. Do we stay in Bath with a price increase or outside for better value for money etc. Woolverton is 15-20 minutes south of Bath. Its also well placed for surrounding areas like Frome too. Driving to Bath, we found a car park space fairly easy in the morning but it got busier as the day went on. Taxi and bus are an option too. Then theres the property. Is it a hotel or a B&B? It kind of has the best bits of both. Free parking, wi-fi and lovely surrounding land with a nice night sky. Leaving the best until last are the hosts Mike and Rowena. Really nice people who provide the personal touch which is why the ratings are high for this place. The breakfast is cooked to order with food from locally sourced farms. The quality of everything is not sacrificed for profit. They could easily use inferior food drink and toiletries for the sake of profit but the customer experience is put before that. Breakfast is included and cooked to order. Elsewhere fruitbowls, cereals and continental breakfast is all high quality and/or fresh. The bar located in a large conservatory is stocked with Britsh drinks and spirits from independent or family run businesses, again supporting lcoal and British companies. There are plenty of books and games for children too and a marvellous snooker table too. Mike and Rowena make this place. You want them to do well as they put so much into it. Highly recommended and great value.

Host Rowena and her husband made us so welcome for our recent one night stay. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable and we loved the decor and atmosphere. Very much made to feel like we were a house guest in their home. Loved the fact that all produce and drinks were sourced locally and breakfast was delicious. Perfect location, just a 20 min drive into Bath and much better value for money than spending a huge amount for accommodation in the city centre.
