The Bath Priory has all the makings of an indulgent countryside escape, yet it’s just a stone’s throw from Bath’s historic centre. With its honey-hued Georgian charm, this luxury country house hotel is set within four acres of dreamy, landscaped gardens—think manicured lawns, fragrant flowers, and a tranquil pond that feels a world away from the bustling city.
Inside, the charm continues with beautifully appointed rooms and suites, each with its own unique style, blending classic elegance with modern touches. The drawing rooms are particularly inviting—perfect spots to sip Afternoon Tea or lose yourself in a good book by the fire.
But what sets The Bath Priory apart is its spa and dining. The Garden Spa by L’Occitane is a haven for pampering, with treatments designed to relax and rejuvenate using the finest Provençal ingredients. When it’s time to dine, the restaurant delivers a feast for the senses, emphasising seasonal, locally sourced produce used in dishes that showcase British flavours at their best. Children of all ages are welcome to stay at The Bath Priory and infants stay for free. The Bath Priory allows dogs in two of its Premier Deluxe Rooms, "Foxglove" and "Moringa", by request
Whether you’re in the mood to explore Bath’s treasures or simply unwind in stunning surroundings, The Bath Priory is a luxury hotel experience you’ll want to return to again and again.
