About the home

You could not choose a more beautiful or stately residence for your special occasion in Bath – whether you have come to Bath for a leisurely spa break or a once in a lifetime celebration, The Duchy will make your visit to Bath a wonderful and unique experience.

The Duchy is a handsome Georgian town house with an amazing history. For the last 100 years it was the Offices of the Duchy of Cornwall in Bath, where Prince Charles stayed on his many visits to this magical little city. The present owners purchased the town house from the Duchy just a few years ago and carefully restored it to its present elegant state.

This historic town house is located just off Great Pulteney Street, one of the most famous streets of Bath, and is only a short stroll from the Roman Baths, the Bath Abbey, and all the many excellent restaurants and cafés that Bath is known for.

The Duchy offers both flexibility and splendour for whatever occasion you may be planning for your visit to Bath, for it boasts both a magnificent Drawing Room with its lovely “Withdrawing Room”, and a formal dining room and garden, providing a fabulous amount of space for entertaining.

The stunning and perfectly equipped Kitchen is on the lower ground floor and leads into the Formal Dining Room, which in turn opens onto a real Georgian Garden, with water-lillie padded pools and lovely shrubs and flowering plants surrounding a perfect outdoor dining area.

Spread over 5 gracious floors, this splendid house has 7 spacious and beautifully decorated bedrooms and has been arranged to sleep up to 16 persons comfortably. There are two full bathrooms, a delightful shower room and one pretty cloak room.

All the rooms have glorious windows with delightful views and are exquisitely decorated in keeping with the grandeur and period of the house. The Georgian Garden is a particularly fine feature and offers a welcome respite on those fine Bath afternoons after a day filled with museums and shopping.

Everything you could possibly require will be in the house, from TV, DVD and WIFI, to lovely linens and towels. Speciality teas and coffees, as well as milk and cookies and other special treats are waiting for you upon your arrival.

The Duchy is a fabulous and unique residence in the very centre of Bath with the Thermae Bath Spa as well as the Roman Baths just a short stroll away.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
This is a luxury town house. Everything you could possibly dream about is here. All the decorations are superb, the windows glorious and the garden precious. The kitchen makes food preparation a delight and the drawing room invites you to entertain.

Further details outdoors:
There is an authentic Georgian Garden with French doors leading out from the dining room and kitchen. The garden has special plantings, pristine lily pad covered pools and makes a wonderful spot to relax and enjoy a glass of Champagne.

To the front of the house is all of Bath, right outside your door, with gardens, heritage sites, terrific shops and excellent restaurants - as well as the Thermae Bath Spa!

Bath is easy to access from all over the UK and the world.

TRAINS:
I always suggest taking the train to Bath. Once in Bath you can walk to all the sites (Bath is only 1/2 mile across) and you can take small van tours to neighboring sites.

High speed, direct train services operated by First Great Western link Bath Spa train station to London and its major airports. Bath Spa train station is well situated, just 5 minutes level walk into the city centre's main shopping and tourist areas. See: www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk

AIRPORTS:
Bristol International Airport is just 15 miles from Bath and operates direct flights from New York and Orlando in the USA, as well as most major European and UK airports. An express bus service to Bristol Temple Meads train station operates throughout the day, and Bath is just a 20 minute train journey from there. See: www.bristolairport.co.uk

“A real wow house in a brilliant location” We had a fantastic time at this stunning Georgian townhouse in central Bath. We were celebrating my wife's birthday and found it excellent in every way.
