"Bloomfield House is all about luxury and romance. We want to show they are compatible with environmental and social responsibility," says co-owner Robert Barnard-Weston.

The house is a magnificent grade II listed Georgian family home, with four poster beds, en-suite or private bathrooms, antique furniture and beautiful gardens.

The views are delightful, the hotel being situated in an elevated position on the southern edge of the city, looking down across Bath’s world-famous crescents, churches and surrounding hills.

A perfect base to explore Bath’s historic attractions, relax in its health spas or visit the stylish shops. The newly-restored Dyrham Park, Longleat House and Safari Park, and the ancient stone circles of Stonehenge and Avebury, are all nearby.
