HISTORY

Built in 1835 as a private residence, on land once owned by The Priory of Bath Abbey, The Bath Priory Hotel and Restaurant blends into a row of 19th century houses on the west side of the city of Bath in Somerset.

Fashioned from the traditional honey-coloured Bath stone in a Gothic style, the present day property is discreetly situated behind high walls in a tree lined residential road and offers the idyllic tranquillity only created by an authentic country house hotel.

Since acquiring the property in September 1994, present owners, Andrew and Christina Brownsword, have tastefully and lovingly refurbished the house and it is now the only hotel in Bath to hold the coveted Michelin Star for its acclaimed food as well as having an RAC Gold Ribbon, prize-winning gardens and pride of place in Egon Ronay's Top 25 Restaurants in the UK.

Complementing the property, the award-winning gardens, which conceal the outdoor heated swimming pool and sun terrace, have been matured and nurtured over 100 years to provide an idyllic and peaceful haven from the city.

Giving particular pleasure to the guests is the Victorian Kitchen Garden, which was developed from the original plot and still supplies the kitchen and Michelin Star, award-winning restaurant with most of the seasonal herbs and vegetables.
