Grosvenor Villa

"Brilliant dog friendly place to stay within walking distance of Bath & on the bus route into town & one we will definitely be staying at again. We had a great welcome & Richard was a fantastic host. Our room was clean, warm & well appointed with a tv, refreshments (including wine) & even dressing gowns! The room decor, along with the house, will keep you interested with paintings, ceramics and all kinds of other ornaments, plus the amazing Italianate alter & flooring from Bath Abbey in the entrance lobby (see photo). It's definitely the poshest place we've stayed with our dog! Breakfast was tasty and very generous & Richard had really gone out of his way to accommodate my restricted diet. The only small downside was that there is no parking on site & it was a little tricky to find a spot in the surrounding streets, but you can unload & loadup right outside the door before parking your vehicle."

"Richard the owner, is a very friendly, interesting and generous person. He is full of helpful information about local interests and history. His home is beautiful, and everywhere you look there are beautiful ornaments, pictures and furniture."

"Lovely unique house, and nicely decorated in a Georgian style... Owner Richard keeps you entertained, especially at breakfast. Enjoyed our 2 night stay, and the 4 poster bed was very big, and comfy. Not forgetting the continental breakfast, which is enough to fill your belly for the morning."

"We had flown into Heathrow after sleepless flights from northwest Florida. Needless to say, we were tired which made driving out of London a little nerve-racking. The street parking at the Villa was full by the time we got there. Richard made everything better. He gave us access to his private parking area and personally made up our room early so we could get a nap in. We were so very grateful for this personal attention and kindness. But we found our stay was just that. Full of personal attention and kindness. The room was very comfortable including the mattress. Smell the towels… wonderful! Breakfast with other guests in the dining room was both interesting and delicious. Fun extras included cookies, wine and water in the room. Richard had wonderful suggestions for our days there. Do yourself a favor and eat at the centrally located restaurant The Architect, outside on the patio. The view and food are beautiful experiences. We did this each of the three day we were there. The footpath between the Villa and Bath is lovely. Good exercise and an interesting walk. We did this each day as well. You must do the free Bath walking tour. The guides are volunteers and they are all wonderful story tellers. The city bus is worth doing as well. Go on both – one goes up the prominent city hill area and the other is a thrill ride through town. The only thing I wished we’d done more of was sitting in the Villa’s garden in the evenings. We loved staying at Grosvenor Villa. We hope you enjoy staying there as much as we did."

"Simply Wow!! Richard was a most perfect host, full of info and lots of funny stories. Beautiful period property filled with antiques and curios, Bedroom no 3 has a huge 4 poster bed and stunning decor. Fabulous breakfast. The entrance hall is simply breathtaking. Highly recommended."
