Hill House was built in 1762, originally as a hotel and later a vintners. At the time the Royal Crescent was only half completed and Camden Crescent had not even been started. Indeed on the old maps we have soured our back door originally opened on to fields! We are uniquely places for visiting Bath as we are on the edge of the city being only 3 minutes from the Assembly Rooms and 5 minutes from the Royal Crescent by foot. Yet you can see Solsbury Hill ( as made famous by Peter Gabriel) from our windows.

We are in the central zone of Bath and have a wealth of architecture for you to enjoy. Jane Austen used to watch a friend's daughter ride her pony in the Riding school behind us, Walter Sickert, a famous English painter,painted scenes from outside Hill House when he to visit his Uncle who lived opposite us; Nicolas Cage owned a property on the Circus (3 minutes away) and the Captain of Bath Rugby is a close neighbour! The narrow street with high Georgian townhouses are great to loose yourself in and we are happy to direct you to some of the of the places we love which are off the normal tourist trail. We are very lucky to be set between the three major Crescents of Bath, all within a 5 minute walk of Hill House. Lansdown Crescent is probably the most beautiful, especially at night, but is rarely found by tourists. Camden Crescent has carved elephants heads above each doorway and has amazing views over the city. And of course the Royal Crescent is the iconic architectural landmark of Bath. Despite being in the central zone of Bath you are only 10 minutes from the countryside. We are also ideally located as a base to explore the Cotswolds, Bristol, Somerset and beyond.
