A warm, characterful home in Bath’s historic riverside quarter

Bath sells itself on the crescents, and rightly so, but they were built to be looked at. This house was built to be lived in: rooms in sensible proportions, a garden you can sit in without an audience, and light that moves right through the middle of the house during the day.

The main living room is at the front of the house, with the kitchen and dining space leading through towards the garden. It is a comfortable, unfussy home, arranged to give you a relaxed base for exploring the city.

It sits in Newbridge, a few minutes from the canal towpath and the Bristol & Bath Railway Path, with a flat thirty-five minute walk into the centre along the water.

Before you book

Six things worth knowing

We would rather you read this now than discover it on the doorstep. Everything here is true of the house, and none of it should be a surprise.

It is a thirty-five minute walk into the centre of Bath. Flat and pretty along the canal, but it is a walk. The 39, X39 and 716 run from Newbridge if you would rather not.

Parking is on-street. It is free and unrestricted, which is rare in Bath, but it is not a driveway and on a busy evening you may park a little way down.

Four guests maximum, out of consideration for the neighbours. That one is firm.

No pets, and the house is smoke- and vape-free throughout, including candles and incense.

The wood burner is decorative. It looks the part but it does not light.

This is a home rather than a party house. Quiet hours are 10pm to 8am.

If none of that puts you off, we think you will like it here very much.

Where the house is, and how you get about

The house is in Newbridge, on the western edge of Bath. Close enough to walk in along the water, far enough out that you can park outside for nothing.

Explore Bath
On foot
Thirty-five minutes into the centre along the Kennet & Avon canal towpath. Flat the whole way, and the prettiest route in.
By bus
The 39 and X39 serve Newbridge for the city centre and Bristol. The 716 links Newbridge, Locksbrook and Lower Weston with the centre.
Parking
Free and unrestricted on the street. No permits, no time limits. That is rare in Bath. Avon Park, the road beside the house, is usually the most convenient place to leave the car.
By train
Bath Spa station, with direct connections to Bristol, London and beyond. A short taxi or the bus from there; Uber works well here.
By bike
The Bristol & Bath Railway Path and the canal towpath are both a few minutes away. Bikes go on the paved area in the enclosed rear garden (bring your own lock).
Arriving
Check in 3:00pm – 9:00pm, check out by 11:00am. Self check-in, so you are not waiting on anyone.

What guests ask before they book

If your question is not here, write to us and one of us will answer it, usually the same day.

How far is it into Bath?

Thirty-five minutes on foot along the Kennet & Avon canal towpath, and flat the whole way. The 39 and X39 buses serve Newbridge for the city centre and Bristol, and the 716 links Newbridge, Locksbrook and Lower Weston with the centre. Uber works well here too.

Is there parking?

Yes, and it is free. Parking is unrestricted on-street with no permits and no time limits, which is unusual for Bath. Avon Park, the road beside the house, is often the most convenient place to leave the car.

How many can stay?

Four guests, in two bedrooms. That is a firm limit rather than a guideline, out of consideration for the neighbours.

Can I bring my dog?

Sorry, no. Pets aren't permitted at The Bath Stay.

What time is check-in and check-out?

Check-in is between 3:00pm and 9:00pm, and check-out is by 11:00am. If you would like a later check-out, message in advance and we will confirm if it is possible.

Is it good for bikes?

Very. The enclosed rear garden has high fencing, keypad access and a Ring camera, and there is space on the paved area for bikes (bring your own lock). The Bristol & Bath Railway Path and the canal towpath are both a few minutes away.

Is there Wi-Fi?

Yes, throughout the house. The network is TheBathStay and the password is on your stay page and in the Welcome Book in the house.

What do you provide?

400-thread-count bedding, Egyptian cotton towels, Faith in Nature toiletries, a fully equipped kitchen with Elite pans, olive oil, herbs and seasonings, a Nespresso machine, and fresh milk and butter in the fridge for your arrival.

Is it suitable for children?

Yes. There is a small children's play park directly opposite the house, and Royal Victoria Park with its adventure playground is a short drive on the way into town.
