Paradise House is ideally situated in a quiet location on the Southern slopes of the City just 5 minutes walk from Bath Spa Station and 7 minutes walk from the City Centre, Roman Baths and Abbey.
The original house dates back to 1735 with later additions most notably in
Victorian times. The Georgian entrance built of mellow honey coloured Bath stone presents a dignified and classic exterior behind which can be found more than half an acre of splendid walled gardens where trim lawns, and rose-covered pergolas do their best to compete with the splendour of the City below. With panoramic views across to the Royal Crescent, Abbey and City, the gardens are overlooked only by the ancient Magdalen Chapel. These secluded gardens are available to guests at all times and offer the perfect setting in which to relax and unwind.
The house itself has been lovingly and sympathetically restored to achieve
the very highest standard of accommodation and comfort whilst retaining many
of its original period features creating an atmosphere of gracious charm and
tranquillity. The 11 bedrooms are all fully ensuite, and are individually decorated with an array of antique furnishings and wonderful fabrics, all offer direct dial telephone, colour television, radio alarms, central heating, hairdryers and hot drink facilities.
Paradise is a small privately owned hotel and guests are offered a very warm
welcome and personal care. Help is always available if you require information
on how best to spend your time in and around the beautiful city of Bath.
A
quite delicious traditional English Breakfast is served in the dining room with
Continental breakfast available in your room should you require. There is a
splendid drawing room where an open fire glows with warmth and comfort in Winter and stunning views can be enjoyed from the beautiful arched windows over the gardens and beyond. Guests are welcome to relax and unwind from their day and Paradise has a residence license should you wish to enjoy a drink from the bar.
Daily newspapers are at hand as well as local information on Bath and surrounding areas.
Bath has a wealth of restaurants to suit all tastes, personal recommendations
can be given and help with reservations is always available.
Paradise will afford you many wonderful memories of Bath not least the illuminated spire of the Abbey at night a spectacular sight.
In the words of our guests Bob & Debb from Atlanta "What a great find! We can't wait to tell our friends"
The following is an extract from "Staying off the Beaten Track" an Arrow paperback by Elizabeth Gundrey.
"The house itself was built about 1720, with all the elegance which
that implies: a classical pediment above the front door and well-proportioned
sash windows with rounded tops in a façade of honey coloured Bath stone.
But it had been sadly neglected in later times.
At the back, beyond a veranda with ivy-leaf ironwork, is quite a large
walled garden (a sun-trap in the afternoon) with lawns, fish-pool, a rose-covered
pergola and marvellous views of the city and hills all around. This secluded
setting extends behind the medieval Magdalen Chapel next door, which was
once a hostel for lepers banned form the city. As to Bath itself - which
attracts more visitors than any other place in England except London - its
attractions are so varied that they can hardly be compressed into one paragraph.
Just wandering among the Georgian perfections of its streets and squares,
which spread from the historic centre right up the sides of the surrounding
hills, is a pleasure in itself, and it would take many days to explore them
all." .
One of the Britain's most breathtaking cities, its heritage is unique. Designated in 1988 a "World Heritage Site" it is the only City in Britain to hold this acclaimed title.
Bath offers year round appeal to its visitors with a fine selection of shops,
art galleries, antiques markets and auction houses. The Theatre Royal built
in 1805 stands proudly in the city centre and offers a wide range of excellent
productions.
Bath is situated at the Southern end of the Cotswold way and as such is an
ideal base from which to explore this famous area. Also within easy reach
are Stonehenge, Avebury, Longleat House, Stourhead Gardens, Lacock, Castle
Combe and the Cathedral towns of Salisbury and Wells, there are many specialist
tours to these areas or private excursions can be arranged.
