Details of Somerset House, 35 Bathwick Hill, Bath, Avon BA2 6LD ref 7042

The Seymours took the name of their established guest-house with them when they moved further up Bathwick Hill way back in 1985, and with it the formula for which they had become known: caring, personal service (not for those who seek anonymity), with harmoniously furnished rooms (which are gradually being upgraded and redecorated) and are offered at impressively modest prices. The Georgian character of the building has been carefully preserved, and it has a pleasant setting away from the bustle of the city centre, although it’s a tiring 15-minute walk back up the hill after a day in Bath, so you might choose to opt for a taxi.TEL (01225) 466451 FAX (01225) 317188
