Accommodation

Dolphin House offers rooms in a historic building dating to 1690. The Jane Austen suite features a separate living room, bedroom, and a bathroom up another flight of stairs. Superior Twin Rooms with Garden View provide seating areas and overlook the well-kept garden.

Dining

Continental breakfast is served each morning in the orangery, overlooking the garden. The breakfast includes fresh pastries, fruit, yogurt, toast, croissants, ham, cheese, and excellent coffee. Vegetarian options are available as part of the included breakfast.

Grounds & Gardens

The property has a beautiful, well-kept garden with scenic views of the surrounding hills. Outdoor furniture and a terrace allow guests to sit in the garden. The garden is also the setting for the orangery where breakfast is served.

Location & Transport

Dolphin House is located at the base of Solsbury Hill in Batheaston, with bus stops less than 5 minutes walk away. A 15-minute bus ride takes guests to Bath city centre, or a 3-mile canal walk reaches the city. Nearby attractions include The Circus Bath (4 km), Royal Crescent (5 km), and Bath Abbey (4.5 km).

Staying here often means discovering unexpected spaciousness, with suites providing a comfortable, private retreat. The breakfasts, enjoyed in the conservatory or orangery, are consistently noted as a highlight, as is the warm, insightful hospitality from the hosts, making it a restful alternative to staying in the city itself.”
