We are just up from the local neighbourhood area of Bear Flat only a 20 minute walk downhill into Bath city centre.

Devonshire House is situated on a main route into the city, with a frequent bus service and within walking distance of the countryside.

Chris and Louise are on hand if you need them, with friendly and informative advice so you get the most out of your visit.

Remember to take your Bath Reward card with you (on your key fob) it gives you discounts and added value throughout the city.

Checking in

Under normal circumstances we guarantee to be here to greet you between 5pm and 7pm. We can normally facilitate earlier or later check in times, but you must let us know in advance. We do have a key safe and can let you have the combination if we are not going to be available in person.

Parking

The council have removed our free on street parking, parking is now available at £5 per day at a car park 240 meters away, this must be pre booked and paid for in cash. Dependant on your arrival and departure time there may also be some free on street parking available.

Luggage Storage

We often get asked to store guests' luggage on their departure day, unfortunately as we may not be in the house when you return, it is not always possible. We always recommend that you leave your luggage, at one of the many cafes opposite the train station, who offer this facility.
