The Duchy is a handsome 7 bedroom Georgian townhouse in the very centre of Bath with an amazing history. For the last 100 years it was the Offices of the Duchy of Cornwall in Bath, where Prince Charles stayed on his many visits to this magical little city. The present owners purchased the townhouse from the Duchy just a few years ago and carefully restored it to its present elegant state. |

The Duchy offers both flexibility and splendour for whatever occasion you may be planning on your visit to the City of Bath. A large house for parties is rarely available with self catering in a city, especially such an interesting and historic one. It boasts both a magnificent Drawing Room with its lovely “Withdrawing Room”, and a formal dining room leading out to a lovely garden, providing a fabulous amount of space for entertaining.
The stunning, perfectly equipped modern kitchen, on the lower ground floor, leads into the Formal Dining Room, which in turn opens onto a real Georgian Garden. Spread over 5 gracious floors, this splendid house has seven spacious and beautifully decorated bedrooms (both twin and king bedded rooms) and has been arranged to sleep up to 16 persons comfortably. There are two full bathrooms, a delightful shower room and one pretty cloakroom. All the rooms have glorious windows with delightful views and are exquisitely decorated in keeping with the grandeur and period of the house. Everything you could possibly require will be in the house, from TV, DVD and WIFI, to lovely linens and towels. Specialty teas and coffees, as well as milk and cookies and other special treats are waiting for you upon your arrival. |
