A Review of Our Hotel in Brock Street/ Royal Crescent Area - Bath, UK

We visited Bath, UK recently and stayed there for 3 days and 2 nights which was a good length of time for this beautiful city. My husband worked very hard doing a thorough research before booking our hotel in Bath. His efforts paid off as we loved our hotel stay there.

We relaxed in our tastefully decorated private unit within a townhouse built about 250 years ago, before the American revolution. Located in the old town of of Bath, this townhouse is one of the twelve townhouses on Brock Street built between 1767 - 1770 by John Woods, a well known architect of the period. Occupying the prime real estate location, some of these townhouses are now used for commercial purposes such as restaurants and small hotels. Our unit has been renovated containing a nice bedroom with a huge fireplace, though no longer functioning. Outside the bedroom, there is a private bathroom as well as a sitting area where guests could enjoy their morning tea/ coffee. That was what we did before heading out to explore all the shops and interesting sites close by..

This house is a fine example of Georgian architecture, a style popular in Bath during the 18th century. My husband is a history buff and we both enjoy learning about the history of the area where we stay in our travels. Our town house - on Brock Street which is a key link between two of Bath's most significant locations - the Royal Crescent and the Circus. It was only a 30 second walk for us from our townhouse to the Royal Crescent - a crescent-shaped row of 30 terraced houses designed also by John Wood, the Younger, same architect who built the townhouses on Brock Steet where we stayed.

Along with other landmarks in Bath, the Royal Crescent contributed to the city's designation as a UNESCO WORLD HERITAGTE SITE in 1987! The Brock Street/ Royal Crescent area is quite an interesting and classy area. We were told by some local residents that there were no house numbers on some of these houses as Nicholas Cage had a townhouse there and it drew curious fans knocking on some doors of these rowhouses from time to time. We loved staying at this lovely small hotel as we could experience part of its glorious historical past. We highly recommend it to other visitors to Bath!
