Bed & BreakfastEagle House at Bathford

Eagle House is a fine listed Georgian Manor House dating from 1750 set in a peaceful village just 3 miles from Bath. The house is grand but the atmosphere is informal with the accent on personal attention. Many rooms have far reaching views over the Avon valley. There are some large family rooms one big enough for 5 persons and children sharing their parents' accommodation stay free. In addition to the rooms in the main house there is an enchanting 2 bedroomed cottage in the old Walled Garden which sleeps 4 to 6 people. We are ideally situated for Bath being only 3 miles away. There's an excellent bus service 3 an hour in to the city and 3 back out and ample private car parking within the hgarden and out of sight of the road. Many guests enjoy the fact that breakfast goes on to 10.00 am and it is possible sometimes by arrangement to organise breakfast even later. Guests appreciate the fact that they are welcome to bring their own alcoholic drinks and consume them without charge either in their room or in the lovely Drawing Room with its 16 foot ceiling and real log fire in Winter months . We are always happy to provide ice and glasses if required. Although we do not serve lunch or dinner we have two good establishments in the village both within easy walking distance and many more just a few minutes away by car or taxi.

Built in 1750 for a wealthy Silk Merchant Eagle House was designed by John Wood the Elder, the premier Palladian architect of his age operating in the Bath area. The present owners, John & Rosamund Napier, who live on the premises have spent the last 20 years restoring the house to its former glory. In addition to the rooms in the main house (some of which are large enough to accommodate 4 adults or 2 adults and 3 children) there is a delightful cottage in the old Walled Garden with 2 further double/twin bedrooms - ideal for a family or a group of 4 or 5 persons travelling together. As well as the two en-suite bedrooms in the cottage there is also a sitting room and kitchen.All bedrooms are with their own private facilities, tea & coffee trays and (in the main house) broadband Internet access. All rooms are quiet and overlook the garden and with some have far reaching views down the valley or towards Bath.There is an elegant and spacious Guests Drawing Room (with open fires on chilly evenings) and we are happy to provide ice and glasses free of charge if customers wish to consume their own drinks.
