Welcome to RIVER HOUSE, near Bath:
This special and private location on the outskirts of Bath in the South Cotswolds was once the site of a Carthusian Monastery and is scheduled by Historic England.
Accessed only by a no-through road, so almost traffic-free, River House is within 10 minutes of the bustling city of Bath and close to the thriving market towns of Frome and Bradford on Avon.

BEDROOMS can be arranged as super-king doubles or twins rooms, according to your preference.
River House sleeps 10 - 12 in 5 bedrooms and the Coach House sleeps 2 - 5 with one bedroom and further sofa and portable beds.
The properties can be rented together, or separately. Please be sure to let us know if you need both together. Also, please check, before booking a group of 12 or more, that both properties are available together on your chosen dates.
The Coach House is only automatically included if you are a group of 12+.

River House Bath and The Coach House together comprise over 5,000 square feet of accommodation with 2 spacious kitchens and large living rooms.

The conservatory/dining room and a double-length traditional living room, with log-burning fires at each end, makes River House perfect for larger and mixed-age family groups and also for celebrations and entertaining.

Please note that there are some restrictions on outside lighting and noise, due to our location in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
