There is wireless internet access in all rooms - ideal for guests with laptop computers.

Ironing facilities and ice can also be provided for B&B guests.
Food and Drink
A traditional full English breakfast is cooked to order each morning, which includes a selection of home made produce and traditional food.
Breakfast is often appreciated by B&B guests from all over the world, with both vegetarian and special diets easily catered for with advance notice.
There is always fresh fruit salad, yoghurt and cereal available, together with unlimited tea, freshly ground coffee, toast, homemade jams and marmalades.

Location
Bath can be reached by leaving the M4 at junction 18 and travelling south along the A46 and A4 for about 10 miles.
Travelling up-hill along the A367 to Radstock, in a southerly direction from Bath, Highways House can be found on the left hand side of the road.
Bath is well connected to the national rail network, with the mainline station just to the south of the city centre, about 10 minutes walk from the house.
A regular bus service to/from the city centre runs right past the door, around once every 10 minutes.
Leisure
This World Heritage City's attractions are so numerous that just a single night stay barely does them justice.
Bath is almost as well known for its elegant architecture as it is for its magnificent Roman Baths, which were built around the country's only natural hot springs.
Other attractions include:
- Bath Abbey
- Royal Crescent
- Assembly Rooms
- Sally Lunn's Cafe and Museum
- Theatre Royal
Equally a worth visit are the Postal Museum, Victoria Art Gallery and the Building of Bath Museum. In the surrounding countryside lie classic villages such as Lacock, along with the famous Stonehenge and Cheddar Gorge.
