The Boathouse - A Riverside Bath Hotel with Private Balconies and River Avon Views

Positioned along the River Avon, The Boathouse combines a restaurant, bar, and nine individually designed rooms just 2 miles from Bath's Royal Crescent. This 4-star Bath hotel features rooms equipped with private bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, electric kettles, and seating areas, while select accommodations include private balconies overlooking the river and countryside. The restaurant serves locally-sourced English breakfast daily and hearty meals made with high-quality regional ingredients. A raised deck and landscaped gardens provide scenic riverside dining spaces. The property maintains free Wi-Fi throughout and offers luggage storage facilities. Located 2 miles from the Roman Baths and 2.5 miles from Bath Spa, The Boathouse sits 0.5 miles from Newbridge Park, where frequent bus services connect to central Bath. Bristol is situated 18.5 miles from the property.

Pros

Riverside location with landscaped gardens and scenic countryside views

Real ales available at the bar

Outdoor deck and garden furniture for al fresco dining

Frequent public transport connections via nearby Newbridge Park

Cons

2 miles distance from main Bath attractions

Limited on-site entertainment options

“I see a riverside property whose charm seems best savored from its outdoor deck, drink in hand. It appears that its location, though scenic, may demand a premium, and the service perhaps warrants a closer look. However, its historical setting and individual room designs do suggest a unique experience.”
