OYO Bailbrook Lodge, Bath
The house
The lodge is a Georgian country house set in its own gardens, listed Grade II. There are 15 en-suite bedrooms, five of them with four-poster beds, plus singles, doubles and suites. It currently trades under the OYO brand, so bookings are made through OYO and the usual travel sites. Expect a period house rather than a modern hotel: rooms vary in size and layout, which is part of the character of staying in a converted Georgian home.
Who it suits
Its main selling point is the free parking. Bath's centre is notoriously tight for cars, and staying out on the A4 lets you leave the car at the lodge and head in by bus or taxi. It suits couples and families watching the budget, and anyone combining Bath with drives out to the Cotswolds or Wiltshire. If you plan to spend most of your time walking the centre, factor in the cost and time of getting in and out each day.
Around the lodge
The Old Mill Hotel, with its riverside setting at Batheaston, is less than a kilometre away for a drink or dinner. Heading back towards town, Sham Castle, the 18th-century folly on the hill above Bathwick, makes a good short walk with views over the city.
