Information:

You could not choose a more beautiful or stately residence for your special occasion in Bath – whether you have come to Bath for a leisurely spa break or a once in a lifetime celebration, The Duchy will make your visit to Bath a wonderful and unique experience.  

The Duchy is a handsome Georgian townhouse with an amazing history.  For the last 100 years it was the Offices of the Duchy of Cornwall in Bath, where Prince Charles stayed on his many visits to this magical little city.  The present owners purchased the townhouse from the Duchy just a few years ago and carefully restored it to its present elegant state.  

This historic townhouse is located just off Great Pulteney Street, one of the most famous streets of Bath, and is only a short stroll from the Roman Baths, the Bath Abbey, and all the many excellent restaurants and cafés that Bath is known for.  

The Duchy offers both flexibility and  splendour for whatever occasion you may be planning for your visit to Bath, for it boasts both a magnificent Drawing Room with its  lovely “Withdrawing  Room”, and a formal dining room and garden, providing a fabulous amount of space for entertaining.  

The stunning and perfectly equipped Kitchen is on the lower ground floor and leads into the Formal Dining Room, which in turn opens onto a real Georgian Garden, with water-lillie padded pools and lovely shrubs and flowering plants surrounding a perfect outdoor dining area.  

Spread over 5 gracious floors, this splendid house has 7 spacious and beautifully decorated bedrooms and has been arranged to sleep up to 16 persons comfortably.  There are two full bathrooms, a delightful shower room and one pretty cloack room.     

All the rooms have glorious windows with delightful views and are exquisitely decorated in keeping with the grandeur and period of the house. The Georgian Garden is a particularly fine feature and offers a welcome respite on those fine Bath afternoons after a day filled with museums and shopping.  

Everything you could possibly require will be in the house, from TV, DVD and WIFI, to lovely linens and towels.  Specialty teas and coffees, as well as milk and cookies and other special treats are waiting for you upon your arrival.  

The Duchy is a fabulous and unique residence in the very centre of Bath with the Thermae Bath Spa as well as the Roman Baths just a short stroll away.

Please Remember that All Laura's Properties are Non-Smoking!
