Dorian House, an elegant, all-stone Victorian showcase built
around 1880, is a perfect base for exploring the historic spa
town of Bath. It is about a 10-minute walk to the town center,
and off-street parking is available for all guests.
Each of the inn's eleven individually decorated rooms has an
ensuite bath, decorative fireplace, and traditional oak
four-poster bed. Each room also affords guests a view of the
Royal Crescent or the beautiful Dorian House garden. Standard
amenities include Egyptian cotton sheets, direct-dial
telephones, free wireless Internet access, television, hair
dryers, and tea/coffee making facilities.
An antique-appointed bar and lounge offers guests an
intimate place to mingle, while the Dorian House dining room
beckons with aromas of fresh-baked bread and freshly brewed
coffee. The inn's breakfast buffet items include pastries,
cereals, cheeses, and fresh fruit salad, or you can order a
full English breakfast from the menu.
In between meals, you'll enjoy sampling all of the fine
Georgian architecture in this region of England and touring
the myriad monuments that reflect Bath's colorful history,
including the famous Roman baths. There are several excellent
antique shops and art galleries, and the river offers fishing
as well as boat tours. |
In affiliation with the Dorian House, the nearby Moon and
Six Pence restaurant offers gourmet dining by reservation.
Located in a quiet courtyard just off Broad Street, this
exquisite eatery offers such signature entrees as breast of
chicken with a soft-blue cheese polenta and crispy pancetta or
ballotine of duck. Or, if you prefer, you can review the inn's
book of menus to select any one of Bath's many fine
restaurants.
This British town of Bath is a year around attraction of its
own that can be seen from a hot air balloon. Westonbirt, The
National Arboretum, is one of the most spectacular tree
gardens in the world and Stourhead Estate and Dyrham Park also
boast garden splendor and tours. Don't miss Longleat House and
Safari Park, Wookey Hole Caves, Canal Walks and Antique shops. |
