Boutique Georgian guesthouse with award-winning breakfast near Roman Baths

Rooms & Interiors

Each of the 12 rooms is individually styled, reflecting the character of the original 1794 Georgian townhouse. Guests receive luxury bathroom amenities from The White Company, along with homemade shortbread and robes and slippers. The rooms include smart TVs and daily replenished local spring water.

Dining & Breakfast

The breakfast room, hung with Venetian chandeliers, serves a cold continental breakfast buffet with locally sourced suppliers. This offering has been recognized as the Best Breakfast in Town. Guests also have access to an in-house honesty bar stocked with wines, beers, and soft drinks.

Location & Attractions

The Kennard sits on a quiet residential street just a 5-minute walk from the Roman Baths, Bath Abbey, and the Royal Crescent. Thermae Spa and Pulteney Bridge are also within easy walking distance. The city's main shopping streets and restaurants are a short stroll away.

Special Experiences

The guesthouse has a lending library and a communal lounge area for guest relaxation. An honesty bar operates on the honor system, allowing guests to enjoy drinks in the garden or lounge. Homemade shortbread and sleep kits are provided in each room.

Highlights

Rooms: 12 individually styled rooms with White Company amenities

Breakfast: Award-winning Best Breakfast in Town with local produce

“The Kennard strikes me as a particularly graceful Georgian townhouse, one that makes the most of its historic bones with individually styled rooms. Breakfast, I gather, is a highlight here, built around quality local produce and served in a charming setting. What stands out, though, is its inviting communal areas and garden - a quiet retreat moments from Bath's bustle.”

The room felt old and lacked updates. the electric heating wasn't on when i arrived. The room was very cold. the bathroom was also cold and had rust on the door hinges. the public spaces lacked heating as well, so i wore a coat during breakfast.
