Hollis House

Twelve rooms, four floors, one blue door.

Hollis House is two Georgian townhouses on Henrietta Street in Bathwick, joined into one small hotel. Hanna Lind and Owen Reece have run it since 2016: she looks after the house, and he cooks the breakfast.

Rooms from £145 a night for two, with breakfast.

Read the house by its windows.

From the street

The taller the window, the grander the room.

That was the rule when these houses went up in the 1790s. Our rates still follow it, from the old kitchen to the attic.

Lower ground floor

Breakfast, in the old kitchen

8am

until 10.30, and until 11 at weekends

Cooked to order by Owen, at long tables by the door to the walled garden.

Ground floor

Two Hall rooms

from £195

a night for two, breakfast included

King-size beds and shower rooms, steps from the front door. One has step-free access, and dogs are welcome in both.

First floor

Two Tall-window rooms and a suite

from £235

a night for two; the Drawing Room suite from £295

Second floor

Four Classic rooms

from £175

a night for two, breakfast included

Top floor

Three Attic rooms

from £145

a night for two, breakfast included

Small doubles under the eaves, with views over the rooftops to the hills. Seventy-four stairs up, and we carry your bags.

No two rooms are the same shape.

Two old houses make twelve different rooms: some with a fireplace, some with a roll-top bath, the attic rooms with a slope to the ceiling. Every one has a sash window that opens.

In every room: linen sheets, leaf tea and coffee on a tray, fast wifi, and a television in all but the Attic rooms.

Tall-window room, first floor. From £235 a night.

Attic room, top floor. From £145 a night.

A roll-top bath on the first floor.

“We asked for an attic room and woke up to the best view in Bath, for £145.”
