Trim Street House

You wake to the kind of quiet you only get in a proper Georgian townhouse with thick walls and high ceilings, sunlight slanting through tall windows onto wooden floors.

Trim Street House suits couples after a Bath city break with a bit more character than the chain hotels, or solo travellers who want a real bed and a proper breakfast before walking the hills above town. The pods work for anyone wanting something between camping and a full room — think of it as glamping within reach of the Roman Baths and Sally Lunn's. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking ahead if you're bringing one along.

It's a guest house setup with camping pods in the grounds, open all year so you can visit Bath in any season. Campfires depend on what's allowed when you arrive, so check at the desk. The place has that relaxed, independently-run feel — you're staying somewhere with a bit of history, not a corporate box, but still close enough to wander into town for supper.
