The front door clicks shut behind you and the traffic noise fades — just polished floorboards, soft lamplight, and the particular quiet of a well-kept Victorian townhouse that knows how to welcome you in.
This is one for couples after a proper bed and a proper breakfast before heading out into Bath, solo travelers who'd rather skip the hotel chain feeling, or anyone combining a few nights under canvas elsewhere with a night or two under a roof. The Kennard sits in a handsome terrace a short walk from the city center, and while it's listed here for its occasional camping pod, it's primarily a guest house — the kind where you get a key, not a keycard, and someone who'll actually talk you through the best route to the Roman Baths.
Facilities aren't spelled out in detail, and the dog policy and campfire situation both need asking about when you book, so ring ahead if either matters. It's open all year, which makes it a useful bolt-hole if the weather turns or you fancy mixing canvas with comfort on a longer trip through the West Country.
