Homewood Park Hotel & Spa - Bath

Homewood Park Hotel & Spa - Bath

Homewood Park Hotel & Spa - Bath sits in Frome, its original building dating to the thirteenth century, wrapped in twenty acres of Somerset ground that slope toward the Avon Valley. Wake up in one of just twenty-one rooms, spread across two floors and each decorated individually, and the choice most mornings is between the No-Dig Kitchen Garden's raised beds or a lap of the heated outdoor pool before breakfast. What sets it apart from other country-house spas is the dog policy: bring your own for an extra thirty-five pounds a stay and it gets a Woof Box of treats and toys, a purpose-built agility course to run, a doggy menu in the bar, and a crèche and grooming service if you'd rather explore Bath's Roman Baths or the Jane Austen Centre alone. The spa itself covers sauna, steam room and treatment rooms, and the restaurant serves modern English cooking alongside a proper afternoon tea. A small business centre and meeting spaces mean it can flex for a quiet corporate retreat, though anyone chasing a lively bar scene or wanting to be inside Bath itself, twelve kilometres off, should look elsewhere; the setting rewards people happy to drive in for the day and drive back to the garden. Couples marking an occasion will find the bridal suite and the fireplace-equipped rooms suit slow weekends, while dog owners get a stay built around their pet rather than one that merely tolerates it. It's a hotel for people who want quiet company, a fire in the room, and a reason to come back with the dog next time. A thirteenth-century country house near Frome with twenty-one individually decorated rooms, a heated pool and spa, plus a dog policy few hotels match, from Woof Boxes to an agility course. Best suited to couples and dog owners after a slow weekend, not those wanting to be inside Bath itself.
