Horseshoe House The South West

Happy days and party nights

Horseshoe House, just outside the beautiful city of Bath, is a house for celebrations. In a previous life it was a welcoming pub and now it has been restored above and beyond its former glory, to offer luxury break accommodation for up to 18 guests (or up to 30 with additional cost, see below). Furnished in vibrant colours and textures, equipped with everything from a Bluetooth streaming system to a grand piano, and with an acre of outdoor space, it’s perfect for a family celebration. Hold tournaments in the games room, dine around the grand banqueting table, and relax in the outdoor hot tub. Take a book down from the groaning bookshelves, spin some of your favourite vinyl on the record player and watch from the terrace as the kids hare about the garden or play on the trampoline. When bedtime beckons – after a nightcap in the cosy snug bar – sanctuary awaits. All eight rooms are styled individually with a perfect mix of elegance and comfort, and there’s a practical combination of family rooms and double rooms with zip and link beds. Nearby attractions to keep the children occupied include the city of Bath, Longleat Safari Park and the Cotswold Water Park.

The property sleeps 18 or up to 30 using six double sofa beds available for additional charges. Website prices are for up to 18 guests. Additional charges for the double sofa beds (per sofa bed, per stay) are: £200 for 2-night stays; £250 for 3-night weekend or 4-night midweek stays and £500 for 7-night stays.

Guest Reviews

An incredible house which made for such an amazing celebration weekend with all of the family. From the amazing bedrooms, to the snug bar, the games room, the hot tub, huge kitchen and lovely gardens, there was so much for everyone to do.

Dan, Reading

We couldn’t have had a more enjoyable experience. Horseshoe House was a dream for my 70th birthday weekend. The children were delighted with the facilities both inside and outside. The adults loved the quirky bedrooms and couldn’t believe the level of comfort together with the space and overall layout of the house and gardens. The 9 person hot tub was a great success. Overall highly recommend and would definitely repeat.

Andrew, Horsham

We had a fabulous weekend at Horseshoe House. We were a multi generational family and there was no shortage of things to do at the house both inside and outside. The house itself was well equipped with lovely spaces where we could all enjoy each other's company...All in all it couldn’t have been better, the hot tub was a particular favourite.
