About our home
Welcome to our spacious, well-loved family house within walking distance of Bath city centre. There's plenty of room for the family: a large kitchen/diner, roomy lounge (with log burner) and 3 double bedrooms plus a twin kids' room (beds divided by a bookcase, so more like two separate rooms). The house is surrounded by gardens, front and back, and there is a great terrace at the back to enjoy the evening sun. The house is located in the village of Larkhall, which is friendly and picturesque and has pubs, a butchers, greengrocers and even a little theatre. You can stroll to Bath centre along the canal in 25 minutes or get a bus in 10. Alternatively, you can walk into beautiful countryside from our front door - stunning hill walks with views across the Cotswolds. If the weather's good, it's a short walk to the river to enjoy a swim (one of our favourite things to do)! For the kids, Alice Park is directly opposite the house - a fantastic park with a cafe, tennis courts and play equipment. We love it here and hope you will too!

Helena's reviews
As a host (3)“We had a fabulous time at Helena’s lovely house. The location was perfect, very close to Bath but also nice and quiet. My children loved all the toys and sports equipment in the garden. We would definitely swap again in the future. Thanks Helena and family x”
“Thanks Helena for hosting us for 5 days in your child-friendly home in Bath! Our kids loved the secret passage way and it was so handy to the lovely park across the road. The sites and sounds of Bath were only a bus ride away. We have great memories because of your hospitality. Your home was some comfortable and had everything we needed. Thanks again”

Where is it?
Neighbourhood
Bath is a great place to visit at any time of the year: attractions include the Roman Baths, the Royal Crescent, the Holburne Museum, Bath Abbey and the Jane Austen centre. Larkhall is an area of Bath which is really more of a village - a safe and friendly area which has the benefit of being on the doorstep of lovely countryside as well as very close to the city.
