Welcome to RIVER HOUSE, near Bath:
This special location on the outskirts of Bath in the South Cotswolds was once the site of a Carthusian Monastery and is scheduled by Historic England.
A private location, accessed only by a no-through road, River House is within 10 minutes of Bath and close to Frome and Bradford on Avon.

BEDROOMS can be arranged as super-king doubles or twins rooms, according to your preference and most are en suite with sitting areas, TVs and desks.
River House sleeps 10 - 12 and the Coach House sleeps 2 - 5. The properties can be rented together, or separately.
Please check, before booking a group of 12 or more that both properties are available together on your chosen dates.

River House Bath and The Coach House comprise over 5,000 square feet of accommodation with 2 spacious kitchens and large living rooms. The conservatory dining room and a double-length traditional living room with log-burning fires at each end are perfect for larger and mixed-age groups.
Please note that there are some restrictions on outside lighting and noise, due to our location in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

FEATURES
We offer our guests a year-round serviced Hot Tub, summer-time heated Swimming Pool and BBQ Terrace and riverside Sun Deck with sun-loungers, plus Garden Games and a Fire Pit for star-gazing at night.
Wifi/Internet are available throughout with SuperFast Broadband (FTTP) due to our own dedicated optic fibre connection.
Private fishing is available in season.

LOCALITY
A scenic railway station in the local village, Freshford, takes you to Bath Spa station in under 10 minutes. There is also an excellent village pub, village cafe and farm shop and medieval castle all within walking distance.
Local supermarkets deliver and local minibus/taxis are available. There are also several very well-stocked local farm shops.

CARETAKER, CHEF AND HOUSEKEEPER
The Caretaker and Housekeeper are available to help guests at any time. Our Caretaker is also a qualified Chef available to cater for your celebration or group. Please ask for our 'Friary Tuck' menu if you would like to eat at home in River House.

CELEBRATIONS and WEDDINGS
We welcome small daytime celebrations and private events, including weddings. Celebrant service referrals, in-house catering and a beautiful green & white striped marquee are available to make your wedding arrangements simple and elegant.
Please note that whilst hand-held instrumentation is welcome, amplified music is not allowed and a function fee is payable for all events. Private contractors are allowed by agreement with the owners.

TEAM-BUILDING
We have a traditional rural skills centre on site which specialises in developing team building through learning to work to together creatively and all-inclusively - rather than using the conventional method of competitive sports.
Traditional agricultural skills, such as dry stone walling, iron work, scything - plus other ancient pastimes including willow weaving and bee-keeping - are popular and effective new pathways for corporate team-building.
We also host film crews, catered vegan retreats and writers' workshops.
