The Kennard, Bath

The Kennard sits on an elegant, curving Georgian terrace that forms part of Henrietta Street.

Some of Bath's most famous landmarks, such as Pulteney Bridge and Henrietta Park, are within a five-minute walk.
By car: around 45 minutes from Bristol, 2 hours 30 minutes from London and 3 hours 30 minutes from Manchester.
By train: there are direct services to Bath Spa from Bristol Temple Meads (11 minutes), Cardiff Central (1 hour 5 minutes) and London Paddington (1 hour 15 minutes). The hotel is around a 10-minute walk from Bath Spa station. thetrainline.com

The Kennard is perfect for anyone intent on immersing themselves in Bath's Georgian era; the B&B is very popular with Americans. We love the pretty recreation of a Georgian garden, complete with box and topiaried hedges, at the rear of the property.

Parking permits are included in the rates - a really big perk in Bath as the public car parks are expensive.
