An hour and a half train ride from London will bring you to Bath, where many locals flock to on the weekend for a relaxing escape.
Bath is a fairly small town which you can easily explore on foot. Roseate Villa Bath is located a scenic ten-minute walk from the city centre, through the iconic Pulteney Bridge. The villa overlooks the seven-acre Henrietta Park and has its own private garden. Mornings at the Roseate Villa begin with a peaceful view of the garden, or perhaps a stroll around it, if the weather permits. This neigbourhood is quieter than the city centre, an ideal setting for a prolonged breakfast or an afternoon tea break. Consistently voted as the traveller’s choice on TripAdvisor, Roseate Villa is an ideal weekend stay in Bath.

The Vibe & Shared Spaces
The property encompasses two Victorian houses, converted into a boutique hotel. The structure has a historic character, noticeable from a distance. Separate from the main road by a brick fence, the Villa is surrounded by a tranquil private garden. A portion of the garden is used as the restaurant terrace during warmer months, while the more secluded area has loungers and sitting areas guests can take advantage of.
Immediately to the right of the front desk is The Henrietta Bar & Restaurant. Here, guests can enjoy a slow breakfast, afternoon tea, and dinner. The restaurant is a destination, so this room fills with locals and tourists alike.
Roseate Villa Bath is dog-friendly.
Bar & Restaurant
The Henrietta Bar & Restaurant is split into two spaces, the bar and lounge and the main dining area. The hotel kitchen uses 95% fresh local produce, leaning on the SLOW philosophy: seasonal, local, organic, wholesome foods, keeping their carbon footprint to a minimum.
For breakfast, guests can opt for a continental breakfast or choose items from the kitchen menu. The continental breakfast includes hot and cold beverages, yoghurt, fruits, cereal, and freshly baked pastries. The kitchen menu is a selection of larger breakfast items like the Full English Breakfast, Eggs Benedict, and Avocado Toast, among other items. Kitchen sweets are decadent pancakes, which we strongly recommend trying. No vacation is complete without a mimosa, and Roseate’s version is the Buck’s Fizz.
Afternoon tea is served in the main dining room and on the terrace in the summer months. Available Monday through Sunday, this is a quintessential English tradition brought to life in a historic space. Henrietta Restaurant & Bar offers one of the best afternoon tea experiences in the area.
In the evenings, patrons gather at Henrietta to get a taste of modern European cuisine. The starter menu includes terrines, prawns, pickled and otherwise prepared vegetable dishes, and a seasonal salad. The mains range from seafood to steak and naturally includes an English pie. For dessert, there are baked treats and cheese options.
Inside the Suite
The villa has 21 rooms and suites, each with a slightly different or completely unique decor. Each luxurious room is a combination of vintage decor charm with sophisticated modern finishes. In the room, guests will find flat screen TVs, Hypnos beds, goose down duvets and Egyptian cotton linen, robes and yoga mats tucked away in the closet. Water, coffee, tea, and biscuits are ready for guests in the cabinet above the fridge cabinet.
Luxury Junior and The Hideaway suites have large luxurious bathrooms with chic bathtubs, separate showers, heated floors, and a double vanity. The rest of the rooms have comfortable modern showers with the same luxurious finishes and bath supplies.
The comfortable rooms with friendly decor begin to quickly feel like home. It is tempting to spend the morning with a cup of tea, looking out into the garden or cosy up on a chair with a good book.
