“Georgian townhouse living in central Bath at this relaxed and friendly hotel. Hear the Abbey bells chime from the comfort of your bed and minutes from most of the city’s sites. Good breakfasts and rooms to suit all budgets, this comfortable and extremely well-located hotel feels like home from home”

Hotel review

Eight couldn’t be more central, when it comes to Bath accommodation. The hotel comprises of two historic townhouses, around the corner from Bath Abbey, with the main house located next door to Sally Lunn’s historic tea-room, said to be one of the oldest houses in Bath. Eight bedrooms are contained within this building and an additional 12 are in a grand building situated on the neighbouring Abbey Green, a pretty cobbled square. The bedrooms are all different and vary in size, from spacious high-ceilinged rooms with free-standing baths and original fireplaces to smaller, equally comfortable, bedrooms at the top of the house. Bathrooms have patterned tiles and products from The White Company. The decoration is fresh and light in a neutral palette which contrasts with the brightly coloured velvet armchairs and cushions. The reception closes late in the afternoon, so guests can come and go as they please, creating a feeling of staying in a Bath home. There’s also a well-stocked honesty bar and, while there’s no longer a restaurant here, there are plenty to choose from within a few minutes’ walk. Breakfast, served on pretty willow pattern plates, is a traditional affair with a cooked menu and continental options.

See what they say

Why do people love staying in your hotel? Eight offers a unique guest focused experience right in the heart of old town Bath – an unmatchable location! Look out at the almost 300 year old London Plane tree from your room and hear the bells of Bath Abbey chime in a postcard like setting!

What is there to do in the area? Bath is a World Heritage site for a very good reason. Every twist and turn reveals more beautiful views and unexpected glimpses into Bath’s historic past. Eight is steps away from the Roman Baths, the Bath Abbey, Thermae Spa and the Pump Room. We are a five minute walk to the Bath rugby grounds and with the National Trust’s Prior Park to explore and beautiful countryside in every direction, Bath’s got something for every mood.

What kind of breakfast do you offer? Our breakfast is very popular amongst our guests. We offer a continental buffet and a hot A la carte breakfast to order with a selection of specialised tea and coffee options. Enjoy a hearty start to your day in our beautiful breakfast rooms looking out on to the Bath sandstone buildings. We will be delighted to cater for any dietary preferences or restrictions and would appreciate if known in advance.

Do you offer other meals? And can you recommend good places to eat out locally? Eight no longer hosts a restaurant. We regularly recommend some of our local favourite independent restaurants to our guest.

Which are your most popular room types, and why? Whatever your reasons for visiting Bath, our selection of rooms makes it possible to reserve one that is most suitable. From rooms overlooking the Abbey Quarter to the very instagrammable North Parade Passage, all our twenty rooms have preserved the original Georgian townhouse features while offering luxurious comforts. Our popular larger rooms have free standing baths in the rooms.

What facilities do you have for children and can you fit extra beds in your rooms? Eight welcomes children 8 years and older. Our large family room and triple room can accommodate families.
