This space includes two double bedrooms in the modern West Wing, a large farmhouse kitchen, a reception room across the entire length of the old Elizabethan section of the house and a big farmhouse kitchen. Outside there is a hot tub (optional extra) and fire pit on the river side terrace, as well as extensive lawns and terraced gardens. Both bedrooms can be arranged as a twin or super-king double. There is also a sofa bed in one bedroom and room for a portable or cot, if required. This historic estate in the hamlet of Friary is 5 miles south of Bath, in the South Cotswolds. It was once the site of a Carthusian Monastery (hence the name 'Friary') and is scheduled by Historic England as an Ancient Monument. The main section of River House is Elizabethan and built party from monastic stone, with huge fireplaces and extensive wooden beams. The sleeping accommodation, in the West Wing, is in the modern section which was built in the late 20th century. This private and peaceful riverside location is only accessible by a no-through road, yet it is just outside the UNESCO World Heritage City of Bath and also near to the thriving market towns of Frome and Bradford on Avon. It presents an unusually secluded and rural setting within a short distance of all that the Spa city of Bath has to offer day and night as well as enchanting riverside walks to the pub. Longleat Safari Park, the Cathedral City of Wells, Cheddar Gorge and many National Trust properties such as Stourhead and Lacock are also within easy range for day visits.
