RecommendedGeorgian country house hotel near Bath with year-round swimming

Homewood Hotel & Spa

Bath, Somerset

A playful Georgian house in the valley below Bath, with free cots, interconnecting rooms and a pool you can swim in whatever the weather. Kids' menus done well mean dinner isn't a battle. Take the train one stop into Bath, or follow the canal towpath to Avoncliff for a waterside lunch.

Days out nearby

  • Longleat ↗

    ~14 miles · ~15 mins

    Safari park · nearby attraction

    Driving through the lion reserve with monkeys clambering over the car is a childhood memory in the making. Beyond the safari there is a hedge maze, an adventure castle playground, boat rides and the stately house itself, enough for two full days.

  • We The Curious ↗

    ~19 miles · ~30 mins

    Science centre · rainy day option

    Bristol's hands-on science centre with hundreds of interactive exhibits and a 3D planetarium. Great on a wet day during a Bristol or Bath weekend.

  • SS Great Britain ↗

    ~19 miles · ~30 mins

    Castle / historic · nearby attraction

    Brunel's iron ship sits in a dry dock with a glass 'sea' you can walk beneath, and children can climb the rigging, explore cabins and smell the galley. Immersive history right on Bristol's harbourside.

  • Wookey Hole Caves ↗

    ~22 miles · ~30 mins

    Adventure park · ideal day trip

    Underground caves with a witch legend, plus a dinosaur valley, adventure golf, a circus show and a Victorian penny arcade. A full day of variety, close to Bath and Wells.

  • Bristol Zoo Project ↗

    ~24 miles · ~30 mins

    Zoo · ideal day trip

    Bristol's zoo moved to open woodland on the city's edge, so animals such as gorillas, okapi and red river hogs have far more room. Children get woodland trails and big play spaces, and it fits easily into a Bristol or Bath weekend.

  • Cheddar Gorge & Caves ↗

    ~26 miles · ~45 mins

    Nature / outdoors · ideal day trip

    Explore show caves with dramatic stalactites, climb the 274-step lookout and walk along the gorge's cliff top. A good mix of adventure and geology, near Wells and the Mendips.

  • Techniquest ↗

    ~46 miles · ~1 hr

    Science centre · rainy day option

    A hands-on science centre on Cardiff Bay packed with interactive exhibits, a planetarium and live science shows. Children press, pull and build their way to understanding how things work. Plenty for parents too.

  • Wildlife park · ideal day trip

    Rhinos grazing on the lawn in front of a Victorian manor sums up this park's charm. A narrow-gauge railway, walk-through lemur enclosure and a big adventure playground make it a relaxed family day in the heart of the Cotswolds.
