The Kennard

The Kennard puts you on a quiet Georgian street within a level walk of Bath city centre.

The Kennard is a boutique guest house in Bath, set in a Georgian townhouse at 11 Henrietta Street. The stay has a small, period-building feel rather than a large-hotel setup, with individually styled rooms and details tied to the house’s Georgian character.

Rooms vary by category, so the choice matters. Superior double rooms have high ceilings, sit in the former reception rooms of the townhouse, and look onto Henrietta Street. The twin room looks over the garden through a large sash window, while the single rooms sit at the front of the building and include a wide single bed, a wash basin in the room, bathrobe and slippers, and shared shower and toilet facilities one flight up or down.

Breakfast is part of how the stay works here. Guests have a cold buffet, and hot breakfast is cooked to order in the building. The Kennard also has daily housekeeping, free wireless internet, linen and towels, hairdryers, heating, and tea and coffee facilities in the rooms.

The guest house has a Georgian-style garden that guests can use when the weather allows. There is also luggage storage before check-in and after check-out, which helps if you arrive in Bath before your room is ready or want time in the city after leaving the room.

The main limit is access between floors: The Kennard is a Grade I listed building with rooms over five floors, and there is no lift. Staff can help with luggage, but the building layout still means stairs are part of the stay.
