Seriously Quirky Hotel Near Bath
My upbringing in the Far East is the influence behind the eclectic East meets West style of THE HOUSE. I chose the name for a reason too as I tend to think of everyone who comes here, whether to eat or to stay, as my house guests. No one is bound by times or rules on the whole. So if you prefer something more formal and less personal then I am afraid you won’t find it here.
II’m not going to get it right all the time and I know I can’t inflict my tastes on everyone but I do want people to leave here with a good feeling. If there is even just one thing you liked, whether it be our quirky décor, our relaxed service or our Meditteranean menu, I would feel I have achieved something at least.
