The Carfax

Type: Guest House

The Carfax is situated to provide a favourable balance between the city's bustle and its tranquil retreats. Directly behind the guest house is the cultivated greenery of Henrietta Park, an ideal place to relax away from the centre. Most of Bath city and heritage attractions are only a few minutes' walk from The Carfax's front entrance.

The Carfax comprises a delightful trio of houses in an impressive Georgian terrace. All public rooms have been recently refurbished to a high standard. Many of the bedrooms have wonderful views looking up to the hills and terraces of Bath.
