The Experience

A gorgeous wooden cabin with a babbling brook at the bottom of the garden. Up a private track and surrounded by fields and woodland, this is an enchanting rural escape where you can pick apples from the orchard and get the wood-burner blazing with logs from the garden. Inside you’ll find sheepskins, reclaimed floorboards, floral sofas and an artist’s easel if you are inspired.

A kitchen is equipped with all the essentials and some treats; you can eat in the open-plan living space or out on the veranda. Sleep peacefully in a cosy bedroom with a super-king cabin bed, and there’s a day bed and a cot for children. In the garden willow, hazel, ash and field maple give shade, while spring bulbs and wildflowers burst with colour and scent; here wooden benches are scattered with colourful cushions and you can immerse yourself in birdsong and peace.

Walks along the river are sublime, or head deep into the valley to find St Catherine’s Court.

Reviews

Richard, Oxford

Lovely building in a lovely setting, and so close to Bath.


Stuart, London

A beautiful and peaceful setting that is very private offering the perfect location to relax with family and friends.


Sarah, London

Such a special place- beautiful, calm and restful inside and out. Located in a very attractive area close to Bath. It is well and thoughtfully equipped for the perfect relaxing stay. Just what we needed!


Laura, Cambridge

The Tea Pavillion is a truly enchanting place - it feels a million miles from the hustle and stress of normal life and everything is designed to make your time there perfectly relaxing. From the gorgeous tea (naturally!) and cake provided by Rowan, to the beautiful bed linens and indulgent bathroom - all striking the perfect balance between luxury and back-to-nature rustic. We can’t wait to go back!


Judy Ann "Chili", London

A haven for relaxation. Green all around you, birdsong. fresh air and a running stream in front of the pavilion make a very private, healing, intimate retreat. I want to return again and again.


Location

The neighbourhood

It's a delightful spot. From the house you can walk to St Catherine's Court where Lady Jane Seymour lived and see the chapel. Heading the other way you can find the Gather Café at Northend, keep going and you can get all they way along the river to the Holburne Museum and Bath's Sydney Gardens – hop in a river taxi to get home! It's 20 minutes to Castle Combe, a bit further to Westonbirt.

Local points of interest from Rowan Suenson-Luke

  • Stroll along the lane into the village to fill a basket with produce from the Rich's market garden farm shop in pretty Northend or meander into the secluded valley to view the Tudor estate of St Catherine's Court, tithe barn and chapel.
  • For the authentic Bath experience take a few hours at the Thermae Spa to immerse in the healing waters and spend an evening star gazing from the warm roof top pool.
  • Explore the footpaths that lace the valley; the Limestone Link brushes the doorstep and if you'd like a watering hole along the way, follow the brook, the river, and the canal into Bath, stop at Gather organic cafe,The Bathhampton Mill or Cafe on The Barge
  • For a lazy mooch around Bath's cool shops and markets try Walcot, Green Park or Broad Street for unique independents, start with a delicious Boston Tea Party breakfast, pop in to indulge in specialist coffee shop Society or recharge with juice from Cascara
  • For some hearty days out Dyrham Park, The Holbourne Museum, The American Museum, The Jane Austen Centre, The Fashion Museum are all a short drive away and Westonbirt and Longleat only a little further,
  • There's no need to go anywhere at all; if you'd like to wind down, this is the most pleasant bolt hole to burrow down and chill in!

Introducing

Rowan Suenson-Luke

Rowan and Mickey live in the main house but you can't see them and they can't see you. They moved here many years ago with their three children and have an orchard, vegetable garden and chickens. The history of the tea pavilion is fascinating so do ask them about it.
