Built at the turn of the century, The County was originally two separate houses. After being turned into a Guest House in the 1940’s it became home away from home for his imperial highness Halie Salassie in his exile from Abysinnia.

The County overlooks the county cricket ground which also doubles as bath’s rugby ground in season, these both lie on the recreation ground which was a gift to the people of bath from a wealthy land owner, it remains a green belt in the heart of the City.

The County was taken over in 2000 as a family business and quickly went on to scoop the AA's guest accommodation of the year award for the whole of England. The County is situated in the stunning Georgian city surrounded by beautiful countryside, museums and attractions including the famous roman baths and its vibrant retail and restaurant scene.
