With two stunning wedding venues, our couples often require accommodation options, either for the bride and her bridesmaids to pamper themselves the night before, the distant relatives who need to stay after a long journey to the countryside, or for the wedding couple themselves on the night of the wedding!
In order to help you pick the best option for you and your guests we have put together some great local options, check them out below:
With the Hampton Hotel being in the centre of Bath and only a 7-minute walk away from Bath train station it is the perfect place for the out of town guest, who wants to explore Bath after the whirlwind wedding day.
