Hunstrete House
Nr. Bath, (BS39 4NS)



The wooded countryside that surrounds the Hunstrete parkland has created a wonderful sanctuary for an impressive variety of wildlife. Indeed, all 25 ensuite bedrooms are named after birds found here. Located only seven miles south of Bath en route to the cathedral city of Wells and the historic port of Bristol, Hunstrete House is a delightful refuge: "There is something quintessentially English about this delightful refuge." Andrew Harper's Hideaway Report. Hunstrete was recorded in William the Conqueror's Domesday Book and has a long lineage from King Athelstan, 963AD, to the Popham family that held it during the last four centuries. Buried ruins and a folly from an unfinished grand mansion are parts of a fascinating history. A survey of 1517 alludes to a beautiful manor in a sylvan setting rebuilt in the time of Abbot Chinnock (Glastonbury Abbott) 1375 – 1420.
