About The Hilltop Hideaway
Most places make you choose between a quiet country escape and a big night in with friends. The Hilltop Hideaway does both. Claire and Jimmy’s beautiful country house sits on the edge of Bath in Somerset, with sweeping views across the valley and wild deer in the fields below. As a dog-friendly house near Bath, it’s a real find, because however many of you book, the space you choose is yours alone, so your dog can settle in without any neighbours to worry about.
It’s made up of three linked spaces. The Cottage can be booked for anything from two to eight guests, with one double and three king-size bedrooms, a bright, fully equipped kitchen, a big living room with a woodburner and an indoor honesty bar with karaoke. Add the Annexe and you’ll sleep 10, with another king-size bedroom, a vast sitting room, an outdoor deck and a ping pong room. Add the House and you’re up to 18, with four more double bedrooms, a second kitchen, a sunny terrace and a large sitting room.
Outside is where it really comes into its own. There’s a hot tub, a cold tub, a fire pit, a pizza oven, a barbecue and an outdoor bar for sundowners as the sun drops behind the hills. The patio slopes gently into the lawn, with boules and croquet for the competitive and sun loungers for everyone else, and there’s a small walled garden too.
Your dog is very welcome here. There’s room to explore around the gardens, a woodburner to flop beside after a walk, and countryside right on your doorstep. Do mention your dog when you book.
When you’re ready to head out, central Bath is about 2.2 miles away, and the National Trust’s Bath Skyline Walk makes a brilliant outing for you both. Longleat and the Frome Independent Market are within reach, and Claire can arrange extras too, from private chefs to yoga, massage and mixology, for a stay that feels properly special.
