Wheelwrights Arms

Wheelwright Arms' several buildings blend right in to the quaint village of Monkton Combe, with their shingled roofs and stone exteriors creeping with vines. The rustic country theme continues inside, with exposed timber and stone walls, wood furniture, and paintings and statuettes of farm animals. The inn is primarily known for its charming English pub, which is frequented by both locals and inn guests. The pub and outdoor garden seating make up the main common areas for guests. There's a true inn-like feel here -- there's really no lounge, and the property's seven guest rooms are situated in an annex near the pub. The inn is popular among couples, many of whom want to get away from the city and enjoy a quiet spot with good food and drinks close by.

The Wheelwrights Arms sits in the quaint village of Monkton Combe, about a 10-minute drive from the center of Bath. Many outdoor adventures are in driving, walking, or biking distance from the inn, including the Two Tunnels Greenway, which is popular among bikers. It's a five-minute drive to the University of Bath, a nine-minute drive to Prior Park Landscape Garden, and a 15-minute drive to The Roman Baths. Stonehenge and Bristol International Airport can both be reached in about 45 minutes, and London is a two- to three-hour drive, depending on traffic. Outdoor parking is free and easy at the inn.

Wheelwright Arms' seven guest rooms are situated in an annex adjacent to its pub. Room configurations include one single and one twin room, plus rooms with double and king-size beds. Some rooms are located on the basement level and don't have much light. Room decor varies, but there's a general relaxed country-theme with wood floors, white walls, and wood furniture. Some rooms feature paneled ceilings with exposed wood-beam accents. Some doors, painted in fresh white, feature the classic barn door cross-brace. Rooms have standard amenities like tea and coffee service, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi, and extra beds or cots can be provided. But there are also more personal touches, such as little jars of candies. A homemade cake is placed on a table in the hall near the rooms for guests to help themselves. Bathrooms are contemporary, often with wood floors and white paneled ceilings. Some include shower stalls, while others include baths with shower wands. Bathrooms are stocked with individual L'Occitane toiletries and hairdryers. 

Other than some outdoor seating areas, the main amenity and common space in the inn is the classic English country pub, which is popular with both guests of the inn and locals. The pub serves breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks, and light snacks from small menus. Breakfast is included in the room rate and features standard continental options plus cooked-to-order menu items. Staff can recommend nearby activities like cycling, fishing, shooting, and riding. Wi-Fi is free throughout the property.
