Poppy's Pad (Bath)

PLEASE NOTE: that we will be charging a higher rate for anything less than 5 nights ….this is due to the work load and cost of living increase ….it’s not worth our while financially for short stays if we do not charge more….:Poppy's Pad is a lovely contemporary family home that is warm, relaxed and friendly. WE DO NOT TAKE PETS this is because we have 2 dogs
of our own.
Please can guests let us know their ETA at least 24 hrs before their stay as we cannot guarantee we will be in, thank you.
The house is located in a peaceful residential part of Bath. We do not have any shops on the doorstep so advise to bring provisions for your first night. Many ways to get a takeaway delivered and there is Uber eats etc.

Parking is plenty and free.

The walk to the theatre is easy and pleasent.

All family passionate about theatre.

Just make yourself at home. Poppy has two dogs (cockapoos).

We are non-smokers but will allow smoking outside the house under no circumstances will we allow smoking in the house. Happy for guests to do a machine wash but please provide your own washing liquid/powder.

Distance from theatre 1.4 miles
20 min walk please be aware there is a fairly steep hill so good exercise but benefit is the free car parking.
5 mins by car....Bath is in a bowl so there are not many digs in town.

3 x double

PLEASE NOTE: The deposit is paid to Theatre Dig Booker, they take 10% of the money,this does not come to the hosts.

We have decided that anything less than 5 nights is not cost effective in the present climate, however we will consider a shorter stay but the nightly rate will be higher so please ask.

Walk down the hill very easy but the walk back up less so!

One of the finest digs in the country!

Honestly couldn't have been made more welcome or comfortable. Nice size room.

The location is very peaceful, don't let the hill put you off it's a good work out or a taxi really isn't going to break the bank.

Looking forward to staying again.

Poppy's place was brilliant :) lovely home, lovely family, and a lovely area!

Me and my friend stayed there, lovely big room each, and we could leave our cars parked safe the whole week and then walk into the town which was 15 minutes and easy to find the theatre!

Poppy's husband kindly showe... read more d us round in his car the first day, we did get a taxi back after our shows though because it was 40 minutes walk up hill! If you're a fan of exercise then that's ideal!

The cost was so reasonable and Bath is lovely, so we had a great week!

Thank you Poppy!

I would recommend their place for anyone who is looking for a lovely welcoming home stay in Bath.

Excellent digs!!

A lovely, clean home, with very friendly, welcoming hosts.
I'm not usually comfortable with dogs but absolutely fell in love with the two dogs here!

The walk to the theatre is about 20-30 mins down a steep hill, but It's quite refreshing on a nice day and a taxi is only £5.... read more

Would definitely stay again!

I had a fantastic experience at Poppy's Pad. They were lovely, welcoming and accommodating hosts. I stayed for two weeks with three other people from my cast and we all had a great time.

The house is beautiful, the bed was comfortable and the shower was great!

The house is on a steep hill but it is walkable and taxi journeys are only £6/£7 from the Theatre Royal. Plus they kindly gave us several lifts into town.

Would highly recommend these digs!

I had a really comfortable stay at Poppy's. The house is spacious and clean and I even took advantage of breakfast on the outside terrace.

The hill is most definitely steep but not a long walk to and from the theatre (about20/30 minutes) and even late at night it feels really safe.

An easy walk into work and a £5 taxi back up the crazily steep hill make it a great stay:)

Fantastic theatre digs from people who know & understand the business.

Would certainly stay again, even without transport as it's easy enough to take a twenty five minute walk or less & they were kind enough to offer lifts occasionally.

Poppy and family are hugely welcoming but also sensitive to those who need privacy.
A lovely, clean home where you feel genuinely welcome to use all the facilities freely.

Location itself is lovely but a bit isolated (few local amenities) and it it is a fairly steep 20 minute up hill walk back from the theatre which may not suit everyone - but it is a beautiful walk and feels very safe so certainly not a problem for those who enjoy a bit of fresh air and exercise at the end of the day.
I'd certainly prefer to walk 20 minutes to a home I feel welcome in rather than stay somewhere closer and less friendly.
I wouldn't think twice about recommending this place and would certainly book to go back myself.
