I am just back from a wonderful weekend in Bath - seeing the History Boys play (the tickets were a very nice birthday present). We stayed in Longleat (can you tell I am a secret "Animal Park" fan - ahhh lovely Ben Fogle swoon, swoon) in the Gatehouse Lodge. When we booked it I thought the gate house would b
e somewhere on the edge of the Longleat Estate. I never imagined we would have the spectacular views of Longleat House that we had from our kitchen window! You can just see the house in the distance through the lodge archway. The decor inside was so crazy that I am convinced it w
as designed by Lord Bath himself (he being the great purveyor of very loud and bright waistcoats) including a snug room in the attic with billowing fabric covering the ceiling and a hallway painted in bright red, yellow and brown stripes. The Bath Arms food was delicious - our favourite being the sea salt caramel sticky toffee pudding (yum yum!) Sadly with the Safari Park closed, we didn't catch a glimpse of a single wild animal, nor of Ben Fogle! Next time

ooh, what a wonderful place to spend a weekend. I hope you had a great time, sounds like you did. I adore Bath. When we got married, husband and I spent our honeymoon just outside Bath (with our cat Dudley!), so visited the centre daily. Love the hurly burly hustle of the place, it reminds me of a very elegant London! Glad the husband drives and not me, parking was a total nightmare, I don't know how he had the nerve to even try!
