Hotel Information
Built at the turn of the century, The County was originally 2 separate houses. After being turned into a guest house in the 1940s it became home away from home for his imperial highness, Halie Salassie, in his exile from Abysinnia.
The County overlooks the county cricket ground which also doubles as Bath?s rugby ground in season. These both lie on the recreation ground which was a gift to the people of Bath from a wealthy landowner. It remains a greenbelt in the heart of the city.
