We live upstairs so we are available most hours to help with any problems at all. Please feel free to contact us regarding any questions. I'm a history buff, and would be pleased to share with guests some historical interest in the house, and surrounding area.

The most notable historical occupant of the house was Moses Pickwick-  Moses and his family owned the large and succesful Pickwick Coach company and White Hart Inn. 

Dickens felt that Moses didn't treat him very well!  So a young Dickens chose to make Moses the main (comical) character in his first novel -The Pickwick Papers, a parody of Bath's social scene.

Moses passed away in this house in 1869.
