The New School Rooms is situated in the picturesque village of Box and is within easy reach of the World Heritage city of Bath, 6 miles away. This spacious apartment is positioned on the ground floor of a beautiful Georgian family residence, providing accommodation for up to 12 guests, and includes exclusive use of the heated swimming pool and premium hot tub: the perfect hub for families and groups looking to relax by the pool or explore the endless list of local attractions.
About this space
Upon entering you will be greeted by a recently refurbished, fully equipped kitchen, complete with marble flooring, a large 5 burner range cooker, dishwasher and washing machine. To the left of the kitchen is a very generous open-plan lounge and dining room measuring 4 x 10 metres: an impressive, flexible space that boasts plenty of traditional features. There are three comfy sofas, which are also sofa beds, a large dining table, a flat screen television, a sound system, a pool table, a blackboard and board games.
Sleeping arrangements
There are 3 bedrooms and 3 sofa beds, sleeping up to 12 guests: 1 twin room with en suite, 2 double rooms with en suite, and 3 double sofa beds in the main living area.
Pool, hot tub and outside space
The private heated swimming pool, premium hot tub and Mediterranean style terrace create a social haven with something for everyone to enjoy. These facilities are located 20 metres across the courtyard from the apartment and are for your exclusive and private use during your stay.
There is also an alfresco dining area at the front of the property, a perfect spot for afternoon tea or a barbecue. A barbecue and gas can be supplied on request.
The swimming pool is open from April to November and the hot tub is open all year round. The outdoor areas close at 9pm. Out of respect for our neighbours we ask that you refrain from playing music outside; speakers are provided inside which can be used until midnight, after which we ask that noise is kept to a minimum.

A lovely, spacious abode with great facilities including a pool table, outdoor heated pool and the highlight – a large hot tub!
The bedrooms are lovely and the living room is enormous and grandiose.
We had a wonderful time relaxing in the hot tub and although the pool was a tad on the cool side, our boys loved it.
Box is a lovely village and really close to lots of beautiful and interesting places including Bath and Bradford on Avon.
I recommend a stay at Eleanor’s place.

Fantastic space, and great host. The pool and hottub are a great touch. Location is ideal for a country get away but still close enough for visits in Bath City

We had a lovely stay in Box. The house itself is excellent. Nice and spacious. We loved the pool, the jacuzzi and outside space. The pool was surprisingly warm for a UK break. There’s also a BBQ available should you want to use it, which is a nice touch.
The nearby area is quiet and peaceful – lots of good walks and enough pubs and cafes nearby to keep you entertained.
The only thing to note is if you’re making use of the sofa beds, there isn’t a shared bathroom – just the en-suites. So if you need to use the facilities in the night… you have to try not disturb whoever is sleeping in the en suite rooms. Apart from that, it’s perfect!
