Why Book
Bear Flat is a popular and well-loved neighbourhood perched on the high ground to the south of Bath city centre, sitting along the busy Wells Road and offering a strong sense of local community that makes it a fascinating area for visitors to explore. The neighbourhood takes its name from the flat hilltop on which it sits, and its elevated position affords pleasant views across the southern parts of the city.
At its heart is a thriving parade of independent shops, cafés, bakeries, and restaurants along Bears Lane and the surrounding streets, giving Bear Flat a lively and self-sufficient village atmosphere that locals are justifiably proud of. The area is well placed for visitors exploring the southern reaches of Bath, being within easy reach of the wonderful Prior Park Landscape Garden and the green open spaces of Alexandra Park, which offers some of the finest panoramic views across the entire city and is a particularly rewarding spot at sunset.
The neighbourhood also has good connections to the rest of Bath, making it a practical as well as pleasant base for those wanting to stay somewhere with a more residential and authentic feel. With its friendly independent businesses, green surroundings, and strong community character, Bear Flat offers a warm and unpretentious slice of Bath life that sits in pleasing contrast to the more formal grandeur of the city centre.
We bring everything we need service: folding table, fresh linens, oils, warm blankets, calming music. You clear a bit of floor space; we do the rest.
What our clients say
"Ally was easy to communicate with and it was lovely to have massage therapists arrive at the place we were staying and set up there. We didn't have to lift a finger and felt really relaxed afterwards. The massages are also very reasonable priced."

frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover the whole of BA1 and BA2?
Yes. All postcodes in BA1 and BA2 are within our core area with no travel fee. That includes Bath city centre, Bathwick, Widcombe, Oldfield Park, Combe Down, Weston, Larkhall, Lansdown, and some of the surrounding villages.
Can you come to an Airbnb or hotel?
Absolutely, it's one of the most common requests. We just need a room with enough floor space for the table (roughly 2m x 1m of clear floor), and somewhere nearby to park briefly for unloading.
How much notice do you need?
Usually three days for a single treatment, longer for couples or groups. Same-day bookings are sometimes possible – just get in touch.
