What Happened to Tasburgh House Hotel After The Hotel Inspector?

Part 1 — Season 2, Episode 6 Aired August 10, 2006

Tasburgh House Hotel is a red-brick Victorian house on Warminster Road in Bath (BA2 6SH), built in 1891 as a family home for the photographer John Berryman, according to Wikipedia's article on the hotel (read 2026-10-19). Wikipedia reports it was converted from flats to a hotel around 1969, that one owner ran it from 1996 to 2019, adding three guest bedrooms and rear terracing, and that it won a World Hotel Award for best UK luxury guest house in 2015.

The Hotel Inspector visited in series 2, in an episode aired 2006-08-10. Wikipedia's list of The Hotel Inspector episodes describes an award-winning B&B with few guests, held back by cramped rooms, poor bathrooms and a high nightly rate. Ruth Watson returned for a follow-up episode in series 3, which the list dates to 8 November 2007.

Since then, Wikipedia's article reports the hotel was sold in 2019 to a new operator that ran it as a 15-bedroom boutique hotel with a residents-only bar, that it closed permanently in 2020, and that the building is now a private house. A Google Maps listing for Tasburgh House Hotel, checked 2026-10-19, is marked permanently closed. The hotel's old website, tasburghhouse.co.uk, still loaded on that date and showed a history page rather than booking tools.
