Downside School Plunkett Bunkhouse, Stratton on the Fosse, Bath, Somerset

The Downside School Plunkett Bunkhouse was previously used as a school building and has been refurbished to accommodate visiting groups to the area or those who wish to rent group accommodation. Larger groups can take the whole, or for smaller groups it is possible to hire half the bunkhouse (School or Abbey Road side), at lower rates.

Surrounded by the glorious Somerset countryside, close to Downside Abbey and the School, this bunkhouse is in easy reach of Bath, Wells and the Mendip Hills.

The bunkhouse has been tastefully renovated with twin, triple and rooms with a mix of single beds and bunks and has separate "leader" accommodation. There are also study rooms, sitting rooms and a TV area within the main communal self-catering kitchen. All bathroom facilities are shared. The bunkhouse is available as a whole, or you are welcome to rent one side of the house or another. This is also perfect for groups who wish to separate younger/older children or by gender.

It is always a pleasure to welcome school groups, church groups, touring sports sides and those who just want a rest and recharge week away to enjoy the delightful countryside in Somerset. Local activities such as caving, climbing, diving, golf, sailing, and walking all take place within a few miles of the bunkhouse.

Catering by special arrangement. All bedding provided, guests should bring towels.

We can also help with facility hire at Downside School alongside your stay. Other facilities for hire include: basketball courts, cricket pitches, football pitches, hockey astro, netball courts, rugby pitches, sports hall, swimming pool, tennis courts, and a 400 seat theatre. Meeting rooms are also available. Please contact us at Downside School for more information.
