We will reopen with an extended Georgian town house museum in the summer of 2013, providing visitors with a wonderful picture of life above and below stairs in 18th century Bath. The house provides visitors to the Crescent with an opportunity to look beyond the famous Palladian façade and see what life was like for the wealthy residents of the day. Each room is an exquisite example of Georgian interior design with authentic furniture, paintings, textiles and carpets. Check the website or the Offical Bath App for details of the exhibition gallery, new shop and introduction room which are due to open earlier in the spring. Then you can pop in and see the exciting progress! « less

I was disappointed that I didn´t know in prior that this house was closed. There was no information when it will be opened again.

No. 1 Royal Crescent will be re-opening to the public on Friday 21st June. We are sorry that when this reviewer visited they didn't find the information about when we will be re-opening. We had to take down our large sign saying 'Opening on Friday 21st June' due to high winds, but it will be going back up again shortly. More

Looks very interesting, would certainly come back to Bath to visit no 1. The whole place looks like something from an episode of upstairs/downstairs.

Ilove all things Jane Austin. I went into the house with my daughter, husband and friend just weren't interested. I did find out a few interesting things like why there were always two doors in the living room. Much as I liked my tour I did find it a bit impersonal, couldn't go into the bedrooms as they were cordoned... More

Unfortunately closed due to refurbishment, however there are two rooms open still, to tempt you to come back. The ladies that work there are so enthusiastic and full of information and even though we didn't get to see in the house itself, it was worthwhile for 30 minutes. I will go back when it is re-opened.

Undergoing works at present however displays explaining what was currently going on were very informative. Staff really enthusiastic and helpful. We were treated to a sneak viewing of the kitchen in the basement which is being restored - so exciting! We will be back march 2014 to view the newly opened rooms. this is a must for all coming up...

I was very disappointed that this was closed for remodeling during our visit to Bath. This was one of the main things that I wanted to see. The Crescent is spectacular!

No1 is under major refurb work and the main building is currently closed, so disappointed! Not sure if this is posted on any websites I did not check, but if your planning on visiting I would check completion dates first. Hope to get back to Bath again one day, so I will definitely try and re-visit.
