    This little street near the Baths and Bath Abbey, besides being quite picturesque, holds three cute little places to eat--Demuth's (vegetarian), Sally Lunn's (famous for Lunn Buns), and Tilley's Bistro (see my restaurant tips). All three looked good, but Tilley's was heavenly!

    First I must confess I didn't go in Sally Lunn's -- dating back to 1482 it's the oldest house in the city and is now a museum and, being home to the Sally Lun Bun, it's also a refreshment room.

    Full details on the below website

    Sally Lunn's House: Oldest House in Bath

    Sally Lunn was a young French refugee who arrived in England in over 300 years ago. She began to bake a round bread which is now known as the Sally Lunn Bun. The Bun became a very popular delicacy in Georgian England.

    Sally Lunn's house has been in Bath ever since 1482 making it the oldest house in Bath.

    From morning coffee to light meals and cream teas to a candlelit dinner, you'll have a reason to visit Sally Lunn's house. If not for the food, then visit the museum in the cellars, where you can see the Roman and Medieval foundations of the house and finds from recent excavations.

    See the original kitchen with its faggot oven, Georgian range and old baking utensils.

    Open 7 days a week from 10am (11 am on Sunday)

    Info taken from a leaflet I got from the place, which surprisingly I still have after 4 years of moving houses, towns, states, and countries.

    Sally Lunn's is housed in the oldest house in Bath. Come here to taste her famous buns, which can be served as a sweet or savoury dish, and you can come just for afternoon tea or a full meal. It's a very busy place, but table turnover is fast, so there shouldn't be a long wait.

    In the 17th century, a french immigrant came to Bath and opened a restaurant. From France, she brought a recipe with her: A brioche-style bread which was later known as the Sally Lunn bun.

    Today, her restaurant still exists and the Sally Lunn bun became famous. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, but many visitors (like me) just visit the “museum” in the basement.

    The “museum” is rather small and, in my opinion, nice but not exciting. You can see the kitchen where Sally Lunn used to work, together with some old kitchen utensils. Excavations in this house also brought earlier kitchens from medieval times and even roman times to the light. In the basement, you will also find the shop, where you can buy a couple of Sally Lunn products, including the famous bun. There is a small entry fee (30 p as far as I can remember), but the friendly lady at the shop told me that I don’t need to pay it.

    The Sally Lunn house is also the oldest private house in Bath, being built in 1482.
