The Team
We’re a small, dedicated team – consisting of eight employees.
Susan Keeling – Proprietor
After spending five years as an American-based Air Stewardess for Pan Am Airlines, Sue Keeling’s love for travel and people became apparent. So after settling in the UK and raising four children, her next life goal was to own a hotel/guesthouse.
Sue bought and took over the Tasburgh House in 1996, shortly after returning from living in Australia with her family. She revived the tired and dated bed and breakfast into the stunning five-star boutique guesthouse that stands today. The gardens were totally re-landscaped with beautiful terracing and a fountain and all rooms had en-suite bathrooms installed. The entire property received a much needed facelift.
Sue now dedicates her time to making sure her guests are as comfortable and satisfied as possible.

Grant Atkinson – General Manager
Before moving to Bath in early 2015, Grant gained management experience in the food and beverage sector of hospitality. He settled in very quickly and enjoys working with such a friendly and dedicated group of people. He loves living in Bath and takes advantage of all the amazing things the city has to offer.
Upon taking the role as Manager at Tasburgh House, Grant was able to embrace his ambition to run his own hotel and combine this with his passion for outstanding hospitality and business.
Between himself and Sue, they strive to provide the best care and hospitality to each individual guest. Grant is proud to show what makes Tasburgh House such a unique and special place.

Peter Molnar – Property Manager
Peter was born in Hungary and has always had a keen love for cars. Peter worked for Audi in Budapest before moving onto a challenging career as Sales Manager for a five star Swiss hotel chain. Upon discovering his natural ability to please guests, Peter then moved onto working for a Thermal-Golf hotel close to the Austrian border. After five years he got itchy feet and a desire to live and work in England and moved to Bath in 2013.
Peter is an asset to the team at Tasburgh House. Beginning as a Kitchen Porter, he was soon keen to take on further duties and responsibilities. He is now our valued property & grounds manager as well as chef and kitchen assistant – a real ‘jack of all trades’!
