Alternate Paths to Bath

Everything I've read makes it sound like there are three ways to get to Bath from Heathrow. 1) train to Paddington, train to Bath [2 1/2 hours]; 2) bus [3 1/2 hours]; 3) rent a car.

I am looking for a fourth option. Is there such a thing as an airport shuttle that could take my family to our B and B in Bath, or perhaps a long distance taxi/limo service? Jumping through the rail loops jet lagged and with luggage just isn't sounding great to me.

Ideas? We'll be arriving on a Sunday, if that is relevant.

Why not ask the B&B?

Every town has a number of cab companies who quote standard prices for pickups from Heathrow. Bath, or the town near Bath where you B&B is, will have several. Or contact the Bath tourist office.

It's probable that most London or Heathrow-based services will charge you a considerable amount more.
