A shower room is situated off the hall. A romantic double bedroom is reached via a spiral staircase, with the roof windows creating a light and airy space, a WC and wardrobe are on this mezzanine level, which has a sloped ceiling, low on each side. A secure parking spot is available within the courtyard for you or make use of all the free on street parking surrounding the cottage.

The City of Bath: Bath has a wealth of interesting historic sites, along with superb shopping, beautiful parks and amazing architecture.

What's on?: May sees the Bath International Music Festival with an opening night extravaganza in the city. December sees the Christmas market set up in the Abbey Churchyard, a real festive treat. Experience a carol service at the stunning Bath Abbey or take in the pantomime at the Theatre Royal.

A lovely small cottage near Bath City centre
The cottage was a lovely small property behind a succesful B&B, on one of the major trunk roads of Bath. The cottage was clean, modern and comfortable. Public transport into bath city centre was regular, and the cottage was near the start of several countryside walks. Overall I would highly reccomend staying.

Perfect break in Bath
Just had a perfect little stay in Bath. The fact that we could park up and leave our car for the duration of our stay was great. Just a 15min walk to the city. Such a good location. The cottage is so cute, perfect for 2 and very well equipped with what we needed. The lady looking after it was super friendly. A perfect 20th wedding anniversary break.

Autumn break in Bath
Lovely compact cottage with everything provided. Louise is a perfect host. We enjoyed walking into Bath and using the excellent regular bus service back (be careful you find the right bus stop outside the bus station in front of the river Avon where buses turn into the station). Make sure you visit the unique Thermae baths. Close enough to walk to the Tesco Express.

Lovely coach house in great location
This is a lovely little coach house behind a B&B a few minutes outside Bath. Louise and Chris (hosts) were very attentive, the apartment was spotlessly clean and had everything we could need. Chris gave us a couple of coupons and let us know the best things to see/do in Bath, which included a fabulous free walk around the city. Bath is lovely and we enjoyed everything about our weekend stay. Highly recommend!
