Home description
An historic three-storey Georgian townhouse in the heart of Bath nestles, just two steps away from the madding crowd, in the quietly fashionable Margaret’s Buildings, a lane of boutiques and restaurants between the world-famous King’s Circus and the Royal Crescent.
There are 2 charming double/twin suites, 1 bedroom with twin beds, 2 well-equipped bath/shower rooms and a bespoke kitchen area with large convivial refectory island. And just to lend an edge to the traditional comfort there are 3 flat-screen TV’s, DVD player with library, CD Hi-FI, Wi-Fi and wine cooler!
Romantic Regency life - much as it still is today

The West Country / Somerset region
Bath was purpose built as a regal holiday playground in the mid 17th century for the King, his Court, the rich, the famous and the simply indulgent (plus the odd gambler, socialite and drinker).
Just come and carry on the tradition. It’s all still all here, good fun, come rain or shine.
Bath / Central Bath area
Read your travel book and write tour notes resting on the sweeping lawns of Victoria Park just 25 yards away. Look up to muse over the splendidly imposing Royal Crescent and see an original Ha-Ha Wall on the lawn. Or catch an open-top tour-bus from the pick-up point right there on the corner to see the sights of Bath in comfort and with a guide. Stroll over to No 1 the Royal Crescent and experience how the Georgians really lived or walk 200 yards to the Fashion Museum in the Assembly Rooms to see how they dressed. Reward yourself with afternoon-tea at the Royal Crescent. Then spoil yourself with a choice of fine dining (just ask us), really great theatre for all ages and tastes, a festival of music choices, or just shop till you drop at the best of the west in Bath. Act young at the crazy golf (or just play on the course up the hill), play tennis at the Club (with lent rackets) or simply stroll round the Botanical Gardens, then take a boat out on the canal or watch the hot air-ballons take-off on all nice warm evenings.
How to get there
Nestled between the Kings Circus and Royal Crescent, Marie Got's Townhouse is in a quiet pedestrian street of traditional and charming boutiques called Margaret's Buildings. Bristol Airport is an accesible 40 minute taxi ride away (we recommend Bath's V Cars 01225 464646) Bath Spa Railway Station provides a 10 minute taxi ride and is host to the Thrifty Car Hire office 01225 442911 if you need one for your stay.

Central London is a 2 hour drive or 90 minutes on the inter-city service every 30 minutes from Paddington Station.

Of course, you could just take a bath at the Spa and travel to and fro in a horse drawn cab.

After being welcomed on arrival you are invited to ask for any advice or assistance from our friendly and well-informed staff in the Liz Cox boutique adjacent.
If it will help, we are pleased to be able to offer to converse in English, Spanish, Italian or French.
Conditions
There are stairs rising up through the three storey’s of this traditional townhouse (and down again) but nothing to deter the reasonably fit and able bodied.
Children (recommended for no younger than 8 years-ish due to the stairs, windows and layout) ) and adults (well-behaved and with clean fingers) are as warmly welcomed as spa-enthusiasts, families, gays, historians, theatre-goers, shoppers, Jane Austin fans, foodies, concert-goers, dilettantes, musicians, literary aficionados and others looking to enjoy a stylish holiday in Bath for 2 nights or more, or 3 nights or more over bank holiday week-ends.
Smoking is not allowed in the Townhouse for safety reasons but there are benches and café chairs right outside in Margaret’s Buildings conducive to those with this penchant.
Pets and the City of Bath don’t really mix so, apologies to Fido.
