The West Country / Somerset region

This is the West Country - and Bath is nearly equi-distance from such famous sites as Stonehenge, Avebury, the Wye Valley, Glastonbury and the Cotswolds. We've got everything!

Bath is in a wonderfully central position in the Southwest, laying at the foot of the Cotswolds and at the gate to the Mendips. There are fascinating prehistoric and heritage sites fanning out in all directions - most in less than an hours drive. Here are some of the highlights:

Stonehenge:

The great and ancient stone circle of Stonehenge is one of the wonders of the world and should not be missed on a trip to the West Country.

Salisbury:
http://www.salisburycathedral.org.uk/
This unique city with its amazing Medieval Cathedral built in the 13th Century is located within a short drive of Bath.

The Bath / Central Bath area

Bath is one of the most beautiful places to visit in England and was deservedly designated a World Heritage site in 1987. Surrounded by stunning countryside it has a unique heritage: its Roman Baths with natural hot springs and its elegant Georgian architecture with buildings of golden sandstone.

Bath has an abundance of attractions, most of which are within easy walking distance of Henrietta Street. Visitors can bathe in the natural, warm, mineral waters in the new spa complex, which also offers a full range of treatments.

There are numerous museums within Bath and several National Trust properties a few miles away. Delightful shops and galleries, many independently owned, will tempt you with their unique range of items. Bath is a centre for antiques, art and other collectables and for its literature and music festivals, it boasts an excellent Georgian theatre, The Theatre Royal, and has a spectacular 16th century abbey. Bath is a place of pavement cafes, craft markets, historic pubs, street theatre, intimate bistros and chic restaurants.

The Roman Baths, the new Thermal Bath Spa, The Royal Crescent, The Circus, The Assembly Rooms, Pulteney Bridge - it's all here: Architecture, Art, Theatre, Christmas Market, and the Bath International Music Festival!

Within easy driving distance of Bath are the Cotswolds, the Kennet and Avon Canal, Bradford-upon-Avon, Cheddar Gorge, Wells, Glastonbury and Bristol.

This flat, in Henretta Street is less than a minutes walk from the famous Pulteney Bridge, which makes a grand entrance into the heart of Bath.

This flat is located on the Grand 1st floor of this impressive Georgian terrace house and benefits from sunny westerly aspect, and a very central location.

“The perfect base from which to explore beautiful Bath and beyond” We spent a lovely Christmas at the Henrietta Street flat. The owners had made it especially welcoming for the season with a beautifully decorated Christmas tree, mulled wine and mince pies and even crackers. We had brought rugs because I thought the flat might be a bit chilly in its high ceilinged, Georgian elegance but not at all - it was cosy and warm. And it really is a delightful, elegant apartment just a couple of minutes walk across the Pulteney Bridge to the heart of Bath.

“CONVENIENT LOCATION WITH A WARM FEELING” A great location. As we were there during the Christmas holiday, we have lots of shopping to do, we were able to go back to the apartment couple of times and come back to shop again. It also near the tourist attractions, so time is save travelling between attractions. On our first day, we were there around 8pm and they were there to pass the key to us, which we think is very kind of them to accommodate us during the late hour. The apartment is decorated with a Christmas tree and lights, which give it a very nice warm welcoming feeling. Our family has a great stay there.

“Beautiful Apartment and Very Convenient” Myself and My three Friends travelled to Bath to visit the Christmas Markets and go to a Rugby Game. The apartment is so central. It is about a 10 minute walk from the train station and 2 minutes walk from all shops,pubs, restaurants and the rugby stadium. The apartment was extremely clean and cosy and both Tricia and Martin were excellent to deal with. I would recommend this apartment to anyone going to Bath.

“Well equipped, clean & airy apartment handily situated for Bath city centre” The apartment was light & airy with modern furnishings whilst still retaining the original charm of the building, ie wooden shutters, stripped floorboards. The owner was v helpful - arranging the booking & confirming arrival time was easy. Welcome pack of tea, juice & biscuits much appreciated. The location is EXCELLENT, just a few minutes walk over Pulteney Bridge into the heart of Bath. However, despite it's location there was no noise at night, so we all had a great night's sleep in the very comfy beds. Would definitely use this apartment again if staying in Bath, rather than a hotel, as it's nice (& cheaper!) to be able to self-cater if you want. Great to be able to park for £1 per day too. Only downside for us was being asked to strip beds & clean property before leaving. Also not good for anyone with mobility problems / pram as on the first floor & no lift.

“Gorgeous base to explore Bath!” The flat is lovely, with everything we needed. Beautifully furnished, quiet but really close to the centre of Bath. We had a lovely time - but watch out for traffic wardens while you're filling out the parking permit!

“In the city scene, indeed.” The apartment is in very good condition. A few unimportant tips to improve it: * Kitchen utensils: one pan and one knife to cut bread. * Twin bed bedroom: It is very confortable. I would change only one of the beds for one sofa-bed (it would be useful for families with only one child) I would also make the window to be more isolated to sound and light. (The main bedroom is excellent) Response: Thanks for your positive review. We've added a brand new knife block in the kitchen, and a complete set of new pans (completed beginning of Nov) We've also installed beautifully lined curtains in both bedrooms to compliment the original Georgian shutters, which improve both light and sound insulations (completed beginning of Nov) Unfortunately being a Grade I listed building we can't install double glazing to improve this further.

“Great Place to Stay” Great place to stay in Bath, very central, close to everything. The apartment is very comfortable. The only down side was that there was a lot of noise from teh street on saturday night. It could have been jut becasue it was the weekend.

“Perfect location to explore Bath” We stayed in this apartment for a week with our two young kids and it was the perfect spot to explore Bath as it was only a few minutes walk from the centre of the city. The apartment itself was bright and clean. If I was critical I would say that it had been furnished a bit cheaply, but it is only a minor issue and certainly shouldn't put anyone off. All in all I would highly recommend the apartment.

“Beautiful apartment, peaceful but in the centre of everything!” I booked this apartment for a 2 night stay with my Mum and Grandma in June this year while I was over from Australia (originally from the North of England). The booking process was smooth and pleasant via email which helps when 12,000 miles away! The apartment is beautiful and a lovely oasis to return to at the end of a busy day of sightseeing. It is very central and a perfect base for visiting the city, but is lovely and peaceful and doesn't feel as close to the centre as it actually is when you're relaxing there. Lovely furnishings and decor, very helplful and friendly people running it, 5 mins walk to the centre of Bath, can highly recommend this apartment and would definitely stay again if visiting Bath. Can also recommend No. 5 restaurant around the corner...a 2 min walk from the apartment, super service, excellent food and live music (which added to the atmoshphere without being intrusive) and very good value...particularly the mid-week special menu, which is available later into the night than many places offer. Overall had a wonderful stay and would love to return!

“Review of No 9 Henrietta Street” This apartment was in a fabulous location, only minutes walk from the city centre sights and restaurants. It was extremely well presented with everything you would need from holiday accommodation and check-in was very easy. Parking permits were provided although parking in the street itself was not guarenteed. Nevertheless there was ample parking nearby. Beats a cramped hotel room any day. On the first floor so not suitable for wheel chairs or possibly pushchairs.

“So much better than an impersonal hotel” Four of us (two couples) shared this apartment for 3 nights. We felt like we had the true Bath experience staying on one floor of a lovely Georgian townhouse, so much more authentic than staying in... more

“Perfect location for exploring central Bath” Flat was lovely and quiet and just a stone's throw from the centre of Bath. Easy to find and park - once there we went everywhere on foot. The welcome pack was a really nice touch.

“The perfect location for a weekend in the city” We rented the apartment for a weekend in December when coming to Bath to watch rugby. The property is ideally situated for the rugby ground and city centre, and is in easy walking distance of all the main attractions (as well as the train station; you really don't need to bring a car). Unlike some rental properties, the flat is well heated, making it ideal for a winter stay, and is equipped with everything you need for a weekend. The beds are very comfortable, and the views from the windows down the old streets of Bath are beautiful. In terms of improvements, the only thing I could think of would be perhaps that the bathroom needs sprucing up a little as there was some limescale damage to the bath, and another comfy chair in the lounge area wouldn't go amiss. Over all though, these are very minor quibbles, and I would definitely choose to stay at this property again when visiting Bath.

“Good location, poorly equiped and not very comfortable.” On the face of it, the photos makes this appartment look stunning, Very cleverly taken from different angles. The location is superb, but the minute you enter this property a sense of disappointment takes over. The shared entrance hallway is quite shabby and smelt terrible for the 18 days we stayed there, a very strong aroma of curry filled the stairway. The notice alerting guests to the security issue, re recent burgularies was quite alarming. The shutters to the windows were poorly maintaned and did not close properly, we had to use fleeces and towels to cut down the drafts, As none of the windows had curtains. The 2nd bedroom is little more than a cupboard of the lounge without wardrobes or any form of adequite storage. the second bedroom has an uncomfortable single bed with a slide out under it. the kitchen was poorly equipted also, the fridge doesnt even have a freezer or icebox in it. Parking is also difficult in this location as they are two hotels both opposite and next door. The permit that can be arranged at the guests expense has to be renewed every two days by phoning an 0870 number. Not a property that I would consider booking again. No WOW factor. Response: 'City-Scene', is ideal as a short stay holiday apartment. In this instance, guests wanted a value for money, 3-week stay while working outside, as stallholders at the Bath Christmas Market. We were informed that only 2 guests would be staying at the apartment, as a result the second twin bedded room was not fully made up. However it quickly became apparent that up to 6 guests were staying in the apartment. Guests were also inappropriately using it as a central stockroom, to restock their stalls. The apartment is located on the 1st floor of a Grade II Listed, Georgian Building and the shutters are an original feature. We do not advertise having curtains, and feel they would detract from style of the property. We do not advertise the apartment as having a freezer. The communal hallway is kept tidy and is cleaned weekly. Henrietta Street is one of Bath's premier locations. There are no known security issues in the building or on Henrietta Street. The apartment has two locks in addition to the main entrance. As an additional service we arranged parking on behalf of our guests every morning to ensure their commercial van remained parked conveniently outside the apartment for the duration of their stay. I am surprised to learn of any inconvenience. At no time during their 3-week stay were any of the above issues raised.
