Bath is known for being one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, with its quintessential Georgian architecture and stunning surrounding countryside.

The UNESCO-approved Roman Baths, some of the best in the world of their kind, will be the first stop on any tour and is just a 6 minute walk away from the apartment. Take a guided tour of the underground springs and vaults or enjoy a Thermae spa treatment and swim in the rooftop pool with skyline views.

If you want to travel further, Prior Park Landscape Gardens is 20-minutes away by bus. The apartment is also particularly convenient for live rugby, with Bath’s stadium less than 5-minutes walk away. More information on local restaurants and amenities can be found in the comprehensive guest guide.
