2 Bedroom Apartment in Upper Town, Bath

Quirky Georgian courtyard apartment in the centre of Bath on "one of the quietest, most beautiful backstreets in the world" (Giles Coren, The Times). We're a stone’s throw from the Royal Crescent and the centre of the city, yet also only a short distance to countryside walks. Perfect for a romantic getaway, a family holiday or for small groups.
*Strictly no parties or hen/stag groups*our family will be close to everything when you stay at this centrally-located place.
This is a spacious courtyard apartment in a beautiful Georgian property. Being on the lower ground floor, it is a little unusual in its layout and while we love the fact it is so quirky - please do take the time to check you would be comfortable staying here before you book!
OUTDOORS
There is a small paved courtyard garden with bench - enough space for alfresco drinks and a barbecue perhaps. This area is very private and not overlooked.
LIVING SPACE
As well as a comfortable living area with a 4-seater sofa and 2 armchairs, there is a dining table that seats 4 people and can be extended to seat 6.
KITCHEN
The kitchen has a fridge freezer, microwave, electric oven and gas hob as well as a toaster and kettle. It also has basic supplies such as plates, cups, glasses and cutlery, as well as pots and pans.
BEDROOMS
At the front of the apartment there is one double bedroom which overlooks the courtyard. This bedroom is also next to the bathroom which has a small bath and shower.
At the rear of the apartment are two interconnecting vaulted rooms with a kingsize bed in one room and two singles in the other. The vaulted rooms do not have a door between them so we have listed them as one room - although we've always used them as two rooms. They would suit a family or guests who know each other well. To be even clearer about the layout, we’ve enclosed a floorplan within the gallery of pictures of the apartment.
* PLEASE NOTE: There is only one bathroom with a shower and smaller than average bath. This made be an issue for larger groups.
These rooms are built under the road and would have originally been the coal cellars for the entire house in the 1700s. We’ve lived here and slept in these rooms for nearly twenty years – however for some it might seem a bit strange to sleep in a room with curved walls so we feel we should point this out before you book!
This property was previously a short let with another owner, you will see a screen shot in the additional features section of its review score
During your stay you will have the entire place to yourselves, however we live in central Bath and so are on hand should you need us. We - or Clair's Mum, Lyn - are usually fairly swift at responding to messages via the Airbnb app so use this first.
We have a key safe system so you can arrive at a time that suits you within the check-in/out period and we do our best to accommodate those who want to store bags before and after this time with our luggage shed (do ask us about this if needed).
PARKING:
In trying to deter people from visiting the city by car, Bath council have stopped all hotel and holiday accommodation guests from using on-street permits. The nearest public car park is Charlotte Street Car Park (BA1 2NE). As well as hourly / short stay options, you can park there for multiple days. It is then just a 5 minute walk to the apartment (however we’d advise dropping your bags and any additional guests at the apartment before parking).
Other things to note
We like to think that this is a child friendly apartment and we have children's books and toys here, as well as a high chair and a change mat. We also have a cot, however you will need to supply your own bedding for these
You should note that there are quite a few steps to get into the property (around 18) which can be an initial challenge for some people - as well as prams / pushchairs (although we did manage it ourselves with a buggy for four years!).

IMPORTANT: On behalf of our host at Pass the Keys, we require guest verification facilitated by Truvi (Previously called Superhog). Upon confirming your booking, Truvi will contact the lead booker via a secure link, providing detailed instructions for the verification process.
The online verification requires a government-issued photo ID and a credit or debit card. During this process, you may choose between a refundable GBP 500 deposit (plus GBP 10 transaction fee currency equivalent) or purchase a non-refundable damage waiver of GBP 40 (currency equivalent) to cover potential damages during your stay.
Once the verification process is successfully completed, check-in information will be provided. If you opted in for a deposit, this will be refunded via credit/debit card after your stay, subject to an inspection of the property.
