Our short holiday at The Apartment Bath was excellent in every way - our hosts Adam & Claire were extremely helpful and welcoming beforehand and kept in close touch with us during our stay as well to ensure everything was to our liking. The property was clean, warm and beautifully appointed and we really appreciated the pretty Christmas decorations and food gifts which made our festive stay even more special.

We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at The Apartment, Bath Patricia. You were an absolute pleasure to host and we hope to welcome you back one day!
We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay in Bath. It is in easy walking distance from the bus station and the co-op across the street was very convenient. There is a bus stop just around the corner if you need transportation but it is very walkable to get to City Centre and the Roman Baths. We felt welcomed and the communication with the host was excellent.

Thank you for the fab review Christian. We are so pleased you loved The Apartment, Bath. It was a pleasure hosting you!
We wanted to be central and near the train station and the apartment was perfectly located. It is only about an easy 4-5 minute walk from the station and the also the high street, Roman Baths, etc. were quite accessible. The hosts were extremely responsive and helpful at every turn. Would highly recommend.

Thank you for the fab review Jeff. We are so pleased you had a great stay and enjoyed the location and charm of The Apartment, Bath.
We had a great stay. Great location near the train station made travel in from London and day trips out very easy. Easy walk to all the sites in Bath. Nice neighborhood with nearby food stores, pubs, and pharmacy. Adam and Claire were easy to communicate with and were incredibly helpful. Indeed, shortly before our stay Adam and Claire realized I had made an error in the booking dates. Fortunately they were able to accommodate us with a few minor changes. I would stay here again.

My grandson and I spent 5 nights here and enjoyed every minute. The apartment was charming cozy and very comfortable. We used it as a base to explore both Bath and its surroundings. We looked forward to coming "home " after a busy day out. The location is especially great if you don't have a car. It's an easy walk to the bus or train station and to Bath center.Our hosts couldn't have been more helpful or accomodating.We both wholeheartedly recommend this rental.

We enjoyed our stay and Claire & Adam could not have been better hosts! Their communication and recommendations in advance of our stay were top notch and so appreciated! The follow up afterwards was above and beyond…my son left his jacket at a local restaurant…they went to the restaurant to get it and mail it to us. We are so grateful to have rented their adorable apartment during our stay!

Loved our stay at this perfect accommodation and the hosts could not be more welcoming. The location was absolutely perfect for exploring Bath and the train station was a 3 min walk. There is a wonderful pub just down from the apartment that had the best breakfast and an Indian rewrite some of the best Indian ever. The grocery across the street was perfect for grabbing groceries as well. Would 100% recommend.

Thank you for the lovely review, and recommendation, Marie. We are so pleased you loved your stay. It was a pleasure welcoming you!
Great location and communication and comfortable but not sure about luxurious.
Very tight entrance so to remove shoes as requested we could only go or leave 1 at a time. Kitchen is also very tight.

We were sad, Kathy, to receive our first (and only) non-5* review since opening in 2017 and appreciate you leaving your feedback. The Apartment's period features, internal layout and historical charm date back to the early 1800s and guest feedback often highlights the well-designed layout and extensive facilities and amenities offered throughout. Thanks in particular for your great feedback on location and our guest care - we're perfectly located for stays in Bath and delighted our aim to consistently go above and beyond for our guests visiting beautiful Bath was recognised. Many thanks.
Claire and Adam are wonderful hosts. Claire met us upon arrival and couldn't be nicer! She gave us great ideas of things to do and how to navigate parking our rental car. Their charming 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment in Bath is pretty and clean, comfortable and an easy walk from the train station. We would definitely return!!

The home has everything we needed, perfect location near the train and city center. The house is decorated beautifully. Lots of stairs to each floor but that is to be expected.

We really enjoyed our stay at the apartment in Bath! Great location, and a really lovely apartment. We had plenty of space and everything was clean and well stocked. Claire was very responsive and went above and beyond to make sure our checkin went smoothly. The location is great for walking to great restaurants and attractions. I would highly recommend staying here on your next trip to Bath.

Thank you for the lovely review Shannon, it means a lot to us. It was a pleasure to host you and we hope to welcome you back one day!
Let me start by saying that if 10 stars was available that would be our rating. We stayed at this property for one week and from check in to check out it was fabulous! The property is very well kept, modern, clean and equipped with everything needed to make our stay as comfortable as home. It is also in a great location, close to the train station, shops and the best part is the grocery store right across the street. I cannot say enough about Adam and Claire, they are wonderful. Any question we had(and we had quite a few) they answered quickly and were very helpful. The little extras they left on our arrival was very welcoming and meant a lot to us.
I would definitely stay there again, and would recommend anyone staying in Bath to do the same.

About the host
Hosted by Adam & Claire Powell
We've lived in Bath, England since 2003 and have two children at secondary schools in the city. We only thought we'd live here for a couple years - but have found it just too lovely to leave! We love to travel and equally enjoy sharing recommendations for places to eat, drink and visit - and try to meet all our guests staying at The Apartment, Bath.
Why they chose this property
You'll be staying in a property oozing history. Built in the early 1800s, our home is positioned at the end of an historic Grade II-listed terrace. Its location on Widcombe Parade means that not only do you have shops, bars and restaurants within seconds of our front door, but you're a three-minute walk to Bath Spa railway station and only 5-10minutes from the city's main attractions.
What makes this property unique
The Apartment, Bath is central yet quiet, full of history, comfortable and recently modernised. Loved by all of our guests since we opened over seven years ago, we'd love to welcome you too!
