This meticulously furnished, bright flat in the heart of Bath is a treat for anyone who doesn't want to compromise on quality just to get a more central location. We fell in love with the open-plan living area, which features a gorgeous dining bar in the midst of gentle pastel hues and tastefully distressed dressers and end tables. Upon testing the sofas we found that they are wonderfully comfortable. The bedroom is no less impressive — it's quiet and bright, just like the rest of the flat. Overlooking Queen’s Park, you'll find many independent cafes, shops, and restaurants on your doorstep, and both Bath Abbey and the Roman Baths are within a five-minute walk.

Home truths:
*As you're in such a central location, the road can get busy and you may hear some traffic from time to time
*It's a second-floor apartment, so come ready to climb some stairs
*The living space is on the small side, with no formal dining space apart from the breakfast bar
*There is no air conditioning at this home
