Bathwick Retreat

Holiday Rental Description

We can easily imagine who this soft-toned and luxurious home is for – a group of friends who love travelling together but also want time with their partners, or perhaps a family whose children have flown the nest and appreciate their own space. Whichever group you fall into, it's spread across three floors, offering the occupants of every room plenty of privacy and a private bathroom. The mews you'll be staying in is quiet yet central enough to offer a relaxing walk to the sights. You'll also have the Bath Recreation Ground around the corner if you want to go for a morning jog. The kitchen opens up to a sunny courtyard, set up for alfresco dining courtesy of a large gas barbecue. Pastel hues highlight the natural brightness of the home and help create a relaxed atmosphere, while carefully selected art and book collections add a homely touch. Choose from a selection of music to play while you cook to keep the atmosphere lively. If you're driving, you'll find parking space for two cars – a much sought-after rarity in central Bath.

* The host is only to accommodate children over 8 years of age
* You're less than half a mile from Waitrose, which happens to be the closest supermarket
