    Former Prime Minister's Home

    A stay here means stepping inside the former home of William Pitt, Britain’s youngest-ever prime minister, who lived in this glorious mansion in 1802 between his two terms. As befitting a prime minister, grandeur abounds – a statement cantilevered stone staircase invites you in from the hallway, a smart reception room comes finished with leather tub chairs and a large table for plotting your next move, crystal chandelier and patterned wallpapers are present throughout, and there’s a bespoke kitchen and seven bedrooms all decked in proper Georgian-style finery. Previous guests have been utterly wowed by this historical property, describing it as spectacularly dressed and well-placed for Bath’s main attractions.

  • The Lark by the Roman Baths

    This home is a treat for the eyes, each room a maximalist gem mixing colour, pattern, tiles and paints to charming effect. The highlight is the kitchen, decked out in bold blue and red tones and finished with a statement cloudlike chandelier. You couldn’t be closer to the delights Bath is best known for, too. The Roman baths are just metres away, and the Abbey is just minutes beyond that. Then on your doorstep, some of the best shops, bars and restaurants the city has to offer. In the morning, take coffee on the private terrace, and after dinner, set a fire in the lounge and curl up.

The calm and contemporary space is set in Bath’s trendy Artisan Quarter, with some of the best restaurants in Bath just a few steps away. But with a well-stocked kitchen and curated dining area, it’s just as easy to cook up supper at home.

  • Jane Austen's House

    As the previous home of the Austen family from 1801 to 1805, this apartment is more of an experience than just another Airbnb stay. Framed vintage photographs, antique furniture and walls overflowing with artwork mean the space is packed to the brim with bohemian character and charm, along with plenty of cosy nooks to curl up with a book. While the history is evident throughout the study, sitting and dining areas, the bathroom is completely modernised and minimal with a rainfall show and underfloor heating.

With a location smack bang amongst Bath’s attractions, you can practically do your sightseeing from the spacious roof terrace which enjoys show-stopping views of Bath Abbey and the city skyline. Elsewhere, the space is sleek, and modern, with a king-sized bed and bathtub making it an ideal couple’s getaway.

  • Regency Apartment

    The interiors of this Regency-style apartment are a bohemia of vibrant colours and antique touches. There’s room for eight guests, with three bedrooms and a spacious kitchen. Set up camp in front of the period fireplace in the sitting room and make the most of the apartment’s games room cupboard, before retiring to one of the bedrooms – we love the cheery room with canary-yellow walls.

    Georgian House Garden Apartment

    Private gardens are a rare perk of an Airbnb stay, so the high note of this elegant Georgian terrace apartment is its leafy terrace and lawn. Inside, plush furnishings and vibrant colours complement period features. But it’s the garden and scenic riverfront location that you’ll want to make the most of. Book your stay in the summer and while away the hours on the terrace which has a barbecue and seating for four.

    Canalside tiny house

    For a cute family stay, we love this canalside mini house just five minutes walk from Bath Spa train station. Cosy up in the compact studio which has a fully equipped kitchen, king size bed and futon-style sleeping options that kids will no doubt love. The clever design has a mezzanine level that is reminiscent of a treehouse, while the large window overlooking the canal is a prime spot to spy kingfishers, herons and swans.
