Mews Cottage is an enchanting 3 bedroom (sleeping 5) home with spectacular views of the fabulous Georgian spa city of Bath. With its stylish decor this amazing little hideaway will make your stay in Bath a pleasant dream. You will not be staying in the very centre of Bath, which means that you will have an allocated parking space in the drive in front of your home, a delightful sunny garden and a little bit of peace and quiet. Mews Cottage is surprisingly close to many amenities, from supermarkets to gastro pubs and is just three-quarters of a mile from the Roman Baths. Everything you could possibly require will be provided in the cottage, from teas, coffees, etc., to widescreen TV, DVD, radio and Wifi. Whether your stay is for family and friends or a romantic weekend get away, you could not ask for a more delightful retreat from the bustle of Bath City Centre, yet you need only gaze out of any of your windows to see the stunning city, and even countryside around you.

Accessibility
The property has 2 floors, with the lounge, kitchen and single bedroom upstairs, bathroom and double and twin bedrooms downstairs, and is approached via a sloping driveway. Not suitable for a wheelchair user, due to the stairs, sorry.
Outside
The delightful small but private and sheltered sunny garden is accessed by a flight of stone steps externally. There is a small lawned area and some shrubs, and seating and tables are provided. A lovely place to sit in the morning sun.
Off street parking to the front. This can be a bit difficult to access due to the slope of the area and other cars parked on the street, but you can always park in front of the cottage on the road as there is free unlimited on street parking.
Coast/Beach
Bath is about 1 hour's drive to the nearest beach at Weston Super Mare (sand, sand, and even more sand when the tide is out!) and 2 hour's drive to the beautiful Devon coast.
Golf
There is a pitch and putt course with panoramic views over the city within walking distance (20 mins), and numerous other excellent 18 hole courses within 10-20 mins driving time.
Travel
M4/A46 (Junction 18 on the M4) is about 15 minutes and Bristol International Airport is 30 minutes by car. London Heathrow is about 1hr 45m, Portsmouth docks about 2hrs.
London Paddington rail station is just over an hour on the train from Bath Spa station. A taxi will then be able to whisk you to Mews in less than 10 mins.
Driving around Bath is mostly OK, but parking can be hard to find in the centre, so walking and taxis are often as quick and economical.
Distances
Bradford on Avon is a pretty old woollen mill town only a 20 min drive away. Glastonbury is 45 minutes away, or visit Cheddar caves or Longleat Safari Park. Castle Coombe, a quaint village (and motor racing circuit) is 30 mins. Bristol 30 mins, Stonehenge, Lacock, olde worlde unspoilt village, the south west awaits you.
Further details
Bath was a big city, like Rome, and became a retirement centre for Roman generals and senators. Its Roman heyday lasted for 400 years! The Romans only left when their empire collapsed and the rest is history. In the time of King George, the city fathers built many innovative buildings in a style that has come to be known as the Georgian Style. Bath is the birthplace of this once modern architecture. Now, with its architectural integrity and the golden hue of its stone, it is one of the jewels of Britain's heritage. Today, Bath is a small, but cosmopolitan, vibrant and lovely city. Great restaurants, museums, galleries, shops, theatre, the Thermae Spa baths, hot springs, walks or cycle rides along the canal or river, balloon rides, always something going on, a wonderful dry and sunny climate make this lovely city a great holiday destination. Near Mews Cottage there are several pubs (many provide good food), local shops, parks, even a supermarket, within a 10 mins walk.

Owner profile
About the owner
I spend some of the time on the farm in Wales, and some in Bath with my partner. She's the one with the passion for interiors and an eye for style.
Year purchased: 1990
Why the owner chose a home in this location
My partner bought this lovely hide-away long before we met and loved living here. When she decided to move, neither of us could bear to sell such a happy place, so we decided it would make a lovely holiday home, which meant we'd be able to use it too! We both love Bath, for all it's variety and delights and would always keep this house, even if we moved away, as it's got something special.
Unique benefits of the property
It's close enough to walk to or from town and the street has a nice community feel with some lovely buildings on it and if you go up the hill there are some nice walks and village style pubs within half an hour. The garden and parking are such a bonus too.
