Description The Austen: Bath

One of the things that we like most about The Austen is the way that it has retained its sense of history. The building is over 250 years old, and the hosts have managed to keep many of the original features, including the wood panelling, fireplaces, and Georgian shutters. The home is also in the very centre of Bath. As in, less than five minutes on foot to the Roman baths themselves (and the same distance to the station, which while less glamorous, is also worth knowing). Even if it weren’t kept so well, it would be a good base for exploring the city, but as it is, staying here is simply a delight.

Home truths:
*This host cannot accommodate Sunday check-ins
*Unfortunately, the fireplaces in each room are purely ornamental, so don’t try to light a fire in them
*The host asks that you remove your shoes when inside the flat
