Character Cottage - walking distance of city - free secure parking & wi fi

Laburnum Cottage is situated in the courtyard to the rear of Devonshire House Bed & Breakfast. With its own patio, seating area for 2 around a small pond. The cottage has a quaint yet charming atmosphere, providing a welcome oasis from the hustle and bustle of the World Heritage City of Bath. Only a 20 minute pleasant walk into the wonderful city of Bath, with its many tourist haunts and historic past. The cottage itself is entered through a stable door directly into a fully fitted kitchen with dining area for 4. A short hall leads to the open plan lounge with comfy sofa, TV, dvd and CD player. A shower room is situated off the hall. A romantic double bedroom is reached via a spiral staircase, with the roof windows creating a light and airy space, a WC and wardrobe are on this mezzanine level, which has a sloped ceiling, low on each side. A secure parking spot is available within the courtyard for you or make use of all the free on street parking surrounding the cottage.

The City of Bath: Bath has a wealth of interesting historic sites, along with superb shopping, beautiful parks and amazing architecture.

Around and about: The picturesque villages of Lacock and Castle Combe are about 30 minutes from Bath. Bradford on Avon, Glastonbury, Wells and the Cotswolds surround Bath. Wales is a 30 minute drive away.

What's on?: May sees the Bath International Music Festival with an opening night extravaganza in the city. December sees the Christmas market set up in the Abbey Churchyard, a real festive treat. Experience a carol service at the stunning Bath Abbey or take in the pantomime at the Theatre Royal.

A lovely cottage close to the city
This was a lovely cottage, only a short and scenic walk away from the city centre. It was extremely cozy, clean and enjoyable with many cafes and parks surrounding the area to enjoy. The cottage was a very peaceful and nice place to come back to after a long day of exploring the city. We loved every minute of our stay and would definitely come back again!

Magical Mini-Moon in Bath
We received a warm welcome & arrived to find a cosy, well equipped cottage. Super easy to hop on a bus into town. Loads of information on things to do & places to see. Our host Liz really went above & beyond to make sure that we had a lovely, super dog friendly break. Highly recommended, on all counts.

A lovely small cottage near Bath City centre
The cottage was a lovely small property behind a succesful B&B, on one of the major trunk roads of Bath. The cottage was clean, modern and comfortable. Public transport into bath city centre was regular, and the cottage was near the start of several countryside walks. Overall I would highly reccomend staying.

Perfect break in Bath
Just had a perfect little stay in Bath. The fact that we could park up and leave our car for the duration of our stay was great. Just a 15min walk to the city. Such a good location. The cottage is so cute, perfect for 2 and very well equipped with what we needed. The lady looking after it was super friendly. A perfect 20th wedding anniversary break.

Autumn break in Bath
Lovely compact cottage with everything provided. Louise is a perfect host. We enjoyed walking into Bath and using the excellent regular bus service back (be careful you find the right bus stop outside the bus station in front of the river Avon where buses turn into the station). Make sure you visit the unique Thermae baths. Close enough to walk to the Tesco Express.

Lovely coach house in great location
This is a lovely little coach house behind a B&B a few minutes outside Bath. Louise and Chris (hosts) were very attentive, the apartment was spotlessly clean and had everything we could need. Chris gave us a couple of coupons and let us know the best things to see/do in Bath, which included a fabulous free walk around the city. Bath is lovely and we enjoyed everything about our weekend stay. Highly recommend!
