Like a storybook playhouse on top floor of a private residence built in the 18th century, the Beau Nash Apartment in Bath Spa UK takes guests on a little fantasy trip into a veritable never-never land on the picturesque Circus. Beautiful patterned wallpaper, French linens in the bedrooms, a gorgeous grand sitting room with comfortable antiques, a flat screen TV, IPod dock, and a stunning view, the apartment makes trekking up four and a half flights of stairs an oasis of relaxation.

The master suite comes equipped with a super over-sized bed, a sitting area and it’s own washbasin, while the second bedroom has 2 separate twin beds. The bathroom, one should be aware, is outfitted with a lovely claw foot bathtub, so if you’re accustomed to a stand up shower you should make arrangements to either a) shower at the spa or b) skip it altogether! You will be sadly disappointed if you try to fake it till you make it on the shower front, so just sit back, bathe, and relax or rough-it at Beau Nash!

There are plenty of cafes, restaurants, gastropubs, and shopping well within walking distance, so it’s quite conveniently located. There’s even a ‘chemist’ just across the street, in case you pick up some nasty virus somewhere along the way. Bath Spa UK is one of the most beautiful places on earth, in my humble opinion, and any of the Swell Group’s apartments in Bath might just be the perfect place to stay if you find yourself planning a trip there!
