If you're a big group planning a break in beautiful Bath, this stunning Georgian home offers the full Jane Austen experience. On one of the city's most famous streets, and arranged over several floors, it's an impressive period building packed with character features. Originally built as luxury accommodation for wealthy Georgians looking to try the spa town's famous spring water, it's been carefully restored to sleep up to fourteen guests. Elegantly dressed with great attention to detail, dinner parties can be held in the dining room, with after-dinner drinks in the sitting room or have a quiet night tucked away in the study. There are two kitchen areas to cook in, and even a small outdoor patio with benches to take some fresh air. In such a central spot, it's no surprise that all of Bath's main attractions, including the Roman Baths and Thermae Bath Spa, are within a ten-minute walk. There are all sorts of bars and restaurants on your doorstep too. This home is the perfect place for a special celebration – you'll think you've stepped into the pages of a classic novel.
