Bath Time Retreats...

 
 
 
 
Well, I'm not sure what words I can use to describe this amazing period property! Everything about our weekend here was wonderful.
 
We booked Daniel and Anna's apartment through AirBnB. I just loved the look of the apartment, and the quirky, eclectic way in which it had been renovated.
 
It didn't disappoint...Daniel was the perfect host, warm and welcoming, eager that we should have everything we needed, to make this a wonderful stay. As he showed us around the apartment, it was clear how much love he, and his wife Anna, had put into this place.
 
A selection of homemade jams, homemade bread and cereals were left in the truly brilliant kitchen area, which had all mod cons...but very sensitively done! The shower room was cleverly installed into part of the bedroom. The bed itself, has to be one of the best I've ever slept in...wish I had asked about the mattress now!
 
I just loved all the little details throughout the flat, from the bath sign in the bedroom, the vintage cameras, the amazing lighting...and the balcony. Well, once I'd got over my fear of heights, which took all of five seconds, I loved sitting out there. The view over neighbouring gardens, and the hills was so relaxing.
 
The apartment is situated on one of the main roads into Bath, for most it would be a ten to fifteen minute stroll, much longer for myself, but there's an array of vintage, quirky shops enroute...all a little run down, which made them more appealing!
 
I would definitely reccommend this apartment, you wouldn't be disappointed. It really was a Bath Time Retreat!
 
 
(I wasn't sponsored for this post...all my thoughts and feelings are my very own, as was the money I paid, and worth every penny I may add, to stay there!).
 
THANK YOU so much for you're lovely comments about my garden studio...already it's made a big difference to the way we use our garden and home...more pictures soon, of the changes I've made.
 
Have a great week everyone!

  3. A magnificent and luxurious apartment, the kind of place one could only dream of owning. The owners have paid so much attention to every detail, the views of Bath are wonderful. So pleased you enjoyed your stay. I love the photo of your kitty, does he/she have a name?
    Happy week!

  5. What a wonderful property. Bath is gorgeous isn't it, it's somewhere I used to go a lot, Before Children. The houses there are in a league of their own. And what a glorious view from those three beautiful sash windows. I'm so glad you had such a good time. CJ xx

  7. I've been taking time this evening to catch up with old bloggy friends. I've been quite negligent with the blogs these days, but I blame the warm weather ;) I've read back, back, back on your posts Amanda and have enjoyed seeing some amazing things here! Your studio?! Wow!! I think something like that is in every girl's dreams! What an amazing place for you and your husband to hang out together (sort of) at the bottom of your garden ... where the fairies are if I remember correctly! You made the right choice, and I doubt you'd be as happy sitting in a new bathroom, as you will be sitting in your new studio. I'm so happy for you to have done something so special for yourselves. I didn't know your husband was a musician. Now he can serenade you in the garden ;)
    Your time in Bath sounds like it was a lovely relaxing time away. Gorgeous photos of your holiday.
    Take care Amanda, and enjoy your new space every possible moment!!

    1. Hello Wendy, thank you for your lovely comment...crickey, I've evicted the fairies, forgot about those! Yes my garden is taking up an incredible amount of time, I've certainly missed visiting everyone. Hopefully most of the time consuming weekend will be done this weekend so I can get back to my normal routine...in my studio, of course! ;) xxx
