Argyle & Avon

Argyle & Avon: Somerset

Declared Five Star Gold by the local tourist board, this apartment soaks up the city's sights and sounds from the heart of Bath. With original 18th century architectural details and sash windows framing the Pulteney Bridge in all its glory, the home is a delightful setting for a quiet getaway. What we’d give to spend an afternoon of quiet reading on the mezzanine level, listening to the gentle ripple of the nearby weir. Or enjoying a slap-up meal in the grand living space, accompanied by postcard views of the River Avon. If you're a first-time visitor, it’s a breeze reaching attractions like the Bath Abbey, Theatre Royal and Thermae Spa – all a few hundred metres from your doorstep. And if that wasn’t enough, your locale is dotted with museums, shops and restaurants – situated no more than a ten-minute walk away.
