Bath Chime

With a glimpse of the Abbey from one window and a peek of the Roman Baths from the other, boltholes in Bath don't get much more central than this. Perched on the top floor of a Georgian townhouse, you'll need to climb a fair amount of stairs to get to this apartment. But with knockout vistas of the city's skyline as your reward, we don't think you'll mind. While the chimes of the Abbey's bells are utterly charming, they might not suit guests looking for marathon lie-ins. Although, with the city at your feet, we suspect you'll be up and at 'em anyway.
