The Best of Airbnb Bath

What’s the best area to stay in Bath?

City Centre

The city centre is compact and home to all the main attractions and sights, so is the ideal place to stay to be in walking distance of practically everything you’ll want to do. Filled with Georgian buildings, there’s no end of beautiful places to stay.

Bathwick

Bathwick is also part of the city centre, but is the area to the east of the River Avon. All of Bath is pretty “posh”, but this is the most upscale district. It’s home to the iconic Great Pulteney Street, as well as many pretty gardens, mansions and museums.

Walcot

Walcot is Bath’s creative, hip area with lots of independent shops, boutiques and restaurants. It’s still in the city centre, and runs alongside the River Avon.
