There’s something undeniably magical about Bath. Whether it’s the honey-hued Georgian architecture, the promise of a long soak at Thermae Spa, or the winding cobbled streets that make you feel like you’ve stepped into a Jane Austen novel.

If you’re planning a countryside escape, we’ve handpicked the most charming places to stay—from grand Georgian townhouses to idyllic cottages tucked away from the city buzz.

For the Nature Lover: Faerie World

This first one is fairytale retreat perched above a babbling brook. Step inside to find rich, moody Farrow & Ball tones, high-end ceramics, and a dreamy terrace wrapped in greenery. If you love long countryside walks and intimate, cozy interiors, this one’s for you.

For the History Buff: Georgian Glory

This next rental is set along the iconic Royal Crescent, this apartment is a masterclass in period elegance. Think sweeping Georgian windows, a private courtyard (a rarity in Bath!), and a location that puts you steps away from the city’s best dining and attractions.

For the City Explorer: The Georgian Maisonette

Nestled between The Royal Crescent and The Circus, this three-story home blends history with modern comfort. Spend your mornings in the sunny courtyard, your afternoons wandering through the city’s historic streets, and your evenings unwinding by the fireplace.

For a Countryside Escape: The Georgian Garden

A countryside escape just outside Bath, this sprawling Grade II-listed home is made for gatherings. With its own tennis court, valley views, and plenty of space for fireside drinks, this is the dream rental for a family or group of friends looking to slow down and soak in English country life.

Best Things to Do in Bath

Bath is a city that invites you to slow down.

From its steamy thermal waters to its cobblestone streets lined with Regency townhouses, there’s a certain magic to strolling through its historic heart — especially in spring, when wisteria drapes over limestone facades and soft morning light filters through the crescents.

If you’re planning a weekend in Bath, here’s see our curated guide featuring the very best places to stay, things to do, and where to eat and drink — all personally vetted for a trip that feels both elegant and effortlessly relaxing.
