The top Airbnbs in Bath

1. A garden retreat by the Roman Baths

A Bath Airbnb with a roof terrace? Sign us up. This city centre gem hits the mark in every way (and even in ways you never knew you needed); expect a living room with luxe velvet sofas and a log burner, a super king bed in the master bedroom, a big dining area for socialising and a rooftop oasis with cosy seating. The Grade ll-listed Georgian home is also unexpectedly bright, colourful and playfully decorated with tasteful maximalism in mind.   

Rooms: Four. Sleeps 10 guests. 
Budget range? 
Best to split between as many people as possible... 
Don’t miss:
A visit to the famous Abbey just beyond the property. There's also a lovely little vegan cafe nearby called Plant.Eat.Licious. 

2. A former Prime Minister's home in Bathwick

Stay in the former home of Prime Minister William Pitt, who occupied this magnificent mansion in 1802. Epitomising Bath's rich history and elaborate architecture, this home is as grand as they come – with statement furnishings and detailed finishes. There are four stories to scout out, decorated with patterned wallpaper and drenched in natural light. Neutral tones bring the interiors up to date creating the perfect blend of old and new. It's got the wow-factor – that's for sure. And its prime position in Bath city centre leaves you with no excuse not to get out and explore. 

Rooms: Six. Sleeps 12 guests. 
Budget range? 
Pretty cheap if split between 10+ people. 
Don’t miss:
The Pulteney Bridge is just around the corner, where you can see the famous weir built in the Middle Ages to prevent flooding in Bath.

3. A studio apartment in the Paragon

This unique apartment is located within the Grade l-listed Paragon – Bath's famous curved residential street. As one of the best Airbnbs in Bath for couples, this place oozes character and is sure to make for a memorable staycation indeed; the bedroom sits within an arched stone wall – in other words the ultimate cosy cove – while the living area provides another nook you'll be tempted to stay in all day thanks to its low ceiling, dim lighting and comfy sofa.  

Rooms: One. Sleeps two guests. 
Budget range? 
A great price for the location. 
Don’t miss:
Book ahead at one of Bath's best eateries, which are pretty much all within walking distance of the property. 

4. A luxury studio on Great Pulteney Street

Not only is this a cheap Airbnb in Bath city centre, but it's also a beauty. Winning in pretty much every department, this deluxe room is delightfully bright and designed to look modern and traditional all at the same time. The pops of yellow are sure to lift your mood, with the colour theme continuing into the stylish bathroom. If you're wanting an Airbnb with a full-blown kitchen, this may not be the digs for you. But if you're happy with a microwave, kettle, toaster and fridge, then look no further. 

Rooms: Two. Sleeps four guests. 
Budget range? 
Ridiculously affordable.  
Don’t miss:
A stroll through Henrietta Park and Sydney Gardens which are both just a stone's throw away.

The kitchen is equipped for cooking proper meals and the location is ideal for visitors who want to be immersed in the history and natural beauty of Bath. 

Rooms: One. Sleeps four guests. 
Budget range? 
Moderately priced.

A walk across the nearby Pulteney Bridge at night – when it's all lit up. 

6. The Jane Austen townhouse

This lovingly restored apartment was once the home of Jane Austen, and is now the perfect Airbnb in Bath for small families. You'll find a thoughtfully thrown-together mishmash of colourful furniture, wall hangings and knick-knacks from a range of eras inside this quirky space. It's impeccably well-kept while still maintaining its cosy lived-in feel, and the rose-filled courtyard makes it even more idyllic. 

Rooms: Two. Sleeps three guests. 
Budget range? 
On the pricier side. 
Don’t miss: 
A trip to the world-famous Holburne Museum, located directly across the road from the house.
