  The Apartment    
 

This luxury flat in Bath City Centre provides self-catering accommodation for four with a secluded walled garden for the sole use of guests.

Portland Place is an elegant, Georgian terrace situated on the northern slopes of Bath City; close enough to the centre to be very convenient, yet far enough out to be peaceful and relaxing. The terrace enjoys excellent views over a small green with silver birch trees, down between two further elegant Georgian terraces, across the city centre to the hills behind.

Within a 2 to 5 minute walk, there's a small supermarket open until 11pm; excellent greengrocers, deli and pubs; good restaurants and the world famous Georgian Royal Crescent. Victoria Park, with delightful gardens and a children’s playground is a 10 minute walk. It takes about 12 to 15 minutes to walk to the city centre and a one-way taxi journey costs about £4. For more details see the section on Bath and Beyond.

Parking
Portland Place has on-street parking for permit holders and visitors' vouchers for one car are included in the price of your holiday. However, the city is so compact that exploring on foot is very easy so a car is by no means essential.

Visitors with mobility problems
The buildings in Portland Place are on a raised pavement but there is ramp access from the road level at two places with disabled parking bays. There are a few steps leading from the pavement to the front door. Once inside the front door all accommodation is on one level. The garden has a small lower terrace accessible to wheelchairs but the majority of the garden is on a higher level reached via a steep set of stone steps.
