Balloon Watchers Retreat
Balloon Watchers Retreat is a quirky one bedroom ground floor flat in a gothic Victorian villa, just a short walk into the centre of Bath.
This cosy flat has a double bedroom, compact kitchen, shower room, and comfortable sitting room featuring fantastic views over Bath, where you can watch Hot Air Balloons taking off from Bath’s Royal Victoria Park.
The sitting room has a comfy sofa, dining area and single bed for extra guests.
Hot Air Balloons are the flat’s theme.
You will be delighted to relax in this charming retreat. Give in to your bohemian impulses and enjoy this eclectically furnished and unusual retreat close to all the wonders that Bath has to offer.
This apartment is located in an a gothic Victorian villa situated on the lower slopes of the Wells Road close to the River Avon and the South entrance into the centre of Bath.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a character-filled building and is not the “perfect boutique hotel” so many guests desire nowadays. It may not be your cup of tea, but if you enjoy the unusual and the quirky, this is the right place for you.
Set back from the road, behind an iron gate, this gothic wonder was once a Victorian Schoolhouse. Its owners have lovingly rearranged it into five uniquely decorated apartments.
Unique, individual, bohemian? These are the words to describe this amazing first floor flat. Bright and airy, with windows galore Balloon Watcher’s offers one bedroom accommodation only 10 minutes walk to Bath Spa Railway station and a couple more minutes walk to the Thermae Spa itself!
LOCATION: The Wells Road leads right to the centre of Bath, and our house is located just a little ways away from the River Avon, so it is an easy stroll into Bath with all its cafes, pubs, excellent restaurants and historic sites.
We are also a short stroll from our “Reproduction Georgian” Southgate Shopping Centre, replete with restaurants and shops steps away from the Bath Spa Railway and Bus Stations.
