Wow earned myself some serious brownie points with the girlfriend after booking a weekend away for a birthday treat.
Apsley house epitomises the ideal B&B, not too many rooms so you get that personal touch, quaint and oozing character.
Stayed in the Beau room which is highly recommended for couples. Why?- a HUGE antique roll top tub big enough to fit three people easily. Have to be honest- was a little disappointed until i actually got into the tub and then realised how deep it was. The other benefit is that you have your own private garden entrance, which makes you feel you have your own little hideaway. The room also has a very nice 4 poster bed and flatscreen. The room isn't huge- but very cosy nonetheless. Free WIFI as standard.
The rest of the hotel is exactly what you'd hope for, drawing room with a high ceilings, antique furniture and a lovely open fire. Breakfast mustn't be missed!!! Lovely locally sourced ingrediants. The hotel itself is like a large country house- very nice.
Its about a 25 minute walk into town or a £5 cab ride. You get lovely views over the garden into the surrounding area. The hotel also has its own off street parking.
Service was great, i only remembered to bring a usb phone charger and the management lent me their spare laptop to use it with. They were very friendly and made us feel very at home.
As people have said before me- this hotel definitely deserves the no.1 spot. If we ever return to Bath we know where we'll be staying!
