Rose & Slate in Bath , Somerset

Rose & Slate Self-Catering

In the heart of Bath's UNESCO-protected historical streets, this home is like something out of a regency romance novel, combining elegant Georgian chic with modern highlights. The wood-panelled walls and grand cornices of the living room have been updated in a soft, stone colour, while the deep green sofa and leather armchair wouldn't be out of place in the library of a grand mansion. The huge windows flood the space with beams of natural light, and the original fireplace harks back to days of brandy and cigars. The striking kitchen in black and gold has everything you need for self-catering, but the city centre's pubs and restaurants are right on your doorstep if you'd prefer to leave the cooking to someone else (you're on holiday, after all).

Home truths:
* To reach this home you need to climb stairs
* As this home is conveniently in the city centre and the original windows are single glazed, you may hear some street noise
*There is no private parking with this home
* No pets are allowed
*The kitchen could be better equipped with a few more utensils
