Highclere Serviced Holiday Apartments, Bath Accommodation
Four self catering holiday flats
ETA 4 star rated accommodation

Elegant and historic Bath is set amidst some of the most beautiful countryside in the West of England. The Highclere Holiday Apartments are on the edge of the golden hillside hamlet of Widcombe, largely rural in outlook, but so near the heart of the city.

Highclere's four self catering flats enjoy commanding views across Bath. The ground, first and second floor flats have panoramic views over the city with its Abbey, (floodlit at night), Roman Baths, River Avon and its bridges and the Kennet and Avon Canal. The trees of Smallcombe Valley present a delightful view from each of the bedrooms of the accommodation, with the idyllic scenes changing from season to season. Highclere is late Victorian, with many original features and has been sympathetically converted into four spacious one bedroom self catering apartments, each of which providing accommodation for two to four persons. These comfortable apartments are a home from home and can be used for holidays and short term temporary stays.

The garden at Highclere is pleasant with a large patio, lawn and flower beds and garden furniture. It is safe for children, being totally enclosed. There is a rotary clothes-line. There is a parking area for accommodation of a small car behind wrought iron gates at the front of the house. For a larger car a parking permit will be available for the zone 2 parking, in addition there are 4 hour bays in the tree lined road outside, for non residents' parking. WIFI broadband has been fitted throughout the house.
