Murphys House is in an ideal spot to enjoy all that Bath has to offer. You’ll find the Roman Baths, Thermae Spa, Pump Room Restaurant and The Rec just a 10-minute walk away, and the impressive Royal Crescent and Victoria Park are about a 15-minute walk from the apartment. A whole host of great shops and restaurants are also within walking distance, as well as the cinema and The Theatre Royal.
The house is only a 10-minute walk from Bath Spa train station, the main bus station is also only a 10-minute walk and has links to Bristol, Wells and Frome – perfect for day trips. Due to the central location, unfortunately the property doesn't come with an allocated space or permit. If you're looking for a car park, we would recommend Charlotte Street long-stay (postcode: BA1 2NE). There are always spaces available and it's monitored by cameras. The cost is currently £15 for 12 hours, £30 for 48 hours, but please double check this. The maximum stay is 7 days (you can pay for your parking at the machines or online at MI Permits website or app). Otherwise we would suggest coming by train, where possible.
What the Owner has to say:
"As frequent travellers we didn't want to create 'just another' short term letting so went all out when listing our home. We've kept some of our original artwork in the the property and fitted the beds with the best memory foam mattresses we could find. On the tech side we've put app enabled TV's in along with ultrafast broadband + turned the snug into a dedicated workspace or family friendly area depending on your needs. We've also installed a Lavazza coffee machine and left a libraries worth of books, both fiction and non, to ensure you've always got something to do. We raised our family here so you'll benefit from a Nest enabled thermostat + top of the line smoke and co2 alarms throughout + a high chair and cot if needed. Look carefully and you'll even find the hat Peter bought at a festival when he was trying to pretend he was still young enough to pull it off!
It was a great home and we loved living there, we hope you enjoy your stay as much as we enjoyed getting it ready for you. If there's anything we can do to maximise your stay, just let us know."

Summary: We had a great stay and on the whole a fab experience. What stops it being a luxury property is just a few little touches that could be easily fixed:1. The peeling paintwork2. Mold on the kitchen wall3. The first floor bathroom door does not even shut never mind lock (which is missing)4. Some light fixtures bulbs don't work and batteries have ran out of clocks5. The outside area looks like it has not been cleaned or weeded this year. Plants are dying and someone previously had a BBQ which had not been swept up.One of the reasons we picked the property was the outside area as we had a 90 year old with us and so just wanted to chill in the evening but it was not a pleasant place to sit at all.All this could be put right really quickly and it just took the edge off our stay.
