Overnight and longer in Bath
There is a great choice of accomodation in Bath. It is mostly excellent.
Practicality
Remember Bath is in a valley and thus surrounded by hills and so if you have difficulty walking it will be wise to check your accommodation is close to the centre. If mobility is not an issue Bath is a small city sod easy to traverse on foot.
Hotels versus Guest Houses versus Bed and Breakfasts….
The differences between these classes of accommodation are blurring. Some guest houses are more akin to hotels offering superb service.
Finding Accommodation
Whilst the booking engines seem like best value often they are not as extras are excluded to help pay the commissions they charge the properties. We would recommend telephoning and independent hotel or guest house and booking direct.
