Living with Host
Attic room with a 5 foot bed, blackout blinds and curtains in an 18th century terraced house with my shop on the ground floor. Usually sole use of the adjoining bathroom; TV + radio, wi-fi, tea, coffee and kettle provided, and full use of family kitchen.
Approximately 15-20 minute walk from the theatre on a well-lit route. No steep hills!
I live on the premises, occasionally with family or friends staying too.
Guest Parking
Parking in public car parks
The Area and Transport
The house is in a mixed residential and shopping area. There are bus-stops for going in or out of the centre a couple of minutes away, but the city centre - and the theatre - is only about a quarter of an hour's walk anyway. There's a Morrisons, various takeaways and café/restaurants near by, a Waitrose on the walk into town and several Sainsburys or Tescos in the centre.
It takes between a quarter and half an hour to walk from the train or coach station; buses and taxis are easy to find there.
The Roman Baths, the Georgian Pump Room, Bath Abbey and the modern-day Spa are all in the centre of the city, and the iconic streets such as the Royal Crescent and The Circus are just a few minutes stroll away.

Lovely stay with Michael last minute, very helpful with helping find the property.
It’s about 15/20 minutes walk to theatre royal with some nice parks near by to enjoy the sunshine
The house is very quirky and filled with antiques, the room is bright and has a lovely window view and the bathroom is lovely too. Decent water pressure is always nice
Would stay again

Thanks for the review, though I'm sad that you felt that the accuracy, location, value and communication wasn't up to scratch.
I had a wonderful stay with Michael. The room was ideal as was the location. I would be thrilled to stay again the next time I find myself in Bath :)

A lovely review, Morgan - thanks very much!
I had a wonderful stay with Michael. It was very enchanting to come through his antique shop each day. The attic room is really comfortable and private. The walk to the theatre is actually quicker than waiting for a bus and very pleasant (nice shops, pubs, restaurants plus well lit at night). Michael is friendly and welcoming. I couldn't recommend more and would definitely return here.
24th Nov 2025
Thank you very much for the review - it was lovely having you to stay!
Had a lovely stay at Michael's. A cosy room with plenty of light and very clean private bathroom. Michael was super friendly and welcoming. A very doable walk to the theatre or easy bus access. Highly recommend these digs!
17th Nov 2025
That's very kind - I enjoyed having you to stay1
Michael came to our rescue when accommodation for an entire theatre company fell through last minute. He could not have been kinder or more welcoming, and the cast members he put up said the loveliest things about him. His lovely home is also in the most perfect location, so ideal for anyone working at any of the Bath venues.

Thanks so much for your kind review!
Very comfy digs , lovely host great kitchen a nice stroll to the theatre 🎭
13th Aug 2025
Very comfortable and spacious room. Michael made me feel very welcome in his home.
The room was relatively cool despite the temperatures being very hot this weekend and the views from the bedroom are lovely.
Short walk of about 15-20 mins to The Egg/Theatre Royal and lots of nice places to eat and drink nearby. Would highly recommended.

A splendid stay as always with Michael. Such a charming host. The room is excellent with lovely views and a brisk 15-20 minutes walk to the theatre. I would definitely recommend.
17th Mar 2025
Thanks very much, Matt, very kind of you. Great to see you again!
I really enjoyed my stay at Michael's . The room was on the top floor of the building with an extremely interesting shop below, full of objet d'art. The room was spacious with a wonderfully comfortable bed and your own bathroom next door along with coffee and tea making facilities. Michael was an amazing host, very kind and helpful. The location was an ideal 20 minute walk on the flat and passed many independent shops to the theatre. I would highly recommend staying and look forward to returning

Thanks very much for the kind review!
I absolutely loved staying here. Super comfy bed, and a very nice bathroom. The whole house is wonderful, full of interesting treasures and books - I enjoyed browsing through the large collection of books on the shelves outside the bedroom. It's very nice having your own kettle and tea/coffee making facilities . Very nice walk into town. And I couldn't have asked for a nicer host than Michael! Very kind and friendly, lovely to chat to and made me feel very welcome. I will definitely book again!

Thank you Michael - that's really very kind!
Just the kindest man ever, Michael is extremely welcoming, generous, and lovely to talk to! The digs offer the whole attic floor to yourself, with a full bathroom, stunning views, and a kettle and tea. I had a lovely stay, and would 100% recommend!
6th May 2024
How kind, Daniel! Thank you very much. Hope the rest of the tour goes well!
This was a wonderful accommodation, only 15-20 mins walk to the theatre. A splendid attic room with effectively an ensuite bathroom. Michael was the perfect host and (a first for me) kindly picked me up on arrival. I would thoroughly recommend.
26th Feb 2024

Bruce, that's a very kind review - thanks. And i couldn't hope for a friendlier, more considerate guest.
I only met Michael the day I arrived but he was lovely and friendly. I really enjoyed my stay way up at the top of his house. So private and warm when it was chilly out. Thank you!
12th Apr 2023

Comfy bed, nice private space and bathroom, and a nice (non hilly!) walk to the theatre.

5th Apr 2023
Thanks for a very kind review - you'd be very welcome again!
Lovely, comfortable digs with plenty of space and an excellent shower. The accommodation is on the very top floor of a town house so there are lots of steps to climb, which is fine for me but may not be for everyone.
26th Mar 2023
No problems at all - great location to the theatre and Michael was very accommodating. Thanks!
5th Mar 2023
