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."

The house had every facility we needed for our group of us oldies their mum and two teenage girls who slept in bunk beds. Good value
The house was lush and the beds were amazing
There were some nice touches Loved the fact that there were toiletries and toilet rolls in abundance and a filter tap for water
It was first time in Bath for our Canadian children and they loved the different floors and the furnishing
Wi-Fi was brilliant and our hosts kept us informed of the key and entry to property

Beautiful property to high spec. Great location to central Bath
5.0
Murphys Place was perfect for my family of 6. The home is in very good condition, comfortable and in a great location. You can walk to everything, even the supermarket.
5.0
We stayed 3 nights in Bath after a week in London, and the house was perfect in terms of size and amenities. Our only complaint was the NEST system kept resetting to some preset eco zone setting, and it was cold in the house, especially for a 2 year old in winter. That said, the property manager immediately texted back and tried to help us solve the problem. We highly recommend the stay, and we also advise to be aware of the climate control.
5.0

Property was great for our family of 5. Great location, easily able to walk to the downtown and restaurants. Very close to large car park for parking our rental car.
5.0
This location is the perfect spot if you want to go away for a long weekend with kids. We parked our car and walked the entirety of our trip. (Every attraction was an 8-12 minute walk.)
The place was clean, updated, stocked with books. The bathroom had the most amazing soaking tub and a vanity in the master suite. We loved it.
