Testimonials

Stayed here as a group of 12 for a hen weekend. Great location, really nice and spacious and lovely views. Great to have the options of single or double beds in some rooms. Bath Holiday Rentals were really helpful and responsive and we were able to get a slightly early checkin and later checkout which was really appreciated. The house was well stocked, I would just recommend bringing extra toilet paper/dishwasher tablets/kitchen roll as there wasn't quite enough for 12 people for 2 nights. I would recommend staying here for big groups!
Haystack Lucy - 2023-07-09
Lovely house and amazing location - right in the centre with everything at your finger tips - but quite a lot of noise pollution from surrounding bars and streets. Really helpful guides and information provided by the company, and easily reachable at the office by phone during the working week for pre arrival questions.
Haystack Rosie - 2023-06-04
Really enjoyed the stay, thank you for all the information that you provided very useful. Also the accommodation was very well catered for from things like glasses to towels. Also thank you for the chocolates and coffee, everyone enjoyed the coffee each morning.
Haystack Michael - 2023-03-26
We had a great stay, the house was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Perfect location in the centre of town.
Haystack Abigail - 2023-01-23
We had a great stay for a weekend, very central Bath (can be noisy on Friday/Saturday night, but to be expected with location). All the beds were very comfortable, and the bathrooms perfect. Great communication with host, no issues with stay. Overall great stay and would recommend.
Haystack Amy - 2022-10-23
Perfect place for my hen do. Great location, we could get to everywhere by just walking. The house was lovely and exactly what we wanted.
Haystack Francesca - 2022-10-09
We absolutely loved our stay at Haystack the location was perfect and walking distance for everything we didn’t need our car the whole stay. We would highly recommend and could not fault our stay and would defiantly return. Thank you for the great customer service, nothing was a problem from booking until checkout.
Haystack Kayleigh - 2022-09-04
Peter was so helpful, giving all details needed to get to the Haystack. On arrival to the property we were amazed at how lovely it is, just like the photos, simply a beautiful
house. It is a perfect place for large group bookings and so central to bars, restaurants, shops and of course the Spa. Wish we could've stayed longer and would love to
come back in the not too distant future.
Haystack was everything we could've wished for and more, thank you Bath Holiday Rentals.
Haystack Carol - 2022-05-22

Haystack Rosie - 2021-10-04
Location, Location, Location! The location of this place is perfect.. near to the town and all the pubs, bars and restaurants! The place itself was beautiful ; decor was lovely and the large dining room leading into the kitchen was perfect for large groups. It is above an indian restaurant where we ate; really worth a visit! House was really clean and had everything we needed :)
Haystack Natalie - 2021-09-19
An absolutely gorgeous place to stay! It is located in the most perfect location, it’s spacious and beautifully decorated. Can’t recommend highly enough! X
Haystack Georgina - 2021-07-04
“This is an excellent place in the heart of Bath. It suited our extended family very well and was in immediate vicinity of good restaurants shopping and other facilities. Lived up totally to expectations.”
Haystack Robert - 2020-08-22
“The place was exactly like how it looked in the pictures and is located right in the heart of Bath. The rooms are brilliant with views of the surrounding hills and the the kitchen is very well equipped. The shopping centre, Abbey and Pulteney Bridge are all 5 minutes outside the place making it super convenient to get around. The only thing to check with first hand is on how the heating in the house works, incase you want to keep temperatures controlled at all times. Apart from that it was a beautiful stay.”
Haystack Beth - 2019-12-06
"Great apartment in Bath for my sister's hen do. BHR were helpful from start to finish and everyone commented on how lovely the apartment was, how comfy the beds were and what a great location it was. Thank you :-)"
Haystack Verity - 2019-09-20
Bath Holiday Rentals were extremely helpful and accommodating when making the reservation and the apartment did not disappoint. The check in procedure was great, I was met immediately and given a parking permit and all the details of the apartment and locale. Check out was flexible which was fantastic. The location was great, right in the centre of Bath, staggering distance from all the restaurants and nightlife which was what we wanted as we were there for a hen do. We stayed in and cooked on night one and the apartment was well stocked with kitchen equipment and glasses for everyone. Everyone commented on how comfortable the beds were and despite being so central we slept well (although I did have a bedroom at the back of the house!). If I had ANY negative comment it would be that the shower room on the first floor was obviously a converted cupboard of some description because it was teeny and the shower head kept falling out of the holder BUT that tiny detail hardly effected our stay which was fantastic. Would highly recommend the property and Bath Rentals on the whole.
Haystack Gascoine - 2019-09-09
“Came here for a hen party and the house was amazing, very clean, close to centre of Bath and the communication was excellent”
Haystack Lauren - 2019-05-09
Can't recommend this place enough; booked for a friends hen do, and we couldn't have asked for anything better. Perfectly central location, the property was brilliantly decorated and kitted out, welcome gift which was a nice touch, communication throughout was excellent, and checking in and out was an absolute breeze. 10/10 would recommend a stay here.
Haystack James - 2019-03-25
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all of your help in letting us stay at the Haystack this weekend. The house was absolutely perfect for our occasion and Sara could not have been more helpful on Friday.
Haystack Jane - 2018-10-09
Beautiful Home... Centrally located with easy access to the beauties and wonders of Bath ❤️❤️❤️ We loved our stay at in Bath and we are definitely coming back . We were a group of 11 ladies and the house was spacious enough for us and did not give us a feeling of being cramped in.
Kitchen was well equipped but things like a blender would be a much welcomed addition to the house. Also a nice coffee machine would be appreciated for such a grand home. Also a small hoover would be nice if we wanted to do a quick clean.
Bedroom were very comfortable , mattress were perfect but the pillows were really not nice and too soft . Spare bathroom floor mats would have been welcomed.
Internet was very bad and did not work during our 6 days stay.
Sara and Alexia were very professional and prompt with email replies. We had a problem with the dish washer and it was rectified quickly.
All in all we loved our 6 days here and will definitely be coming back .
Haystack jane - 2018-08-06
Such a great location. Really thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This was a prime location and accommodation for a large party, such as a hen do. Would really recommend. The house was beautiful.
Haystack Jo G - 2018-06-21
Top pad for a city break in beautiful Bath We were a group of 14 (age range 22yrs - 50ish!!) and we could not fault the location, the layout of the apartment, the facilities (although one shower room was a bit smelly) and the attention to detail. Could not really be much closer to all the shops/restaurants and bars. It was quiet enough for a city apartment, felt very safe and secure. Clean and beautifully presented. We are not a fussy bunch of birds but equally like things to be of a good standard. We got what we paid for and were very satisfied. Great value for money!
Haystack Jane - 2017-11-30
We booked this property for my sisters hen Do and it was amazing!!! The location was excellent being super central and close to all the beautiful shops, sights, spas and restaurants Bath has to offer. Parking is a small problem but to be expected being so centrally located, just plan in advance where to park - we used a site where you could rent private parking spaces instead of council car parks which was a lot cheaper! Otherwise great house, fab location, expensive but we felt worth it. Would highly recommend The Haystack!
Haystack Kirsty S - 2017-06-13
Such a great house, very well stocked with excellent communal space and located so centrally. Would highly recommend for a hen do/girlie weekend!
Haystack Emma - 2017-06-07
We had a great hen weekend at the Haystack. The location is excellent, right in the centre of Bath. The house is beautiful, spacious, well equipped & clean. The layout of the house makes it really sociable. The owners were very informative and helpful. I would definitely recommend the Haystack.
Haystack Jo L - 2017-05-03
Gorgeous apartment with great decor. Everything you could need provided. Lovely and warm even over a very wet and chilly weekend in November. Extremely central location with everything only a short stroll away. Would thoroughly recommend!
Haystack Helen - 2016-11-23
"Another fabulous stay at the Haystacks, bang in the centre of Bath. I'd forgotten how luxurious the bedrooms and the bedlinen were! And everyone at the agency super-helpful and charming. See you next year."
Haystack Natasha - 2016-10-23
Haystacks is the perfect house for a large group. Every room is finished to a high quality, so everyone in the group was happy with their space. The location couldn't be better: only a short walk from the station and literally a stone's throw from the street with the best clubs and bars. It was ideal. I would recommend it to anyone.
Haystack Charlotte - 2016-08-11
Stayed here for the weekend for my sisters Hen party and absolutely loved it!! The house was stunning and perfect for what we needed. Pretty pricey but worth every penny! The kitchen and lounge were huge and perfect for large groups. Definitely recommend!!
Haystack Sophie - 2016-06-15
We had an absolutely fabulous stay at the Haystack. The location was perfect with everything within walking distance, especially our favourite bar Sub 13!
There was plenty of space for everyone to relax and the bedrooms were all lovely with modern decor.
We would definitely recommend staying here for anyone that wants a bit of luxury in the centre of Bath. Thank you!
Haystack Katy - 2016-03-22
We stayed at the house for my 30th Birthday. It was gorgeous and had everything that we could possibly need. It was in a great location and we could easily walk to everything in the town. I would highly recommend staying here.
Haystack Nicola - 2015-11-27
Fabulous apartment in the most amazingly central location. Bedrooms were lovely, really good quality bedlinen and stunning views over Bath. Friendly, helpful team managed to arrange everything for us at a day's notice.
Haystack Natasha - 2015-10-26
Twelve of us recently stayed at the Haystack in Bath and we would highly recommend it. The flat is large, airy, very clean and fully equipped with everything we could have wanted for our stay. We were greeted by Olivia from Bath Rentals who was very helpful and had left wine and chocolates which was a lovely touch. The haystack is in a great location and although we only stayed for a weekend the fact that we were so central allowed us to fit loads in to the time.
Haystack Lisa - 2015-09-25
We had a great hen weekend in Bath and loved our stay at Haystack! The flat was lovely and very central for bars and activities in the city. Your staff were very helpful – we had an initial concern because the previous guests had turned off the refrigerator, but it came back on quickly and the staff from Bath Holiday Rentals were great, both about reassuring us that it would be fixed if necessary and following up with us a few hours after we arrived to make sure it was cooling off. The flat had plenty of room for our group of 10. I’d highly recommend Haystack to other groups.
Haystack Jamie - 2015-08-18
My partner and I stayed here for a mini break away and absolutely loved it. The house is pristine, beautifully decorated, warm and couldn't be in a better location, just a stone's throw away from all the wonderful restaurants and attractions Bath has to offer.

We both would thoroughly recommend this beautiful home to anyone who fancies a lovely, quiet getaway but who would also like to enjoy the hustle and bustle of Bath!
Haystack Naomi J - 2015-02-16
We booked Haystack for a hen weekend and it was so lovely the bride-to-be cried when she arrived!! Having never been to Bath this was the perfect base to explore the city from, with lots of bars and restaurants close by. The house is fully stocked with all the kitchen wear you could ever need, and a dishwasher so no-one is stuck with washing up duties! Booking was quick and simple and we were personally greeted by the lovely Olivia who helped carry our many bags and made sure we were all settled in. Thank you for a wonderful weekend!"
Haystack Lucy - 2014-12-01
Amazing apartment. Beautifully decorated, great facilities and brilliant location. Customer service was outstanding. A perfect weekend. Thank you.
Haystack Sarah J - 2014-11-28
The flat was absolutely perfect, everyone was very impressed with the standard of the accommodation, spotlessly clean and of a very high spec. Everything we needed was provided, even the location.

Thanks again, I would definitely return
Haystack Debbie B - 2014-11-05
We had a fab time, the house is beautifully presented and very well equipped, it had everything we needed. The other massive bonus was how central the house is, we were could walk everywhere, explore and enjoy lovely Bath. We would book again in a heartbeat- great house!!!
Haystack Catherine R - 2014-09-26
If you are looking for glamour, comfort and privacy then look no further than The Haystack.
I stayed here for a friends Hen Night and it was perfect! The location - excellent and views over Bath stunning.

The Service from phone manner to check in was welcoming, organised and friendly - even
Leaving us Maltesers & wine! The decor - it's given me some ideas for my house and the kitchen has more appliances and glassware than John Lewis! Very Tasteful !!

Would I stay here again? Without a doubt - infact, I wish it was my very own home! I could move on tomorrow!
Any negatives?
Couldn't get the dishwasher to work.
Bathrooms smelt a little damp on arrival.
I phone dock 5 (not 4) and I have I phone 4.
And the worst part about it was that, We had to leave!

A social party house that is perfect for anybody who wants to entertain and soak up the City!

We very much enjoyed our stay at Haystacks and would gladly stay there again. The accommodation was top notch and in such a great position at the centre of Bath. There were 12 of us in total and the property made it so we never felt cramped and everyone enjoyed it.

Haystack Ian - 2014-07-10
My friends arranged and booked Haystack's for my Hen Weekend and I had a wonderful time. The house was perfect for our needs, with lots of single beds so no one had to share, the kitchen was better equipped than my own and I loved the style of the house, I have even pained my own bedroom Pavilion Grey! The location was perfect for what we wanted.

Some noise is to be expected as it is right in the City Centre but you wouldn't go to a city centre town house and expect it to be peaceful. The rooms at the rear of the house incidentally could hear no noise at all.

We were only supplied with one toilet roll in each bathroom and with 12 girls they soon went, but we were self catering and although it would of been nice to have more, I wouldn't expect to have been left a supply so it was no problem to nip and get our own.

I felt the house was as described on the website and exceed our expectations. It's a shame that 1 member of our group felt it wasn't value for money but that didn't represent the opinion of everyone else and we really did have a brilliant time.
Haystack Karen W - 2014-06-27

We had a great hen weekend and the bride to be loved it - the house was simply perfect!

Haystack Cathryn N - 2014-06-24

We all really enjoyed our weekend there and found it a fantastic venue as a base for our celebrations and explorations of Bath.

Haystack Louise S - 2014-05-22

What a great stay it was! Olivia has been upmost helpful in the whole process.

The girls thought the house was fabulous, it's a fantastic location and was extremely comfortable.

I loved the toiletries left for every individual, I thought it was a great touch.

The house was fully equip with everything we needed. Beautifully decorated and furnished. I would most definitely recommend it to any large group visiting the beautiful city of bath.

Haystack Laura B - 2014-03-17
This property was everything and more than needed for our special Hen weekend. Not only is the property decorated to a high standard it is also a very clean and tidy, warm, comfortable and located perfectly. We got greater by the lovely Olivia who showed us the property and gave us a pack about the property and detail of favourite places to go in Bath. In the kitchen was left 2 bottles of wine amd a large boc pf chocolate s which was a lovely touch. kitchen is fully equipped, I even managed to cook a 3 course meal for the 10 of us with no issues (the dishwasher really helped there). In each bedroom there was very comfortable beds with high quality duvet and pillows made for a great night sleep (even with restaurant and late night bars nearby). The 3 bathrooms were clean and had shampoo, shower gel and soap for every guest). The only issues I think we had was one of the showers was a little small and there was not outside space (apart from on the main street) but once settle this did not bother us at all. All in all the most fantastic weekend any Hen could wish for. I will definitely be using bath holiday rentals on my next visit to bath.
Haystack Josie - 2014-02-28

We had a fantastic stay at the Haystack. The place was really nicely decked out with a huge amount of living space relative to beds. We were 12 people and didn't feel in any way crowded.

We did some serious cooking which the house stood up to with only a couple of minor issues which Alexa at Bath holiday rentals immediately committed to sorting out.

The position was perfect for us, a bunch of 30 odds catching up for some nice food and a bit of mellow partying. Very central with a club downstairs and everything within walking distance. Because of Haystack's thick walls you can enjoy the club when you want but don't have to suffer from it in terms of noise. We had a few cars with us which I would avoid next time as there is no parking. There is a parking permit for one car which is helpful if you need to bring supplies but aside from this parking is expensive or out of town. We did find out afterwards that you can park to unload on the pavement in front which makes everything a lot simpler. It doesn't look like you can do this but you can.

All in all a great stay and we wouldn't hesitate to go back, especially as the guys at Bath holiday Rentals are an absolute pleasure to deal with.

Haystack Martin B - 2014-01-27
We had a truly fantastic stay in Bath - Haystacks is spacious, warm, comfortable and decorated to an amazingly high standard, which was robust enough to withstand the full quota of 14 guests (including lots of children!). The location is unbeatable - right in the heart of Bath, just a minute's walk to Milsom Street, restaurants literally across the road, and Victoria park (for the kids) within easy (walking) reach. Haystacks is fully equipped with everything you could need, and due to some disastrous weather, the washer/dryer was a godsend. The service we received from Bath Holiday Rentals was second to none, and the little extras (milk, wine, tea, coffee, cereal etc) on arrival made all the difference. We would definitely rent Haystacks again and would certainly use the services of Bath Holiday Rentals again - the quality of the whole experience was exceptional.
