Close by is Milsom Street, Bath's main shopping thoroughfare, which leads down towards the Pump rooms, the Roman Baths, thermae spa and Bath Abbey and in the opposite direction is the famous Circus and Royal Crescent, set in front of lovely Royal Victoria Park where you can enjoy miniature golf, botanical gardens, hot air balloon trips and a children's outdoor play area. Whatever you choose to do, shopping, sightseeing or entertainment, most pursuits are a pleasant stroll of about 5-10 minutes away from your apartment. Adjacent to the property is Mantra Indian fine cuisine restaurant.
Charlotte Street car park is a 5 minutes' walk away or the park and ride bus stops around the corner from the property. The Bath Spa Railway and bus station are a 10-15 minute walk.

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.
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 .
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!
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!
Thanks again, I would definitely return
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.
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.
We had a great hen weekend and the bride to be loved it - the house was simply perfect!
We all really enjoyed our weekend there and found it a fantastic venue as a base for our celebrations and explorations of Bath.
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.
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.
