Lauras Townhouse Apartments Lansdown Slope Townhouse

We really enjoyed our stay at Laura’s Townhouse as a group of friends. The location was perfect – very walkable to the centre and it felt safe and secure. All the beds were very comfortable and the bedding was excellent quality. The house itself has been well looked after, was very clean, and the kitchen had all the basics we needed – plenty of cutlery, crockery and glasses etc as well as tea, coffee, milk. Bathrooms were a good spec too, with soap and shower gel provided. The drawing room was comfortable and spacious.

Everything was fabulous. The only tiny gripe was that the pale curtains didn’t block out much of the sunshine which we were lucky to enjoy during our stay. But this is a very minor thing and we would definitely choose Laura’s Townhouse again :-)

The host met us at the property with the keys and showed us around and where everything was. House is beautiful and comfortable and has everything you need across three floors. There were even a few essentials provided including milk teabags and biscuits which was much appreciated after our long journey. The house was very central so we walked from the station and could get everywhere we wanted to go on foot from where we stayed. Overall it was a perfect place to stay for a weekend away with friends 😀

No probs

Great location, spacious clean house, comfy bed and good showers.

I stayed in early October 2022 with 5 female friends. Location very good for getting to the sights around Bath. Property itself was beautifully furnished and decorated - equipment had been well thought about. Showers etc worked. Beds were comfortable and the views from the top floor bathroom across the valley were beautiful in the early autumn. Kitchen was very well equipped and we were about 7 minutes walk away from Waitrose. The housekeeper was extremely helpful and the house was very conveniently located. The walk from the railway station was probably about 15 minutes and partly uphill - although that was not a problem for us. I liked the first floor sitting room - it meant that we had a comfortable spot to chat away from the ground floor kitchen/diner. Lots of bathroom and WC provision in the house. with 2 shower/bathrooms and 1 en suite bedroom (I think - although I am not sure about the number of en suites). All in all very well designed within the limitations of a very old building with, I would assume, some planning restrictions as I believe is it Grade II listed. We found the house cold when we stayed and although the owners responded quickly to our concerns, and contractors attended the next day, it wasn't possible to get the heating problem fixed when we were there. We though this responsiveness was very commendable. There were fans - presumably to deal with the heat in the summer, but sadly no portable heater to ameliorate our problem. Central Bath is very compact and it was about 7 minutes walk to the Assembly Rooms and Costume Museum (although this museum) is going to relocate shortly. About 10 to 15 minutes to the Roman Baths. We had asked if we could leave our bags earlier and met the housekeeper there who was very helpful. As we were a group of 6, it was helpful to have 3 keys so that we could do things separately, although we had a mass trip to the Roman Baths and stayed more than the average of 1.5 hours.

There was some street noise from passing traffic (about 5 to 6 pm) and pedestrians (especially late Saturday night/early Sunday morning). That is not the fault of the property though. To counter that, then the first floor sitting room was helpful. I'd forgotten to take some toiletries eg shower gel, but fortunately Waitrose came to the rescue. I think anyone with mobility problems would struggle with the stairs. Most of us took the train, but one of our number had to travel by car at the last moment and the nearest long term parking was at Charlotte Street which was probably about 15 mins away on foot. I think it was all residents' permits in the immediate area and so I am unsure whether it might have been possible to park near the house for, say up to half an hour to unload, which might be an issue for some people.
