Bath is one of the most eccentric destinations in England, an ancient city full of ghosts and legends, and an ideal place to escape from all the worries of your busy life. A few days' stay in this stunning city makes a perfect change of scenery - see and feel its Georgian and Victorian architecture breathing with harmony, let its museums and antique shops, markets, bars and restaurants, traditional and alternative health treatments, to replenish your energy and to restore your peace of mind...
Terence Rodrigues, our Club Committee member, is fortunate enough to own a lovely Grade II listed Georgian house right in the centre of it - two minutes from the Roman Baths, the Abbey and all the cultural sites of this splendid city. It is currently being rented out for short lets though Bath Holiday Homes, but Terence may consider letting it at approximately half the price the agency charges to the members of the Club and those applying through this advert.
