    All the stairs! bit of a struggle to get albeit small cases up to the top floor.for four mature ladies but a lovely apartment when we got in it.

    It was a perfect location for me and my friends in a lovely area of Bath

    The actual flat is in the 3rd upper floor, with a narrow windy staircase inside the flat right behind the main door. Not a problem for young or middle aged adults, but definitely not suitable for elderly guests who don’t like climbing stairs or for little children who don’t like falling down the same stairs again. The WiFi was okay at some times, absolutely useless at most times.

    Rooms were big enough for me and my family (5 adults). Cleanliness of the appliances was very good, floor cleanliness was okay. Got a full set of pans, pots, cups, plates and cutleries for home cooking.

    When we did our reservation we did not know that the apartment was on the 3rd floor without a lift. The staircase from the 2nd to the 3rd floor was rather narrow for our suitcases.

    The location was the best possible. Everything was 10 min max walking distance!!

    Very convenient location for Bath attractions, but very challenging stairs

    The stairs are not to be underestimated. This building is 250ish years old. While the apartment has been nicely updated, the structure limits how convenient it can be made. We carried 3 40 pound suitcases up 4 flights of stairs, and another flight of tight, corner-bending stairs up to the apartment. This by itself just about disqualifies this place for a future stay, though no fault of the owner. There was one small fan, but 2 bedrooms plus the living area; 3 fans would seem appropriate. The only way to get cool air into the apartment in summer is to open windows, which unsurprisingly admits flies, but no fly swatter was to be found (and the maintenance company confirmed that no fly swatter would be provided). The loo seat came off, missing a screw. The maintenance company came to repair it the next day, but a broken loo seat was included in comments in a review a year ago, so it seems that the issue has not been fully addressed timely. While having the parking pass was wonderful, finding a parking spot was a chore, no fault of the owner.

    Darcy's Pride is located centrally and is convenient to most of Bath's major attractions. The photos give a very accurate idea of the interior of the apartment. The apartment is quite functional for 2 couples or a family of 4, and can accomodate up to 6 if the fold out sofa is used for sleeping. The beds were comfortable, and with the windows open at night the apartment cooled down nicely even on a hot summer evening. The parking pass was much appreciated.

    nothing to report

    The location was central in Bath and ideal for exploring the sights and had the benefit of permit parking very close to the property. Although my party thought it was great and we did not think this was an issue, I think elderly people or anyone with mobility issues may struggle with the number of stairs to the apartment particularly the last flight within the the apartment its self. We all agreed the beds were extremely comfy and would certainly recommend this as a place to stay.

    Had 3 flights of stairs up to the flat - and would definitely not be suitable for anyone with any type of disabilities - as was quite a trek with suitcases in tow..

    Beautiful comfortable boutique flat. Had everything we needed. Was within walkable distance of nearly all of Bath and also in a lovely area with several small bars and restaurants nearby. Had a fantastic time at the property

    The only downside is that the second bedroom is quite small. It has a king size bed in it, but it takes up almost the whole room! Certainly not ideal if 4 people were staying in the flat, but OK if only 1 person stays in the small bedroom. The other bedroom is a very good size, also with a king size bed and plenty of room to move around. The flat was very cold when we arrived, and as there was no one to show us into the flat we had to figure out how to work the heating, but this was not difficult. We just had to put up with being cold for a few hours, until the flat warmed up, however this is, after all, very much a 'first world problem'.

    The location was really excellent - a minute's walk from The Circus and very near The Royal Crescent and the centre of the city. The decor was quirky and lovely and the beds very comfy.

    lighting was poor in lounge and found the bed too big in bedroom 2 with no storage - had to climb over partner to get to door!

    the sofa didn’t suit 4 adults - rather squashed - also the parking permit was very welcome

    Nothing on the listing about it being a top floor without an elevator. we managed but anyone who has a problem with stairs would find it extremely difficult.

    The amenities were good and everything needed in the apartment.

    No mention when booking of the steep stairs up to the apartment and I had my 82 year old Mum with me. 10am check out when most hotels are 11am. Had to strip own beds before leaving even though we had paid a £60 cleaning fee! Literature said they would charge £25 if all cups etc were not put away after washing. 2nd bedroom not a double as have to climb over one another to get out of bed.

    Good location for visiting Bath and nice decor.

    Darcys pride is a very stylish apartment, but there are a few things that just we found very annoying. Firstly the second bedroom isn't really a double, you have climb over the bed to open and close the blinds. Secondly most of the door close heavily causing lots of noise. The windows are period so you can hear all the noise at night and there was lots of noise due to the ground floor being a bistro and bars nearby. Bathroom is very stylish, let down by toilet seat being very loose. There were lots of rules make sure you read them, they missed off needing you to strip the beds but they email you the day before to tell you to do it via email. Lastly, its a very dark apartment, even with all the lights on in the lounge and bathroom.

    Darcys pride is in a great location, you can walk to everything easily. We had a disabled parking space right outside the door which was great. It's very stylish and the main bedroom is really big and there is a nice kitchen. Its a pleasant place to stay for a few days, wouldn't want to stay any longer.

    I went to a lot of trouble to find accommodation with parking and expected a parking permit outside the property. When we arrived there was nowhere to park and when I called the helpline number I was very rudely told that I should have read the ratings which showed there wasn’t any parking. Well, there was when I booked! The permit was removed later but nobody told us, if they had I would have cancelled!! There is no “front desk”; there is no mention in property details of the fact there are 60 steps up to the property, including some tight cornered ones near the top. Bad enough just walking up and down but a nightmare with luggage! The beds were rock hard and the second bedroom was so tiny that you can’t walk past the end of the bed! We couldn’t get the hob to work and FYI as a matter of health and safety it should be mentioned that it is an induction hob. In case you didn’t know, induction hobs are dangerous to anyone with a heart pacemaker - which my husband has. The bath towels provided are so small they barely wrap around you, not what I expected at this price. The hinges on the toilet seat were broken, making using the loo an unpleasant experience! Finally the freezer section in the fridge was so iced up that we couldn’t use it Overall we did not enjoy our time there and do not recommend

    The location. The apartment was clean
