Appletree Guest House
Presided over by the wonderfully attentive Ling, who cooks every breakfast to order, from stuffed French toast to kippers, and once posted a guest's forgotten keys the very next day, this antique-filled Bath guesthouse sits in a peacefully quiet neighbourhood just a short stroll from the city centre, with spotlessly clean, comfortably furnished rooms and a convivial breakfast table where conversation flows as freely as the coffee.
