Built of golden Bath stone in 1874 by the architect J. Elkinton Gill, the award-winning Ayrlington is a handsome, listed Victorian house with exceptional views of the city and its medieval abbey. Bath's magnificent historic sites, specialty shops, and excellent restaurants are all just a 5–10-minute level stroll away. The Ayrlington received a Silver-Gilt certificate at the 2014 Bath in Bloom awards. The elegant and tranquil interior is a graceful blend of English and Italian artwork, fine fabrics, and Egyptian cotton bed linens. All nineteen bedrooms have individual themes and are beautifully furnished; some have four-poster beds. The Ayrlington also offers a residents' bar and secure private parking at an additional £10. 00 per day. The hotel is entirely nonsmoking and does not accept children under five years of age.
