Great stay! Staff were helpful. Hotel is walking distance to main centre and it’s quiet. Lovely garden.
Limited parking but we were able to park.
Hotel rooms has its own character which adds to flavour but would say it needs refreshments.
Second time staying here. Expensive, and both breakfast and parking cost extra. Breakfast was good, but not excellent like some other stays we had on this trip. Parking is tight but doable. The Plate restaurant next door is very good for dinner.
Great location. Close walk to town centre and main attractions. Friendly staff.
Extremely warm in the room at night would have been our only complaint but at least fans are provided.

A little shabby but perfect location. Pillows flat and sheets older but bed was good. Staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast very good. One room facing the garden was peaceful and quiet while second room facing the street louder as street is busy. Location is a short walk to central Bath with many food options close by.
Love the property, my room was beautiful and it looked out to the back of the house onto the gardens. The staff was wonderful and the breakfast was great. My only problem was the wifi-it was not reliable which was an issue since this was a work trip and I had work to do while I was there.
Our stay was great. We picked this spot for the relatively quiet location, available parking, and walkability. It did not disappoint. The staff was kind and helpful, even offering to hold our leftover dinner in their refrigerator until we left the next day.

We stayed in the room called The Range which is in the basement, so a bit dark & no view.
The Breakfast was excellent.
When we arrived and checked in, the receptionist was very friendly and took us to our room which is nice. Room beautiful and clean. We didn’t have breakfast as we prefer to eat brunch. Would definitely go back and recommended for sure. Took us about 15 minutes to walk to train station and only about 10 minutes to shops.

Lovely room and a fabulous breakfast in the morning. Quite pricey to then have to pay extra for breakfast and parking on top too. We’ve stayed a few times and would definitely stay again.

The staff were very welcoming, obliging and informative about the area we were staying in. The room was very clean, loved the four poster bed, the view was great. The breakfast was amazing, plenty to choose from on the menu. Location was perfect, just a short walk into town and very close to the rugby grounds.

The room and bathroom were spotless, spacious, comfortable, and full of character. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was superb, and the service very good. All in all, a lovely place to stay.
Comfortable and adequate stay. Room was laid out well and had everything we needed. Very unsure how this hotel is 5 star as the facilities were lacking. The coffee making facilities in the room need replacing as they are very dated and dirty. We were locked out of the building on our first night because we had not been given a fob when we checked in; we had to call an emergency number to help get us into the building. When I enquired about getting a fob, it was explained that they were changing systems and that is why we had not been given one in the first place. For me, that is still not acceptable. The cleaner also didn’t respect the fact guests were still in rooms and was banging around for over an hour in the corridors. So much so to the point I had to leave our room and ask them to keep the noise down. For a five star hotel, we expected a lot more. I’d say this is more like a three star hotel due to the significantly lack of facilities.
Lovely room overlooking the beautiful garden, very good size and very clean. Staff were very friendly and a great breakfast.
Fantastic location and parking.
