Lovely place

What a delightful hotel! The front desk people were lovely and helpful. I was pleased with its location, the size of my double twin room was terrific. There were a few inconveniences - it was incredibly hot because I was on the top floor, so all the heat rose; and the floors creak awfully, which must be difficult for the people below me. But the room was well-appointed, the amenities excellent, and although I didn't eat in the breakfast room, it was being repainted when I arrived and it was beautiful. I would definitely recommend it.

The room was excellent, breakfast area and lounge also very good. The staff were friendly and helpful. Very happy to recommend and we will use again.

Nice B&B with parking near centre of Bath

Lovely B&B, great location about a 10 minute walk into the centre of Bath. We had to Orchid room which was in the basement so quite dark but big room, pretty clean. The first night we had an awful sleep because the bed was so creaky!! I pulled it away from the wall on the second night and it was slightly improved. Staff seemed friendly although we didn’t have much interaction with them apart from checking in/checking out. I would return despite a few little niggles

Perfect for a trip to Bath

The hotel was great. The staff so we're so pleasant and helpful, they also helped us choose a restaurant. The breakfast was lovely and plenty of it. The room was very comfortable, a lovely size overlooking the garden. It was a gentle walk from the centre of Bath. Would definitely stay there again and have recommended it to friends.

From the outside, looks a little tired, but once you are in the rooms are large, clean, and well-equipped. The staff were friendly and thoughtful. Little touches, like a handwritten personal card in the room, make you feel welcome. My only extra two wishes would be for a little more illumination near the window for the evening (a reading lamp, for instance) and there were effectively two dressing tables but not a proper desk and chair - which makes it quite hard to do any work. The location is excellent, and I shall definitely try to stay again when I next visit Bath.

Stunning and Charming , You must visit !

Just Wow ! We were in "The Range" Premier King Room. It was magnificent , The unique Range feature was amazing making the room unforgettable , with a huge stunning comfortable bed and beautiful furniture it felt more like being in a country manor. Very large double shower and the longest and deepest bath I have used, came with really nice toiletries, soft towels and bath robes. Considering the hotel is on a busy road the thick wooden shutters cut out all the noise. Breakfast was lovely , overlooking a pretty walled garden . Apologies for not remembering names but the lady we met on arrival was lovely , so welcoming and friendly, nothing was too much trouble and we felt like we were being greated by a friend. Also the young lady that took over in the evening was lovely and bar prices were very reasonable. Breakfast waitress was very attentive. There is parking in front of the hotel and on road parking right outside if the car park is full , you just have to give your car registration which they pass on for the permit. We were visiting The Bath Forum and it was only a 10 minute walk. Considering this Hotel is in Bath and the standard of everything it is great value for money. We will be back to try the other rooms.

Not what I was hoping for! It is rated as a 5-star hotel, which is ridiculous. But now I notice it calls itself a Guest House, which explains why there is no restaurant for either lunch or dinner. The parking arrangements were terrible, almost laughable, AND they charged me for it! My room was OK but rather tired.
