What a fantastic Hotel this is, set in a beautiful hill side location with only a 10 minute walk in to Baths city centre. The staff at the hotel are amazing, always kind, friendly and efficient. We always pay a little bit more to have a garden view and wake up with the sun shining on our balcony. The food is excellent too. The full English breakfast is highly recommended and served in a beautiful room with grand pillars and doors that open out on to a terrace. The same with the evening meals too. We would especially like to thank the manager again for such good service at breakfast and also Gaille in reception who’s always exceptional. We can’t wait to visit again…

On the hottest day of the year I was placed in a room where the air conditioning was not working: fear not, they gave me a fan that looked as though it had not been dusted since the 80’s when the rickety thing was bought! But what detracted from the warm air circulated around the room by the noisy relic was the springy uncomfortable mattress…seemingly purchased in the same decade. The room was not clean: a previous occupier’s pills lay scattered on the floor…and they left the gift of a long strand of black hair in the shower. Generous. Was breakfast the redeeming feature? No! Over-cooked eggs, under cooked hash brown, and deep fried sausage. Nothing about this start to the day screamed “Happy Friday”, more like “get out whilst you can”. Which I did!

Lovely place but our room could have done with a refurb as some of the woodwork around the bathroom door had started to rot. The spa was amazing so we would stay again just ask for a different room.

A lovely hotel in a great setting, but a little rough around the edges in the rooms. And the long wait at breakfast, and the order when eventually it arrived was wrong and lukewarm. Not great. Some friendly staff on check in, and the concierge was great. But overall, not at the level you’d expect for the star rating and the price.

Whilst the exterior and the grounds were lovely, the rooms show the past glory of the hotel. The rooms are in need of modernisation. Net curtains would be beneficial for more privacy. Check-in was speedy with a friendly receptionist, as well as check-out. Breakfast was nice but could do with more variety, perhaps more youghurts and other cold cuts and breads. The host at breakfast was very professional.

My only complaint would be that the evening dining menu was pretty limited. But the restaurant staff were attentive and excellent. A couple of simple items added to the menu wouldn't go amiss alongside the fine dining.

I did not eat either breakfast or any other meals at the hotel. However, my check in was polite and professional. My room was clean and tidy. But the paint work was very chipped and in need of redecoration. The mini fridge was switched on but did not keep anything cold. However the spa was excellent. All the facilities, swimming pool, gym and other facilities were great. I had a deluxe massage in the spa which was absolutely excellent. I would certainly recommend considering the spa treatments.
