Lovely hotel in a great location.
This is a lovely hotel, set in beautiful gardens and only a short walk from the city centre. There were some issues with the breakfast service, but all the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Very good, little niggles
The welcome was warm and friendly, room was clean, luxurious,comfortable bed, good quality bedding. Stayed 2 nights, breakfast service on 1st morning was disorganised, we had to ask again for tea and coffee and toast never arrived. Much better 2nd morning. Tiles on outside pool area broken and in need of replacing but aware a refurb is imminent. Spa treatments were fabulous. On both mornings a fault meant no lights in bathroom - reported 1st morning and quickly fixed. 2nd morning reported prior to breakfast.

Nice hotel on the edge of city
The pool was lovely, the bar staff good however the quality of fish and chips with mushy peas was pretty abysmal, managed tpo pull the whole jar of peas out in one go, by the time it had gone back to be basically microwaved to death and stirred I had eaten my way through most of the small fish and chips. House wine at 11.50 a glass was a tad overpriced however it tasted ok. Staff were attentive

From the outside it looks amazing however the room itself is not the best. We had a heated towel rack that leaked water all over the floor and soaked the carpets. The sink in the bathroom had a huge crack running through it. For nearly £250 a night I expected more. The spa and wellness suite was fantastic however.

Beautiful hotel building and gardens.
The hotel is in a beautiful Georgian building with stunning gardens. Our garden room was large and comfortable with a lovely view. It could do with a lick of paint on the woodwork. The hotel is dog friendly and it’s very convenient to be able to walk the dog in the grounds.

Very Grand hotel in large grounds. Perfect base to explore Bath. Hotel a bit tired overall. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Spa small and functional but also could do with renovation. Breakfast was acceptable but poorly organised with staff struggling to cope. Overall a pricey hotel living on past reputation and in need of a good overhaul to justify pricing.

Very welcoming friendly staff. The hotel was very beautiful and to a nice standard. The only thing is some of the soa facilities like the outside jacuzzi, are in need of repair as dirty walls and broken or shabby furnishings. The changing rooms didn’t have straighteners which was surprising! So if these things were improved upon the guests would rate the hotel much higher. !

Wonderful. Highly recommended. Excellent staff.
Amazing experience with the hotel and the spa itself. Olde Worlde and the service by all the staff was first class. Always on hand. Hotel was very clean and tidy. Wife found it a little chilly though. The only downside was the cost of the food and drinks! Astronomical! Decided to eat and drink elsewhere after that, but apart from this, it was an excellent experience. Would 100% recommend a stay, apart from the food and drink prices!! (The food was excellent though - fine dining at its best!). Please could you put sugar in the rooms please.
