The hotel is in an excellent central location, just a short walk from some of the main sights you would want to see in the city. Getting around was very easy. The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming and genuinely lovely throughout my stay. I stayed on my own with my dog and we were given a very sweet room with a city view. The room was small but perfectly sufficient and comfortable for us. Breakfast was very good, with items selected from a menu and served quickly. The service was efficient and friendly, and the dishes were fresh and tasty. Overall, I was very happy with my stay and would happily choose this hotel again on my next visit.

A good place to stay in Bath

Newly remodeled rooms in pub/inn. Quiet and comfortable and in a great location for exploring Bath. Breakfast was also good. Parking was a bit inconvenient and expensive.
