An amazing hotel from start to finish. The staff cant be more friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and fresh looking with robes and slippers provided. A bottle of water is also provided on arrival alongside biscuits, teas and coffees. Lovely cooked breakfast in the morning. Bath main town is a short walk away (15 / 20 mins) but be aware that there is a steep hill returning back to the hotel if walking that might be a challege for those less mobile. Would highly recommend a stay here.

First time staying at this hotel after 10years and it’s a huge decline from back then. No longer a 5star hotel more a 3.5/4star. The front desk staff (Rory L’estrange) was terrible - lacking any customer service skills or warmth. Breakfast was slow and limited options, quality again a huge decline.

Such a beautiful hotel in a fantastic location for visiting Bath. A hotel of that size and age is bound to have areas that look tired, but best not to dwell on them and enjoy an amazing building, attractive gardens and a spa with a good choice of saunas, an outdoor jacuzzi and a nice pool. We had a very tasty cream tea which was located in the restaurant due to a wedding, so a bit soulless as a venue and quite expensive - but scones were excellent! Bedroom was in the old part of the hotel with some lovely period features. Bathroom needs a refresh but the Elemis soaps were gorgeous.

Expected more from a 5* hotel. Sofa bed wasn't made so we had to ring reception for spare pillows and duvet. It was quickly sorted but we felt like our son wasn't accounted for. The spare bed was very uncomfortable and you could feel every spring underneath. Aircon wasn't working so we weren't able to adjust the temperature, our bedroom was freezing in the morning!
