An amazing gluten free breakfast. Lovely lady stayed with us to go through options and we were not just handed an allergy file.

The Z Hotel Bath
Pretty faultless even without a window! The hotel had a great feel to it. Reception had a cool vibe and one evening they had a cheese and wine evening. Very central. Clean. Long stay parking less than 10 mins away. I'd definately stay again. Bravo to the team running the place 👏👏👏
