The hotel is situated in a beautiful green area, an easy stroll into the town center. The rooms offer a king-sized 4-poster bed, wheelchair access, and a walk-in shower with all the essential facilities, though the pricing could be more competitive. The service is mainly friendly, especially from a dedicated staff member named Millie, yet some delays were evident in the restaurant. The location is convenient, nestled in lovely gardens and within walking distance of major sights. The dining experience was satisfactory with individually prepared cooked selections, served on piping hot plates. The facilities are adequate, although could benefit from some enhancements.

I must say, our stay at this hotel was a rollercoaster of experiences. The rooms offered fabulous views over the Bath skyline, with great views of the gardens but fell slightly short in bathroom facilities. The location was like a hidden gem on top of a hill amidst vast gardens but required a short cab ride to reach the town center. Dining options had hits and misses, offering a great option like bucks fizz but also having some disappointments like rock-hard sausage. Overall, a stay with highs and lows!

The hotel is situated on top of a hill amidst beautiful greenery and vast gardens, offering a peaceful setting close to the town center. The rooms are equipped with lovely Elemis products in the bathroom and feature a comfy bed, but unfortunately, some are in a deplorable condition. The service was overall good, with great service in the restaurant, but there were lapses in communication. Dining offered nice options, including Mexican dishes, though some aspects needed improvement. The location is perfect for those who enjoy a serene atmosphere just outside the bustling historic city center.

The hotel sits on a beautiful green hillside, offering a serene setting, but the dining experience could use improvement despite some great options. The rooms are cozy and luxurious with plush feather pillows and Elemis products, but the service lacks that premium touch. The location is convenient, just a 10-minute walk from the town center.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The rooms were cozy and had all the facilities I needed. The service was top-notch, especially thanks to Millie who went above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect. The location was ideal, close to the main attractions and set in stunning grounds. However, the dining options were a bit stingy, and for the price paid, I expected a bit more.

The hotel is nestled in a quiet backwater with stunning grounds and a beautiful green hillside view.

The hotel had very comfortable larger than average twin beds in rooms that were in very poor condition for the money. The staff were friendly and polite, but the service in the restaurant was bizarre. The location was close enough to walk into the center but marred by what looked like a small homeless encampment nearby. The dining experience included piping hot plates but was lacking in options for tea/coffee. The facilities were average.
