Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of luxury and convenience. The rooms were spacious and impeccably clean, mirroring the elegance expected from a Relais et Chateaux establishment. The location was ideal, allowing for easy walks to Bath and providing a beautiful setting for a romantic getaway. However, the spa experience fell short of expectations, lacking some key elements to truly immerse in relaxation and rejuvenation.
The hotel offers stunning rooms, but some might be below ground level and close to noise. The rooms can get hot and have a high bathtub which can be challenging for shorter guests. The service is friendly, although some staff may reach over guests. The location is ideal for those who enjoy a walk into the city through the Royal Circle. The dining experience is fabulous with delicious options and a beautiful garden view.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic. The rooms were of very high quality, albeit showing a little wear and tear, but they were huge and furnished to a very high standard, making them beautiful and cosy. The service ensured a totally relaxing and enjoyable experience with lovely and helpful staff always willing to assist. The hotel's location was ideal for visitors who enjoy a leisurely walk into the city through the Royal Circle, and I especially enjoyed the pleasant small pool and loungers to relax. The dining experience was mostly fabulous, although it cast a cloud over our otherwise enjoyable stay. Overall, it was a great place to stay with some minor drawbacks.
The hotel offers incredible rooms overlooking beautiful gardens, quintessentially English country decor, and friendly and welcoming service. However, the dining experience was poor, contrasting with the fabulous character of the hotel dining area. The hotel is within walking distance of Bath, featuring well-maintained gardens worth exploring after a delicious English breakfast.
