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.

PERFECTLY FINE BUT NEEDS SOME SLIGHT ATTENTION
Good pub with rooms. Location was excellent. We had an attic room which meant the bathroom in particular had limited space for a wash basin and decent shower. It is a very old building and needs a freshening up. However it was perfectly OK

This was a very good stay, with a big room, comfortable bed and a nice bathtub. The bathroom sink was kind of awkward though. The area of the hotel was perfect, right in the center of the town with every attraction and tons of restaurants within walking distance.

Hotel agréable. Déco sympa.
Le personnel est très bien.
Les gens qui aiment manger ont apprécié leur petit déjeuner.
Dommage qu'il n'y ai pas la possibilité d'un petit déjeuner continental.

Not a bad stay
Would come again. Staff are friendly, room clean and food was good, so happy to hear there butter was daily free.
One thing I would say if you have trouble with health or body let them know as there no lift.

A beautiful hotel, well maintained, above a really neat pub. The room was small and simple but clean and well taken care of. The location is great, very central. The breakfast was fantastic as was the gin and tonic and the Cornish stout!

This property is in a good location and the breakfasts provided were good. The rooms are another story. I u derstand that this building is 250 years old but the floor in our room was very slanted, the room was very small for 2 peoplel
