    Close to Bath centre and free parking.

    A great property but disappointed with room facilities compared to our last trips.

    Compared to our previous stays there were a couple of things that were a little disappointing. Whilst the large bed had lovely bedding, the mattress itself was extremely hard which unfortunately made for a really uncomfortable nights sleep, I felt bruised! I generally prefer a firm mattress but this was next level. It’s in desperate need of a foam topper or something! It was great to have towels provided, but the towels were literally crunchy, rough like sand paper and very small. This was very disappointing and really unpleasant. Frustratingly there was only one shoulder height mirror in the room. Any person smaller than 5”4 would struggle to see into it as it’s over a huge fireplace! The room needs a full length mirror and there was plenty of space to put one. The tea and coffee making facilities were fine but the milk was in those awful sachets thrown into the mini fridge and wonder if it would be a nicer touch to provide fresh milk in a small milk bottle in the fridge as a lot of B&Bs do.

    The property is lovely, excellent location to Bath city centre and has parking which makes life so much easier. My friend and I have stayed here 4 times for our annual shopping trip and the rooms are bright and spacious. We usually stay on the 1st floor but this time we had a room on the ground floor and noise was really minimal. There used to be larger kitchenette areas with cooking facilities but these have been replaced with a small kitchen side, sink and mini fridge, which are great. There are tea and coffee making facilities and a sofa facing a tv which was great as we preferred a quieter night watching a film in the evening after a hard days shopping! The room was really clean, with lovely furniture and had everything you needed. It was great to find a fan in the wardrobe as it was hot weather during our stay.

    Had a knock on the door 45 minutes before we were due to check out and within 3 seconds of us not answering because we were getting dressed they began trying to unlock the door to come straight in , pushing our key out on the floor that was in the door already. They were trying to check the fire alarms or something but we felt this was really intrusive as no warning was given and if I hadn’t rushed out of the bathroom to say we were in there they would of burst straight in.

    Great location and nice room

    No dressing table and large mirror in room was very smeared. Bin in bathroom had no lid and was rusty.. Plus there was no shelf in the bathroom to put your toiletry bar. Overall it was clean enough but things like the lights and lamp shades and bed side table needed a good clean. The kettle was full of limescqle when we had a drink which was off putting. But there was a good selection of tea and coffee. Big window in room was nice and lovely view but no privacy when getting dressed. Towels weren’t large enough and quite rough.

    Location was good and the views of the abbey were nice. Parking at the property was a bonus.

    Selection of beverages in room could have been better eg there was no ‘tea’ tea - I’d brought my own, luckily. Just a couple of sachets of milk. Given the class and cost of the room, and the fact there are no meals/breakfast attached, i would have hoped for better selection/availability of somewhere to store snacks. Or maybe just fresh milk and a fruit bowl (and regular afternoon/breakfast tea). Small factor.

    Room beautiful: lovely view, very comfortable and quiet. Really glad I paid extra for the four-poster option. Host Arthur welcoming and friendly and available when needed - found temporary solution to dripping shower tap. Parking onsite (The thing that swayed me to choose this place over another I’d shortlisted). Very clean, really appreciated this.
