    Dirty marks on carpet top of staircase and also on carpet in our room 5. Food dropped on dinning room floor night before still there at breakfast time (9am - 9-30am) next day.

    Fish and chips excellent. Good breakfast, good selection too. Nice bathroom with large walk in shower. Large garden with tables & chairs to relax.

    We learnt that the hotel would be closing for a month in October for refurbishment. Hopefully the annex, where we stayed, will receive due attention as our room required some TLC. An annoying feature was the fact that the sink plug would not release after use, and after raising this issue was advised that it was because it was old! There were cobwebs in the wardrobe. The extractor fan in the bathroom wasn't working and some of the floor tiles were cracked and uneven. Paintwork was peeling off around the door frame. Why was there two water logged mats outside the door and nothing inside to wipe our feet on?

    The staff were all very friendly and efficient. The food was very good. Special mention must be made regarding the "full English" breakfast. We have eaten many such examples around the UK, but the Northey Arms consistent offering surpassed them in terms of quality and presentation. The location was good.

    It is just 30m from a busy railway. The trains are surprisingly quiet but you will still hear them if your windows are oriented to the railside The chair did not match with the table - very uncomfortable if you needed to use it for the laptop A la carte breakfast took a lot of time as the only waitress had to cater for all the guest. We spend about 20 min waiting. If you are on a tight schedule, you rather drop the breakfast

    Stylish room Complimentary tea and coffee in the room Cleanliness Comfy bed

    The drains in the bathroom weren't working properly and hopefully it'll be fixed soon.

    It's perfekt for staying a couple of nights so you'll have the time to visit Castle Combe and Bath before moving further on. The room was very nice, comfortable and although you have the trains behind you'll sleep well. The pub is modern. The food likewise and good.

    The bedrooms are poorly ventilated, extremely hot, fan was making a horrible noise. Bedrooms are situated close to the railway line - high speed trains every now and again - they fortunately stopped later in the veing - but started again close to 05H00.

    Breakfast was fantastic, beautiful buildings and lovely garden. Service of the waiters and bar personnel was exceptional.

    Shame there weren't any biscuits to go with the tea/coffee. Only reason I gave it 9 and not 10.

    Wanted a weekend in Bath. Saw this property and liked the look of it. It's about 6 miles from Bath City Centre, the bus stop is directly opposite, buses into the city are frequent and it takes about 20 minutes no hassle and much cheaper than trying to park in the city. The pub itself is lovely has a good selection of drinks and the food was very good. We had a deluxe double room in the main building, which was very tastefully decorated. The bed was comfy, and the bathroom had a large bath and separate shower enclosure. All very cleaning and well kept and the biggest white fluffy bath towels. Tea and coffee facilities are in the room, and they give you a little flask of fresh milk as you need it from the bar. There was a hairdryer and even an iron and ironing board inside the wardrobe. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Bath and the surrounding area.

    This did not detract from our enjoyment of the stay but the floor by the bed and in the shower appeared to have underground heating which made the room overall a bit too warm. However, there was a large fan in the room so we used this.

    This stay was excellent value for money. We were put in a room located in a building at the back of the pub and it was spotlessly clean, comfortable and very spacious with everything we needed and facilities to a high standard. We dined in the restaurant in the evening and the service and food was excellent. Breakfast was not included in our booking so we did not eat there. Would definitely stay here again when in the area.

    The room itself was nice but the rooms at the bottom of the garden are right next to the train tracks. I think it's freight as they went on all night for what seemed like every 30 mins. I thought it would stop late evening but was very noisy in the early morning. For that reason can't really recommend those rooms, it may be different in the main building...

    Food is great and the staff were friendly at the restaurant albeit the guy who checked me in didn't really add much apart from 'here's the key...' Decent price and clean room

    It was a warm day, and whilst the provided fan was a nice and unexpected touch, it was clear the skylight hadn't been opened for a while and showered us with debris. There was also quite a lot of dust around the corners, so whilst it all felt clean, it could use a touch more. I'd also note that for light sleepers, whilst road noise was minimal, you are right on the train line and with the windows open, that was very loud. Didn't happen often and I think tailed off around midnight, but YMMV. There was also a bright green light (possibly some kind of alarm) in the ceiling that was quite annoying to get used to. Minor inconveniences (we'd happily return) but could be problematic.

    A great spot to get away from the motorway for a bit. The rooms are apart from the pub, so noise wasn't an issue from that direction, and felt pretty private. Bed was comfy; room was small but well-proportioned, so we had more than enough room including space for hanging clothes, ironing kit, and a small desk you could work from. WiFi seemed solid too.
