Okay stay but not worth the money

The grounds are beautiful and the building looks stunning from the outside. However for the amount we paid we didn’t feel it was worth the money. The furniture and carpets were stained and marked. There were only two members of staff that smiled at us and asked us how we were for the whole stay. At breakfast we felt like an inconvenience and the waiters would rather fold napkins than make sure their guest were happy. We had originally booked our dinner at the restaurant but canceled it after the poor service of staff and considering the prices! We had a lovely meal out in Bath! The spa facilities and staff were lovely which saved the stay but had it not been for the spa we would 100% say we would only rate the hotel 3*.

Lovely hotel close to the city centre but with easy parking at no extra cost. The walk into the city is very pretty but is uphill on the way back. Chose to not have breakfast at the hotel. Room was lovely and staff very friendly and helpful. We had an issue with our room but it was sorted with minimum fuss and inconvenience to us. We would stay again.

Check in at the hotel was very disappointing. Despite us booking a room for three and specifying that our granddaughter who was travelling with us was 12 the room we were allocated had just one double bed. When we pointed this out the hotel offered to put a fold out bed in the room but the room wasn't big enough and when the bed arrived three springs were missing and the bed was unusable. it was suggested that the problem had occurred because we had booked through a 3rd party, Expedia. Eventually a senior housekeeper named Barbara appeared and saved the day by finding us a bigger room with a comfortable bed settee for our granddaughter. A very poor start to our break.

This is a lovely hotel with great facilities. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable. However the breakfast experience lets them down. They do not have enough staff to support the number of guests staying at the hotel. Food on the buffet options is not replenished during the sitting so runs out quickly. It takes a longtime to get coffee/ tea/ toast/ service at the table. The dining room is lovely but overshadowed by lack of staff. The staff that are there are trying their best but there are just not enough of them. Equally finding staff in the lounge area to order drinks/pay for drinks is challenging, which lets the experience of staying at this hotel down. This is why I have only given it 4 stars not 5.
