Beautiful building

No air conditioning. Fourth floor. We left street the first night. Staff were very understanding and issued us a partial refund. Great location but not during a heat wave! We had a lovely cup of tea outside in the back garden. Such a lovely spot.

Enjoyable stay in lovely location

We stayed for one night as a little weekend getaway. We were greeted by a cheerful and friendly host and the check-in was quick and easy. The room itself was exactly as advertised. It was clean and tidy and the bed was very comfortable, the room having more than enough space for us both. The property location was excellent, being no more than 5 minutes walk from the centre. Checkout was also nice and quick. Overall, a very enjoyable stay, just what we wanted!

We arrived to a friendly welcome however when we entered the room it was small, unclean, in need of a lick of paint and it was not what we expected. So disapponted.

Lovely Georgian rowhouse made into a wonderful upscale b&b. Very nicely decorated with historic Georgian details and big high ceilings. Easy couple of block walk to the center of things at Bath Abbey. Did not try the breakfast on offer but sounded like there was a good variety of choices. Would definitely return.
