I was so happy that we chose Highways House for our stay in Bath. As new visitors to the city, we were greeted by Victoria, who was very welcoming and gave us some recommendations for getting around Bath. The house was beautiful and set up on a hill. We had free parking for the evening and they let us keep... More

Surprised at location as not quite the 10 minute walk to the center of BATH.Building very run down and small garden overgrown .Sadly shown to an outside annex which we found dark and dingy. Offered a further ground floor room which was also unsuitable .For £80 very disappointing and you can find better value elsewhere in Bath.

My husband and I stayed here for three nights, and overall it wasn’t a bad experience, but we wouldn’t rush back to stay there again. On arrival, we were greeted by a friendly member of staff who told us a bit about the area and made a few suggestions on places to eat. When we got to our room, the... More

Our room was very clean and kept clean throughout our stay. We had a massive bathroom with toiletries provided. I was concerned that the room would be cold but it was very cosy. Our bed was very comfy and we slept brilliantly. The room was very quiet, no noise from other guests or central heating. Quieter than our own house.... More

I had booked what it was described as a 4 star guest house to celebrate Mother's day with my mum, and treat her to a quaint "English" weekend in Bath. She had come from Spain and wanted to experience a nice time. This hotel ruined our holidays. Where to start?: Dirt: The toilet was disgusting, the toilet brush had a... More

This was the best value accommodation we could find close to Bath and still able to accommodate our car.

We stayed here for two nights as we explored Bath. The location is fantastic; 10 minutes into town. Very friendly welcome. We were recommended a pub straight away. (We went to The Bear which was just up the hill. Great food!). Breakfast was fab, though a bit tight on the toast! The room was clean and comfortable. Just what we... More
