As said in the title, this was absolutely the very best place in which we stayed during our 2 weeks of holiday in England+Galles. If it would be possible, I'd give it six stars :-)
I stayed there with two friends and we spent there two nights. We were welcomed by our host, Steve, who was very kind to us in many ways, and immediately gave us a lot of useful information for visiting the city (information of such great value when you don't have many available time but you'd like to see the most possible). Also his wife Heather is a very nice and friendly woman. I have a very good memory of the kindness of this couple.
The Badminton Villa is situated in a very beautiful position too, in the hill area at the south of Bath city center, that is reachable with 15 minutes of walking. From our room window we had a wonderful panorama of the city, really breathtaking.
The room itself was very spacious (for it was a double with a third extra bed), luminous and clean, with ensuite very modern facilities. Breakfast is very rich, and provides a wide choice of fresh fruit, toast and classic jam and marmalade, the inevitable classic full English breakfast (one morning we even eat salmon).
In the entrance hall, there is a laptop with free Internet access for the guests.

We arrived before check-in time but the hosts were friendly and accommodating, nothing was a problem. The room was comfortable and clean, with good amenities. The cooked breakfast was included in the price and was very tasty. Couldn't have asked for more.

As we arrived we had a moments doubt as there were (temporary) road works outside.

However once we had walked through the front door that was all quickly forgotten. Steve was very welcoming & explained all the local amenities, places of interest and the local transport network. We were shown to our room which was spacious, well appointed & decorated with a very nicely fitted en suite. There was a superb view down into Bath over the wonderfully stocked & tended terraced garden.

The service we received from Heather & Steve and their staff could not be faulted. Food was served shortly after it was ordered - cooked perfectly from the extensive choice of fare. Nothing was too much trouble, any request or query was swiftly & cheerfully sorted. You always felt that they all thoroughly enjoyed being of service.

We thought that the establishment we visited in Fort William in Scotland was 1st class but Badminton Villa has trumped it in spades! Thank you both for a wonderful long weekend.

I would thoroughly recommend a stay in this comfortable and well furnished hotel in which we were warmly welcomed by the charming and very gracious hosts. We enjoyed a lovely breakfast and were treated with warm affection and attention to detail, where nothing seemed to much trouble to ensure that we had a memorable and pleasant stay in Bath.
