“Home from home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

Have just returned from a relaxing child-free weekend with friends. We couldn't have picked a nicer B&B. The rooms are lovely, clean and well presented. Breakfast delivered to the room was a real treat with such a great choice - full English, croissants, toast, yoghurt, cereal.....the list goes on. Nothing is too much trouble for Tiago and Andreia who make you feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a B&B close to Bath town centre.

“Without fault, excellent place to stay in Bath”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

The Bath House delivered everything that was promised in its publicity, which is sadly not always the case with other hotels.

I recieved a friendly welcome and was shown to a lovely room, well appointed with an air of luxury comfort. Someone here obviously appreciates quality and attention to detail.

The room was tranquil and relaxing, the bed comfortable, the shower hot and spacious, just what you hope for when staying away from home.

Nice touches like good tea and coffee making equipment with biscuits, a mini fridge with fresh milk and best of all for my personal taste, a jug of iced water. - Attention to detail again - great.

Breakfast was served to my room exactly at the time requested, hot and well cooked with a basket of brown toast, preserves and butter. - Even the toast was seved hot, kept wrapped up in the basket. - Other hoteliers could learn a lot about the importance and possibility of this level of service and delivery.

Location was good for a short walk to Bath cenre, parking on site was a little restricted but there was a large car park about 30 meters away, visible from the Bath House and with easy access.

My friends would probably describe me as being very choosy, - I am. - However I would be VERY happy to stay here again and would have no hesitation in recommending The Bath House to anyone looking for a quality establishment.

In all respects perfect. Thank you.

Room Tip: I stayed in room 1, 4 poster facing the rear of the bulding away from the road so very quiet.

“Great B&B in Great Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

The Bath House is in a great location (5min walk) to all the central Bath tourist attractions (Abbey, Roman Baths, Spa etc.) As parking spaces are at a premium, and in my view expensive, in Bath a great perk of this B&B is that it has free on-site parking located just to the rear of the property for the duration of your stay. If you stay longer than your check out time on your final day the owners can give you a voucher that entitles you to free parking on one of the nearby side roads for the remainder of the day.

We stayed in room 4, the front room on the top floor of the house. The room was done out to a high standard with King Size bed, flat screen TV, mini fridge in the room. My wife and I loved the fact that breakfast was served in your room and you can choose a time (between 7.30 and 9.30) when you want to eat breakfast. We thought the quality,choice and amount you received was very good. The small on-suite bathroom was also fitted out well. The shower cubicle is a little narrow but this was a small down side in our view.

Overall we thing this B&B well deserves its AA 4 Star rating and if we return to Bath it will be our first choice of accommodation.

“Great B&B close to heart of Bath”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

My other half & I so enjoyed our stay at The Bath House - from the warm welcome at the front door, you feel like you'll be well looked after and every little detail has been thought of. We were in room number 3 - a lovely big room at the front of the house with four-poster bed & en suite bathroom. The room was very clean & comfortable, and very well-equipped (including i-pod docking station, hairdryer with diffuser / nozzle attachments & 2 wine glasses alongside the usual suspects on the tea tray). We also liked the little laminated signs around the room that gave directions on how to use things (having spent many cold minutes in other B&Bs trying to figure out how to make the shower work, this was much appreciated!)

Breakfast was served in our room, with items we selected on a menu the night before at the time we requested (and despite us forgetting to put our order out on our door by 8pm night before!) It was all delicious - freshly prepared with good quality ingredients.

It's a great base to use to explore Bath - just a few minutes walk from the Royal Crescent & Circus, and 5-10 minutes to the city centre - and having it's own parking is a real bonus (particularly in such a central location).

We will definitely be returning to stay there next time we're in Bath, and would highly recommend it highly to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in Bath that really feels like a treat.

“Lovely Property - Let down by poor breakfast and cold bath.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

This is a beautiful B&B, the room was spotless and the bed could not have been more comfortable. The staff were also very sweet, but unfortunately we felt let down on the following points.

1 - My girlfriend had selected this B&B because it had a bath. When we arrived the water was too cold to bath in. We reported this to the staff who said they would speak to the owner, but nobody every got back to us on this issue.

2 - On the first morning I ordered the full english breakfast. When it arrived it was inedible, eggs were rubbery, and meat had obviously been sitting around for some time (the skin on the sausages were deep brown and solid, the bacon had congealed white fat on it and was tough to the bite). The second morning I ordered croissants (with were served warm, but were not nearly fresh) as well as fruit with yoghurt (which turned out to be a pot of strawberry Activia).

3 - This wasn't such a great concern, but our room (number 1) being in the middle of a staircase leading to the main entrance was quite noisy - though not terrible.

It's a shame because this place had the potential to be amazing. I'm not sure, but perhaps if the owners had been around it would have felt like a more personal service and the issues would have been resolved.

Room Tip: Do not choose room 1 as it is quite noisy.

Thanks for your review. We’re glad you thought our B&B was beautiful, your room spotless and the bed comfortable. We’re happy you thought the staff ‘sweet’ too (they are also catering college graduates with 5 star hotel-experience). We try really, really hard to provide the best possible stay for guests. We are on-site every day to ensure standards are maintained and are happy and grateful to have (at the last count) 742, lovely, 5 Star reviews from guests, many of whom return regularly.
To address your numbered points…we are sorry if you ran out of hot water on your first night. The bath in your room is a double bath which takes a lot to fill. The tank for that room holds enough for a bath but needs 20 minutes after the first bath to have enough time to re-heat. We were told you had an issue, but our manager told us he had explained and apologised to you. By the time of his call to us, the water had already re-heated so there was nothing for us to resolve. We are also sorry you didn’t like your breakfast, on both mornings…despite you ordering a different breakfast each day. Our ingredients are of high quality (British/Organic), are identical for every breakfast and cooked by the same staff, so it is perplexing that comments cards from all other guests during your stay (which we checked) had nothing but praise for their breakfasts. It’s almost as if you had been singled out to receive poor breakfasts on both days, which I’m sure isn’t the case. Certainly the freshly baked croissants are, by definition, fresh (perhaps you mistook the crispy-baked outside for staleness?). You say your room was noisy (though not terrible), yet , happily for us, you marked us 5 out of 5 for sleep quality. Only 3 other guests’ rooms need to pass your door, so if you heard any one of them on the way to their rooms, we can only apologise.
You can probably tell we thought your review harsh. You sign yourself ‘Critically Good’, and end another review you posted with “and I am a VERY tough critic” so perhaps we got-off lightly. We also see you marked the Thermae Spa even lower than us…you had an issue with the temperature of the water there too. In their defence, the temperature of their water is down to nature’s natural-heating process and has been a treat for visitors to Bath since Roman times with few complaints. Overall, what can we say? We weren’t really the place for you and are sorry you weren’t able to enjoy yourself fully.
