This is one of the best hotels out there…read more The location is fabulous - right in the heart of Bath's City Centre. Everything is in walking distance. The indoor pool is immaculate, spacious and an oasis to soak your tired bones from all the sight seeing and relax and decompress. It's 70 GBP for a day pass, but free for hotel guests during the hours from 8-10am and 7-9pm. Take advantage of it, it's wonderful. The restaurant is top notch. Tables are spaced nicely so you can have an intimate meal. The wine/bubbly are on display in the center of the room. There's a fireplace for those cozy moments. The continental breakfast is next level --- so many pastries, deli meats, cheese, salmon/lox, 5 different fresh juices, porridge (oatmeal) made to order with either milk or water, cereals, yogurts, fresh fruits and more. Comes with toast (brown, white or mix). Wonderful decadent butter (both salted or unsalted), tasty local honey and jams. Rich, robust coffee to help you start your day. The service is friendly, prompt and non intrusive. You can savor your morning, never feeling rushed. You do need to select a breakfast time in advance at check in, but it's well worth it. The facilities is quaint. Gave off modern vibes and reminded me of the Oxbow in Bend or the Atticus in McMinville (both Oregon boutique hotels). They also have a special scent made specifically for this location - you walk in and immediately feel transported to fall - warm spices, apple cinnamon. It envelopes you and sets the tone for the stay. The room is spacious, well laid out and has the best amenities. Elemis, well stocked refrigerator, etc. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. While I saw all the major sites and ate amazing food, I'd want to come back to Bath just to stay here again. It's that's amazing.

The staff was excellent and very accommodating, even offering breakfast a half hour early one morning so we could eat before our early departure.

Never seen a property so lacking in transparency about interior rooms with no windows. Every site…read moreI've booked from always discloses such things clearly. And yet, for $230 a night, checked into this dank, dark box that would give young Mister Potter's cupboard under the stairs a run for its money. One meager lamp that would barely shine any light on the space, and incredibly poor ventilation. Also, the hotel claims to offer secure luggage storage for guests and yet I returned to find an unattended lobby and guests' belongings just out in the open for anyone to grab or tamper with. When raising concerns with hotel, verbally and in writing, they offered nothing but slight platitudes and defensive rhetoric. Zero mindfulness of customer service. In short, avoid. Bath has much better to offer.

Great location in historical house by Pulteney Bridge…read more We stayed in a suite for a couple nights. The suite had two bedrooms, which was nice for a family, but being a Georgian house, there were quirks. The floors were very uneven, to the point that I would feel vertiginous walking around. The bathroom had uneven water pressure where the temperature fluctuated wildly, and there was not enough counter space for 4 people. There was a nice sitting room but definitely not enough closet space. However, the location is so lovely. It's about a block from the Pulteney Bridge and also a block from a full sized Waitrose. It's a short walk to the train station, Bath Abbey, and the Roman Baths. Staff is friendly and generally competent. The front desk staff was a little confused and slow, and, while the rooms were generally clean, I don't advise that guests look under the beds or behind the furniture, as those are very dusty (ick). I love that they leave biscuits to go with tea daily and that they actually replenish everything on a daily basis. Those biscuits were life savers for my jetlagged children whose stomachs were not yet on UK time. I contacted the hotel a couple times before we arrived. They were not able to help with arranging for a babysitter (they told me to Google "Bath" and "babysitter"), but they did give me good information about a wheelchair rental for my husband. I would consider returning here on a future visit.

Very satisfying.

The gardens themselves are stunning - a little oasis away from the crowds. We had the same waiter for our first tea and several breakfasts and he was so kind. I recommend afternoon tea, the breakfasts, and drinks at the lounge.

The fish and chips were perfectly crispy and super filling, given I was full even after sharing. The pub itself is great to stop in to take a break from sightseeing (or take shelter from the rain) and grab a pint. I like that there are two different seating/dining areas. The downstairs area feels more like a divey pub, while the upstairs/main floor is more of a traditional restaurant/pub. You do have to order at the bar so just be mindful of that instead of sitting and waiting (at least in my experience). But staff were friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend if you're in the bath area and looking for good local food and drinks!

They have a really good vibe going for them, making it enjoyable to chat with your company. I recommend getting the full English breakfast. I recall it being around £7, give or take. It included baked beans, toast, eggs, tomato, mushroom, bacon, and black pudding. The eggs florentine or benedict also looked absolutely delicious. An order of pancakes also tasted delicious. Don't forget to get berries on top with that. The verdict: stop by here for an awesome meal. The coffee here is awesome and the food is even better.

Widbrook is just lovely. I felt like I was staying in a house from a Jane Austen novel. =)…read more I'm in love with this place. If I had to imagine a bed and breakfast in the English country side, this would be it. The hotel is organized with a main house (living room, check in, dining room) and separate living quarters surrounding the house. My cousin booked two rooms for us and we had the entire second floor to a English country house all to ourselves. The name was really cute too. I think our rooms were called Chaucer and Shakespeare? Rooms were spacious. We had a comfortable bed, big bathroom. Tub and shower. We had free tea and coffee in the room and a small tv (w/ cable). The windows opened out (no screen) and we had a view of the green landscape surrounding the property. The room was also very well heated. Which was good, as the nights were quite chilly in September. We dined twice in the main house. Once for dinner and also for breakfast. Dinner was really good! Breakfast was good too. We could order a full English breakfast off the menu. And we also had unlimited fruit, cereal, breads and jams (LOVED fresh jam). I remember having smoked salmon w/ eggs, English toy soldiers, sausage and hot tea. So stuffed! The gardens surrounding the hotel are beautiful. Take a bit out of your day to stroll around. We found fruit trees, berry bushes and wild flowers. Very picturesque. Widbrook also has a heated pool. So take the opportunity to relax and take a dip! Parking is available on-site for your car. Very beautiful English bed and breakfast in the countryside. My stay was wonderful. =)
