My husband and I were just driving through the English countryside from one town to another. We wanted to be settled before it got late and didn't think we could make it to our intended destination in the Cotswolds. We stopped off at Bath, which hadn't been a city high on our list of places to visit, but now was convenient place to stop. We looked online for a vacancy and the Lansdown Grove Hotel was available Can't say enough about this impressive stone structure hotel set upon a hill overlooking the town of Bath. It seems Italian inspired in decor. The room was comfortable and stylish. We even had a courtyard outside our back door. The courtyard led to other levels of terrace and park like areas. The food was excellent. In the evening, after an afternoon of exploring the town, we enjoyed a drink in the lounge. I've rarely experienced a more inviting bar/lounge. The terrace doors were open on this summer night. It was really quite magical. The hotel reminded us somewhat of the villa in "Enchanted April". Highly recommend. It was reasonably priced for what was offered. 133 EP. Some might find elements a little funky, like the carpet or the varying levels, but these things we found charming. Only one complaint - the shower is a little difficult to operate. read more
