I originally booked the Henry Guest House as it was one of the most economical places in Bath,…read moreEngland that also received great reviews. Upon check in there was an envelope with my name on it in the hallway that had a few maps and a list of things to see as well as my key. Although I arrived early (12noon), I was able to check into my room which was nice as I got to refresh before going out. The rooms are painted a soft grey that made them feel warm and homey. My bed was comfortable and my bathroom an ample size with great towels. One of the innkeepers was kind enough to drag my heavy, large suitcase up the stairs and pack me a great breakfast (fruit, yogurt, muffin) for the road as I had an early tour in the morning and would miss the hour breakfast time they offer. Location is perfect, easy walking to the train station, sites and restaurants!

Our room was small but comfortable. Two comfortable chairs to sit in. A nice view of the garden in back which was very quiet. The only noise we heard was the tweet of birds -- nice.

The Tasburgh House Hotel is an extraordinary and professional small hotel that feels like a…read morebed-and-breakfast. We stayed here for three nights while exploring the area. The location of the hotel is excellent; it's about a mile outside of Bath's center and offers amazing views of the surrounding hilly region, and the walk to town is a beautiful stroll along the Kennet and Avon Canal (unless it's chilly and raining hard in which case the cab ride is short!). We took an $8 cab ride from the train station when we arrived in Bath. It is the superb service at this hotel that makes this five-star rating such an easy choice. Sue, Grant, and the other members of the staff were amazing. In particular, Sue went out of her way on several occasions to make our experience extraordinary. We first arrived at the hotel from London after a long day, and her graciousness and hospitality at that late hour made us feel completely at home right away. After learning our preferences, she made reservations for us at two wonderful restaurants; in general, her knowledge of the surrounding attractions, restaurants, and shops seemed almost encyclopedic. She is very, very good at what she does. Our room was relatively small and meticulously furnished. Details were attended to, and the view of the attached gardens was peaceful and beautiful. The hot water pressure wasn't great, but I'll live. I can't recommend this place more highly.

What an absolutely delightful way to enjoy Bath and the beautiful countryside surrounding it! My…read morewife is a wizard at choosing perfect accommodations when we travel, so for our first trip to England, she scoured the internet for the perfect place for our two-day getaway to Bath. She could not have chosen a better spot! First, the place is perfectly located about a mile outside the center of town, so we could enjoy the brilliant views of the hills surrounding Bath from our window, yet still have easy access to town. We parked our car in the driveway (a major bonus in this densely populated area) and left it there during our entire stay. The location is quiet and secluded, but we didn't feel isolated or distant from town. We had easy access to everything we wanted to see and do in Bath within a 15-20 minute walk. Also, Tasburgh House is midway between Bath and Bathampton, so the two quaint pubs in the latter (the George and Bathampton Inn) were easily accessible, either from the road in front or from the tow path along the canal running in back of the House. Second, the place is gorgeous. The grounds are meticulously manicured in true English fashion, and the building has exactly the old-world charm that we Americans were looking for. Our room was comfortable, if a bit small for our US tastes, but the absolutely spectacular view and prime location made up for any small criticisms that we might have. And the breakfast! I'm a huge breakfast fan, and the simple "continental" breakfast was unique and delicious. I expected danishes and jam, but we got this scrumptious Bath granola, fresh fruit, local cheeses and meats, natural yogurt with mango purée, and coffee in a French press. Yum! When you think "quaint English inn," Tasburgh House is probably the picture you have in your head. Sue and her staff were so friendly and helpful, too. What a joy. Our time there was fantastic, and I would not hesitate to stay there again if ever we return to Bath. Highly recommended.

The room was lovely and spacious (we stayed in the Royal Gala room). The room and house was clean and quiet. All essentials were provided including hair dryer and fan. The dresser was stocked daily with teas, hot chocolate and biscuits. Breakfast was amazing. Ling had a menu of several different options which she prepared to order. Sadly we don't have any pictures because they were so appetizing we ate right away! In addition, toast, yogurt, cereal were available as well. French press coffee was made fresh for each couple, or tea as desired. The walk to town was a short 5-10 minutes and we appreciated the quiet neighborhood this bed and breakfast was located in. Ling even left us a box of chocolates, chocolate liquor shots and flowers with a thank you note / happy anniversary note on our last night. A real nice touch (see photo). We will definitely be referring our friends here and staying here in the future if we visit Bath again.

The guest house is located on a quite residential street and a 5 minute walk to the city center…read more Parking is available in their parking lot in the back. The hosts, a young couple, were both very cheery and friendly. They were helpful with the luggage, and made recommendations of things to see and do while in Bath. The room was on the top floor, and was a bit tight. There was little room to spread out for a two night stay. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was also tight. The flat screen TV required manually turning it on before controlling it with the remote, and that wasn't as easy as the hand note instructed. The kettle needed to be cleaned out. For the double room that we got, £85 GBP per night, which required a £50 GBP deposit, which you had to pay by credit card and pay £2 GBP fee to use your credit card. This was not my first choice to stay for two night in Bath.

A quick one, or at least an attempt at a quick one…read more I have to preface this by saying I don't really thin I'm a B&B type of person... I generally rent a flat somewhere if away for the weekend because you can often find one for about the same price as a hotel and I like having the freedom to have a late breakfast, have your own fridge, etc. That said, I did enjoy my stay here... it has a great front garden, two accommodating and friendly owners, a great library, and a breakfast that can put you under it's so massive! The place itself is a 15 minute straight shot (literally) into the city centre, and not a bad walk at all pending the weather... coming back it's more uphill, but not so extreme you couldn't do it if you wanted however. If you like quirky places, and like the idea of a B&B, then I would say definitely give this place a go if the picture I've posted are intriguing... there's stuff to look at all over the place here, if items could talk I'm sure there would be lots of stories to tell. The library is a particular highlight if you're a reader... this isn't your normal B&B or hotel selection, there are all kinds of treasures waiting to be looked at and you can find yourself just lingering in the library room itself. The garden was fantastic... a nice green space looking towards a church with a fountain by the entrance, my kinda place! I'm quite curious as to how summer is here, there was a bench but I wonder if you could have properly have tea outside, etc., they certainly have the space for it. The breakfast was HUGE and far better than what you would get at a hotel, absolutely no contest there. I don't know how it would compare to other B&Bs, but the other guests were quite impressed so I imagine favourably. (After our first breakfast we actually and to downsize from the full english the second day, it was that big... but again, cooked really well.) Your cereals, juice, yoghurt, etc., were also on offer as well as fresh brewed proper tea which needed a strainer to catch the leaves. (The coffee also looked a cut above.) Another highlight are the marmalades made onsite from trees in their garden... a real treat to go with the toast. The only downside for me I think would apply to most B&Bs really... I felt I had to be extra quiet (I'm a night owl by nature) and I enjoy having my own fridge to store a few Diet Cokes in, etc. That said, major points for having a small fan in the room without me having to request it, although I don't know how much this helps in the Summer of course. The built in awkwardness of a B&B is why I have to give 4 stars personally, but for any B&B aficionados I can see this being a 5 star place... I would say check the pictures I uploaded this weekend and if it has piqued your interest it would be worth giving a go if in the area.

I had a family room, which has one twin bed and one single bed. The shared bathrooms were very clean and nice and we had no problem at all in terms of sharing them with other guests.

Service was excellent too, the owner and her daughter were very friendly, not to mention the two lovely baby boys!
