My grandma stayed here for 3 nights and had a lovely time.The hotel looks gorgeous and they had a lovely little nod to Halloween on the welcome desk.All the staff were incredibly friendly and kind to us and everyone I heard them speak to.The room was very comfortable and well maintained. My grandma struggles with mobility and the room was perfect for her.The location is brilliant. You're in a pretty square and 2 mins walk from shops, cafes, restaurants, etc.

Had an Afternoon tea here. Emily's tea room was very elegant but empty. Was able to change the smoked salmon sandwiches to a different option which was great but the bread seemed a little dry / stale. The scones came with cheese instead of clotted cream and they forgot to serve milk with the tea. Was a pleasant experience in a lovely location but would have been more relaxing without the mishaps.🤦‍♀️

We loved this historic hotel! It's centrally located to all of historic Bath and just down the street from the Jane Austen Center. The decor is so fun with Regency era silhouettes on the hallway wallpaper. …

We stayed last weekend for my birthday, the hotel was perfect, friendly staff, great location & very relaxing. I appreciated the chocs & complimentary bubbles for my birthday, a lovely gesture.I can't wait to return & see how the renovations have been done & most definitely want to use the new spa. Thank you team Francis.

We were looking for somewhere to have a quiet drink and decided to try here. The city was busy ...it was a Sunday evening, just after the Bath (half marathon... I think it was). |The barman was very friendly and welcoming.  …
