Just had a lovely stay at Abbyrise. Had the large room, super king size bed. Very comfortable. Very clean. Katherine is a fabulous host. Very friendly. Breakfast is amazing. Lovely to meet up with other guests. Home made brownies available too. Coffee machine in the room as well as a kettle. Close to Bath city centre. Uphill walk back but if you don’t want to do that there is a bus stop right outside. Would definitely recommend staying here.

We arrived a few minutes early due to our attempt to avoid the rail strikes. It was a short walk up the hill from the rail station. They were very accommodating in storing our luggage for a bit while I went off to pick up a rental car. …

Absolutely loved our stay at Abbey Rise. The room was clean and well decorated. Every night you can choose what you’d like for breakfast the next morning. Breakfast time is 815-915am - do not miss it! It’s fantastic. Katherine is a lovely host and wonderful cook. The location is superb, less than 10min walk to the Roman Baths and the city centre, and supermarkets too! Would love to stay again when I’m back in Bath.

We stayed for one night at Abbey Rise, we arrived earlier than we had planned but Katherine was more than happy to help us and was able to still get us a car park space and allow us to park. The rooms are very cosey, clean and have everything you need! The breakfast was lovely and if you get the chance do NOT turn down the brownie, it's amazing!! Really friendly service and was made to feel very welcome, when we return to Bath we will definitely be happy to stay again.
