Older pub. Bit off in spots, room was decent but small, bathroom awesome refurbishing and great toiletries. Only had breakfast, fine. Service very good. Parking a total mess as with most hotels in Bath, but great location. Door locks are nonsense. 2 keys, one for outer door. One for room. Skeleton keys. Had to lock ourselves in room, and one person in the room with one out was hopeless. Need real locks as next project. Closing every door was as noisy as a bomb going off. No lift, plan accordingly.

Lovely little pub. It is really cosy inside and the staff are friendly. Also has seating outside for when the weather is nice. The menu is small but it has all the main pub dishes that you would expect. Went for sausages and mash and the food was delicious. Would definitely recommend

As a pub average. Food quality + quantity has gone downhill, save your money if you're going to eat here and don't go for food. Last time I came here the staff just forgot about my order and I know because the chef was on a break the entire time and then I had to ask for the food again after 45 mins. Mistakes happen sometimes. It's a nice location otherwise but nothing special.

This place only has 9 rooms and their property description does not match what they actually provide. The bathroom door is for someone 5 feet 9 inches or less, there are no bath mats in any rooms which is extremely dangerous.  …

I had the best experience here. The room was comfortable, the staff friendly and the location perfect for a walking tour of the city. I just want to warn everyone that the building doesn’t have an elevator, so you need to be able to walk up and down the stairs to your room.

A wonderful old inn near Bath City centre (We didn'tstay in the hotel). Offering only local beverages from Bath, Bristol and the West Country. ||Toilets downstairs so perhaps not that accessible. …

Great place to stay in bath as it is very central. Their rooms are very warm, quiet and safe. Tea and coffee and biscuits is offered in the rooms. Downstairs, we had breakfast and the food is local, fresh and tasty. The portions are big and they set us up for the day's exploration of Bath.
