This was a lovely hotel, centrally located, with complimentary spa access four hour per day. What more could I need? (The only not great thing is the shower design which tends to splash water all over the bathroom if you’re not careful.)

Excellent Hotel and Spa
Excellent hotel and facilities. Staff were friendly and extremely helpful throughout our stay. My only criticism would be the air-con in the room which was not effective and remained at a high heat despite getting a member of staff to help adjust and lower the temperature. Overall, an excellent stay and I would well recommend!

This property is unique for the natural hot springs that flow into its gorgeous spa on the lower floor, which is available free to hotel guests for two hours each morning and evening. Breakfast was outstanding, as were all members of their staff. I took one star away due to our mattress - it was so bouncy —not horrible but certainly not good. Otherwise, this place is five-star.

Great hotel, fantastic spa
We only stayed one night, but it was fantastic and I wish we could have spent more time here. The hotel is very upscale and beautiful. The spa is absolutely amazing. We booked a spa room, but there was an issue with the plumbing, so they notified us ahead of time that we were upgraded to an executive suite and still had full access to the spa. The breakfast was good, but a little pricey for what it is. The hotel staff was super friendly and helpful. The views from our room were great. And, the room itself was super clean and very comfortable. I will stay here again on our next visit to Bath.

Excellent stay, even before we arrived the team who were talking to me via Expedia were prompt and really helpful (booking the spa and heritage cream tea). I was upgraded on check in and the staff were exceptionally well mannered, timely and helpful. Room was lovely and clean with a nice view of the hills nearby. Cream tea was delicious and the spa treatment we had as a couple was so relaxing. Where the hotel is situated is perfect for exploring bath.

Nice though areas of improvement needed
Reception staff were excellent and accommodating in helping when needed going above and beyond. Breakfast was good though set and service were below par as they were very much understaffed resulting in lots of delays, complaints and unhappy staff. Could do better on this given the luxury status. Spa was also full one day and broken the next.
