Super Cool place to stay, right in the heart of beautiful Bath. A lovely bar/ restaurant downstairs and modern remodeled rooms above. Breakfast was terrific. The surrounding area was just amazing. So much history and beauty. Please note :
A remote car park is needed if you’re driving. There are options close by.

The room was spotless but unfortunately it was very warm in there and the window wouldn’t stay open . There is a fan provided which I would imagine in the summer you would definitely need.
We also found that you could hear all the noise outside and it didn’t quieten down till around 3am but maybe this was because it was freshers week ?
We also didn’t like having to use a side entrance outside to get to our room and then again to go back to the pub .

Very unique property. A lift would have been nice for getting our luggage to the top floor, but we knew there wasn’t one available when we booked our stay. Still a very enjoyable place.

Amazing staying. Strongly recommend.
That was my first time in a pub/hotel. And i cannot be happier about my experience.
The place at all - either room and pub - are so cozy! The cleanliness was surprising, as well the food. A silent place, very well located. I strongly recommend your stay. 10/10!

The property was in a great location and within easy walking distance to all the major attractions. Breakfast was good and the bar area welcoming.
The rooms were clean and comfortable.
A major problem for us was the lack of a lift as my husband struggled with the stairs to the second floor. If you are young and fit though this would not be an issue

Love the room! Clean and spacious. The reason I gave only 4 stars is the steps you have to climb to get to your room. In our case, we were given a room on the 4th (or was it 3rd) floor and it's a good thing we were only carrying an overnight bag and not a 50 lbs luggage.
