Beautiful hotel right in the middle of Bath. Access was an issue with a stroller, as there are 4 or 5 steps to enter the hotel. The staff was kind and helpful though and the rooms were clean and updated. There is no parking on site and unloading the car was a bit of an issue.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Booked a superior room expecting soft seating sofa or arm chairs as advertised in the photos as well as Hotel's own website (medium room). However, on arrival was given a room with just one desk chair and was told that as the room was bigger with less amenities it was still classed as a superior/medium room. This is very misleading. Overall the general service (bar and food) was poor as I don't think the staff were trained well. Also, beware the 13% service charges - not really justified by the service!

Very good location to walk into Stamford. Nice old hotel with history attached. Well appointed rooms, easy parking and nice breakfast. The room was a bit on the small side for the price and the shower cubicle was smaller than we are used to but overall very nice.
