A pleasure staying at this wonderful B&B, a beautiful location with stunning countryside views. Found it ideally situated for a visit to near-by Bath. The owner, Frances, was a lovely host - providing tips on visiting Bath & where to go. As I've said in the title, for a quiet B&B, Shrubdown is marvelous! More

We had a wonderful stay at Shrubdown. Frances was very welcoming and friendly. Setting was beautiful, room was very comfortable and clean, wetroom a treat and the breakfast was delish, plenty of it. Yes it's a bit hilly but the valley views make up for that. i'll be going back to explore the area and Bath's only ten mins away... More

This B&B is a gem tucked away in spectacular country side so close to Bath and surrounding attractions. It was the perfect stress free weekend the owner Frances was welcoming and made us feel at home giving us the low down on things to do and places to see. The bedroom was onsuite with great views across the Frome valley... More

This is old fashioned B&B you dont come across very often. It exactly fitted our needs and expectation.s We were met by Frances the owner, a lovely lady who couldn't have been more welcoming or helpful. It doesn't pretend to be a boutique hotel. The room we had was on the ground floor, very comfortable and we had a fantastic... More

Mrs Cameron was very welcoming and the location was good for exploring Bath and the surrounding area south east of Bath. It is also cose to Bradford on Avon, a charming country town. The en-suite facilities are very good and the rooms were clean, a very pleasant house. We enjoyed an exellent cooked breakfast, more than we could eat in... More

Returned to Shrubdown after a year. Could not have had a better welcome. Frances the owner couldn't do enough for us. Everything was as good as the previous year. We loved our room on the top floor plus a big bathroom with corner bath, abundant hot water, room cosy. Television and mobile phone reception not so good due to the... More

Arrived at the premises at a not unreasonable 4pm for our one night stay but had to wait until 5.45pm for the proprietor to return from shopping etc. In retrospect we wish we had not waited !. We were given a choice of rooms – ground or first floor and opted for “The Red Room” reached by it’s own single... More

Arrived at Shrubdown and after 3 hours in a twin room when we had booked a double, the owner proceeded to inform us that she had booked someone else in for the room. She blamed us for not confirming our booking despite not requesting this when the booking was made and then kicked us out! The surrounding area is very... More
