“Warm welcome & pleasant stay, but it pretends to be more than it actually is.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

The Plaine Guesthouse's main asset is Justina, the manager. She's so friendly, welcoming and helpful! The bedroom we stayed in was nicely decorated in a contemporary style and well thought-out (except for the ceiling lights!). However, the bathroom is in true need of an update. The beige 80's bathroom suite with the matching beige carpet is outdated, and while clean, it is just not up to standard for the price category. The shower is way too low to stand underneath. There is no heating in there and no toiletries are provided. For a true luxury feeling just a few overall small touches would be great: better quality towels, more tea on the tray, up to date magazines (instead of 2010 ones), toiletries... The breakfast was tasty, but there was no fruit or yoghurt. The weekend rate is slightly overpriced for what is on offer. All in all this B&B pretends to be a little more than it actually is. It was a pleasant stay, but we might look for a better value for money next time.

“Great reception - a little down-at-heel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

Quiet and comfortable and the star is Justina who manages the house who cannot do too much for guests. The house needs investment - the bedroom windows appear not to open and are old and grubby. Comfortable beds. Breakfast was below average (not sumptuous as advertised), rather poor coffee, no fruit or yogurts.

“MUST STAY if traveling to Bath!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012

My wife and I and our two dogs stayed at The Plaine for three nights to celebrate the New Year. We could not have been happier with our stay. The room was comfortable and the service was outstanding. The manager, Justina, was amazing and made us feel right at home. She also made a great breakfast, and went as far as making some extra sausages for the dogs. Norton St Philip is an adorable village with easy access to Bath, but we recommend eating and spending some time at the Fleur de Lys pub just across the street.

“Excellent choice for authentic British experience outside of Bath”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012

This place was amazing! Justina went out of her way to make our New Years Weekend wonderful! The property is beautiful and the location was very good to get in and out of Bath.

“Nice place made lovely by Justina!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011

We had a very pleasant stay at the Guesthouse for my partners birthday. A nice place made lovely by the host (manageress I think) Justina, she simply couldn't do enough to make our stay perfect thank you so much Justina! We were supposed to be Glassblowing at the nearby Liquid Glass Centre but they cancelled the course without telling us then refused to offer us compensation so please be warned! Plaine and The George over the road, very nice!
