lovely stay and fantastic staff.
Breakfast and Dinner Food was fantastic.
Only about 15 minutes from Bath city centre.

My girlfriend and I stayed there for two nights over the bank holiday weekend in May 2010. To be honest we were a bit daunted by the many negative reviews, but booked it regardless as it was one of the few hotels with rooms left (we booked last minute) and we also liked that it was outside of the city.

We could not have been happier: the rooms were spacious, quiet, staff friendly, breakfast great (gbp10 pp), and best of all it has magnificient views of the mountinous area. The only two negatives are that it is a 10 minute drive from central Bath (will cost you gbp 10-12 by taxi, public transport is not really an option), and the wireless internet (which is free) in our room was spotty on the first day. The furniture and decor are also not the newest, but we didn't feel any discomfort.

Otherwise, it really is hard to tell where the negativity in other reviews is coming from - I would stay there again and highly recommend it for couples or anyone looking for a great getaway hotel in Bath area.

we stayed in bath in April and it was a chore really this hotel more of a B/B was abit old and tired scenery was about the only thing l enjoyed manager has a good sence of humour through .............. they say this is only 4 miles out of bath seemed like alot more to me we moved onto another hotel in the end as to isolated if you want quiet this is the spot

Stayed here in Nov last year. This really shouldn't be a hotel on BW's list as it's definatley more of a B&B. Very outdated rooms, radiators didn't work properly hence room was very cold and also an uncomfortable bed. I suspect that there is actually no chef in this hotel and that the owner cooks the food (at least that was the experience I had for dinner & breakfast). Food quality OK but not great value. Location is basically in the middle of nowhere, if you like that then this hotel (read B&B) might be for you. I certainly wouldn't stay here again and indeed, moved to the BW Centurion in Radstock after the first night.
