We chose Tasburgh Hotel because it could offer free on-site parking - something very few hotels in Bath are able to do and weren't we glad we did. From the moment we stepped in until the morning we left, Sue and her staff could not do enough for us. The house is a red-brick house dating from the 1890's - really unusual to find this building material anywhere in the city - set in 7 acres leading down to the Kennet and Avon Canal and with views across the City of Bath. The furnishings are elegant and comfortable; our room, "Tennyson", had two comfortable armchairs in addition to the usual bedroom furniture. Our visit coincided with a sudden drop in the outside temperature, but the whole house was always warm - not always the case in the UK during winter months.
Breakfast was a substantial cold buffet-freshly squeezed orange juice,fresh fruit,excellent cold meats and cheese,freshly baked croissants. A variety of cooked food was available at an additional cost.
We ate at the George in Bathampton, just a15-20 min walk away, at the Hole in the Wall and Yak Yeti Yak in Bath - all to be recommended.
Buses run every 15 miutes into Bath from the bus-stop outside the hotel- as parking costs £12.50 for 12 hours Mon-Sun in Bath, it's worth using these.
Sue recommended a visit to the Little Theatre Cinema - vintage night on Monday includes usherettes in 40's costume and an intermission with icecreams! The seats were very comfortable.
We had a wonderful time and would recommend to anyone - not quite sure who is writing poor reviews for Tasburgh House- p'raps the got the name of the place they stayed in mixed up!
