“Decent place to stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 March 2007
3
people found this review helpful

This is an okay place to stay in Bath. It is about a 20 minute walk from the town center- buses run frequently, but my wife and I chose to walk. Walking back to the hotel after dark was fine for us since I'm a big guy, but I can see how single women may not want to do this walk at night (especially through the park).

As for the hotel itself, the host was not present when we arrived, so we had to just park and walk around for 45 minutes or so until he returned. Once the host returned, he was friendly and helpful. The room had two beds and some chairs, so it was very crowded and tough to find a place to set my suitcase. I think the host noticed we were crowded because he kindly moved on of the chairs out of our room without our asking him, which was appreciated. Cleanliness was in the lower 1/4 of the eight B&Bs I stayed in on this trip around England. There was nothing disgusting in the room, but everything felt a little run down and old (also slightly smelled like cigarette smoke).

This B&B served its purpose as a place to sleep, but don't expect any luxury.

Stayed November 2006

“Lovely Place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 December 2006

We decided to come to Bath for the weekend, and we choose Dene Villa because of it's web-page, it looked beautiful. When we got there, the hosts were extremly friendly and helpful.

The rooms were of excellent quality and the power shower was great.

It is 15-20 mins walk from the city centre, there is a nice park to walk through.

I have recommended my friends stay here when they visit Bath.
I would definitely return to Dene Villa again.

Thanks again Josie and Brian for your hospitality.

“Only okay”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2006

The hosts were nice enough & offered a typical English breakfast, however we found our room somewhat shabby. A tear or 2 in the bedding & the toilet didn't flush properly. They'd crammed a queen size bed & a single bed into a room that would have been better with just the one bed.

Location not too bad - about 15 minutes walk from city centre.

“Great B&B In Bath”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 July 2006
1
person found this review helpful

This bed and breakfast is a great value. The Dene Villa is located in a nice neighborhood on the outskirts of town, within walking distance of Victoria Park, the Royal Crescent, and the Circus. Other tourist attractions, such as the Abbey, Roman Baths, and Pulteney Bridge/Gardens, are just a few minutes away by bus or car. The well-decorated room was small, but very clean, and contained a TV, an electric fan, and a hair dryer. Owners Brian and Josie were wonderful hosts, and the breakfast was first-rate. For such great service at an incredibly low price in Bath, this bed and breakfast is highly recommended.

“nice location, nice basic b&b”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 March 2006

We stayed here right after Christmas. We picked them because they had the cheapest rate for a single, and my husband's brother was with us. Brian also gave us great directions for getting there, since we got lost driving in. Both of the rooms were quaintly decorated. We had a power shower, which I really appreciated. Brian's wife was unavailable when we stayed, but Brian made a good breakfast for us each morning. We never walked to town, just took the bus, which is about a 2 minute walk and a 5-10 minute ride, very cheap. There's an indian restaurant very close to the bed and breakfast with good tandori chicken, but skip the desserts.
