I booked into this B&B on a business trip, and my first impressions were that it was a very cute, clean and friendly place. My opinions soon changed however.

Firstly, when booking in, there is no reception area, which I personally thought was a little odd. The room I stayed in was clean and tidy. However, for 4 days, the bathroom wasn't cleaned and the bin wasn't emptied. For the full week I was there, fresh towels were never put in the room, despite putting them on the floor to indicate that they needed to be laundered.

I have to say that the breakfast facilities and the food are very good, although they should consider offering more in the way of cereal - not everyone likes cornflakes!!

The oddest thing about this place is the man who I took to be the owner or manager. A rather bedragled chap who more often than not, smelt like he had been in the pub a tad too long! He was my point of contact, simply because I believed that he worked there. I later found out that he was a guest who the owners have let deal with matters in their absence!!

On a positive note, the walk into Bath itself is a mere 6-7 mins away and a rather pleasant one at that. Henrietta Park is at the back of the B&B, which is lovely!

If you do stay at this place, be prepared to meet the man from the basement room - he does not run or own this place though!!

We stay at Ashgrove during august 2011. We said at the man who open the door that we want to stay two night. The room was small and noisy. The breakfast was poor and the sausige so hard like a brick. All breakfast was served over a table without a tablecoat. My wife asked for a the but it arrived after several minutes. But the bad experience appened at evening : we come back after a tour at the "guestouse" and we founded our room engaded !! And all our clotes (we had pretty dressed) in the dinning room over a table!!! The man who give us the room the day before (he was drunked, his breath smells of alcool!!) said us that was a misunderstanding because we didn't say, in the morning after breakfast, that we wanted to stay another night, and he hunderstood "tonight" and not "two nights" that we wanted to.
Don't you see that we leave all out things in the badroom ? Is simple to believe that we stay another night!
So we take the luggage and we went tho another (real) accomodation.
It was the worse esperience in England this summer.
In Italy (the country where we came from) for this behaviour autorities CLOSE immidiatly a guesthouse.
Very very bad!
Siamo stati in questa pseudo "guesthouse" nell'agosto 2011. E' stato un incubo. La stanza era piccola e superiore al valore di 65 sterline richieste. Bagno con un lavandino microscopico. Abbiamo detto al tizio che ci ha accolto che volevamo restare due notti.Al mattino la colazione (pessima) si consuma su tavoli di formica senza tovaglia. Il giorno successivo torniamo verso le cinque del pomeriggio e troviamo la nostra stanza occupata da altri ospiti. Il tizio che ci aveva dato la stanza, di fronte alle nostre rimostranze (aveva un pessimo alito da alcool alle cinque del pomeriggio) ci ha detto che aveva capito male, che non avevamo detto dopo colazione che volevamo trattenerci ecc... nonostante fossimo stati chiari al nostro arrivo di voler rimanere due notti (ha sostenuto di aver inteso "tonight" al posto di "two nights"). Abbamo dovuto prendere le nostre cose e trovare un'altra stanza in piena stagione turistica.
Veramente pessimo.

myself and my family stayed for 3 nights and loved it...... very clean and welcoming...... as for the negative comments from sazzy Sal well don't know whether they've got the right hotel. Owner was lovely never smelt smoke in or around the building if anything smelt of the lovely cooked breakfast you received in the morning.....Homely warm and welcoming definitely recommend anyone to stay there,

I have stayed at the guest house a few times and never really thought much of it or its extremley rude owners but as its my company that books it and its very close to my work i dont complain......This time i am i had my children with me this time and never again will i go back i even had to take it upon myself to alert the police. Our family room backed on to the garden and i was amazed to see drug taking activities happening in broaday light with children in the building, first off i noticed an odd smoke smell and when looked out of the window i saw the owner and cleaner and owners wife in the garden smoking what looked like a joint and certainly smelt illegal!!!!!!! When i confronted the owner which was straight away as i went up to the kitchen and banged the door no answer i walked in knowing they were in the garden and again i was astounded to see white lines of powder on the side, the owner saw me and as i statred to explain what i had seen ,he went mental myself and children were told to leave there and then and to be truthfull we wouldnt have stayed a second minute.......DiSGUSTING>>>>>>SHOULD BE CLOSED DOWN FOR ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES...........
