“Very Lovely but skimping lets this establishment down”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 October 2011

Stayed overnight last weekend. Beautiful location and amazing views. We had a very good sized double ensuite, but the proprietors let themselves down with skimping in a lot of areas.
1. Couldnt have a proper shower as there was no shower screen, otherwise the bathroom was was fine with a lovely deep bath. 2. Whilst we had a nice sized double room we had the tiniest TV and had to move the table on which it stood to the bottom of the bed so that we could see it (and its not our eyesight that's gone). TV reception wasn't brilliant, with the picture freezing albeit briefly but periodically (aerial amplifier might help). 3. Wallpaper in bedroom starting to look tired and seems to have suffered from the elements around and under the window. 4. It was a cold autumnal night yet the central heating never came on. When referred to by the lady of the house all she could say was that it (the weather) warms up quickly in the day. 5. Need to be able to use hairdryer in front of mirror, this couldn't be done. 6. Whilst there were tea/coffee making facilities, and a choice, they were limited. My friend and I only like tea so we were rationed to one cup each overnight. 7. Bacon at breakfast was past its best. 8. Whilst the lady of the house was polite, we sensed that she was not comfortable in her role as host. Lots of pregnant pauses in conversation. So overall not worth £100.00 for the night that we paid and whilst there is the potential it does not at the moment in time warrant luxury status.

“Lovely views, good sized room.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 October 2011

Priory Steps is set in an elevated position overlooking Bradford Upon Avon and beyond with the most beautiful views. It is a charming house filled with the most interesting antiques. The bedroom was a good size. However we did feel that this stay was very over priced compared with other B&Bs that we have stayed in. We felt we could have done with the heating on to take the chill off the room when getting up and we had to share a teabag and buy milk as not sufficient available in room for two cups each! All in all we did enjoy our stay, but only rated it as average for what we had paid!

Room Tip: We had a first floor bedroom, which was quiet, a good size, fabulous views and good sized bathroom w...

“Great stay I will be back and will recommend to friends”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2011

When booking over the phone the hosts could not of been more helpful. Great welcome very relaxing, quiiet lovely large room and breakfast was delicious. Priory Steps is in the lovely setting of Bradford on Avon and a cycle ride along the canal to Bath was very picturesque. Mine was a short stay where business was the reason for being in the area but a great pleasure to beable to spend some time exploring. Will be back and certainly recommend to family and friends for a longer visit.

Room Tip: Off the road with quiet rooms at the back

“grubby around the edges and very over-priced”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2010

Over-priced for what you get - a room that needs redecoration, new curtains & carpet and a good clean, not impressed by carpet in bathrooms. Would have expected much better quality breakfast for the price charged, also better quality tea/coffee making facilities in the room.

“Absolutely charming and a pleasure to stay.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 March 2010

Priory Steps is a tranquil, comfortable and charming place to stay. The room was tastefully decorated and very comfortable. Loved the little sitting room attached and large bathroom. Easy access to train station and ideal place to walk and explore Bradford on Avon.
Highly recommend.
