Comfortable stay in tidy rooms and the use of a lovely lounge area. Breakfast was so tasty and fulfilled everyone’s tastes. Only issue was that the showers had little water pressure

Hi Rebecca, Thanks for the review.We've just had a new shower pump installed so, it would be helpful to let us know if the pressure was low, so we could have fixed it immediately.Best regards,Bob & Liz

An amazing experience
Can’t rate our stay at Lorne House highly enough. The property is beautiful and so well equipped. The views to the rear of the premises are stunning. Bob and Liz were brilliant hosts; attentive, knowledgeable and kind - they really couldn’t have done anymore to make us feel welcomed. The room (which was an upgrade from what we had booked) was lovely. Clean, comfortable (the bed was super) and nicely decorated. Breakfast was delicious and a good variety of options meant we were very satisfied during our 4 day stay. All in all the experience was wonderful and very good value for money for what you get. Highly recommended if you want a central location to get to Bath and the surrounding area.

Mini Break 25-28th September 2023
Excellent 3 night stay at Lorne House. Friendly & attentive hosts who couldn't do enough for us. Lots of information provided prior to our stay. Excellent choice of breakfast with locally sourced food. Extremely comfortable bed in beautiful bedroom with stunning bathroom. Everything in Lorne House was extremely clean with the usual tea/coffee making facilities also available after a long day's sightseeing. Lorne House is handy for local buses which take you into Bath or Chippenham and beyond. The connection with Rev.W. Awdry, the author of the "Thomas the Tank" stories was an added bonus - he lived at Lorne House & there is a Blue Plaque to commerate this. All in all a wonderful mini break.

It was a lovely B&B in a very good location. We stayed two nights, the breakfast was excellent, the host gave me a great tip on getting into Bath by advocating the use of the X31 bus, which runs from just opposite the B&B to Bath city centre [took about 15 mins] - Car parking was available at the property or in an adjacent doctors surgery car park. All in all a very enjoyable two day city break.

Lovely B&B
Mini-family break. The hotel is set in Box, around 6miles away from Bath. We were met by the owner, Bob, who was very welcoming and accommodating to our requests. Breakfast was delicious and all staff were very friendly and helpful. Plenty of parking and easy access to Bath. The room was comfortable and the waterfall shower was amazing. Would love to come back again either as a family or couple
