Top Bath Hotel Reviews

Bailbrook House

8/10 Good

"The staff are lovely, always greet us with a smile and a hello. The only thing we didn’t like was there was no milk in the room for a cup of tea."

The Gainsborough Bath Spa

8/10 Good

"The stay itself was excellent - from the room, to the spa facilities, etc., it is a very well-serviced hotel. The pool and thermal spa were ok although could do with a bit of a clean to remove rust, but it was ok to use. The spa treatments we booked were a different story: My husband and I emailed to request couples massage as it was our 1-year wedding anniversary. As I am pregnant, we were told we would have to choose different treatments and although normally for couples massages they have to have the same treatment, they said they could accommodate this for us as it was due to the pregnancy. When the time came for the treatment we realised they booked us for 2 different treatment rooms. I did not say anything at the time as I was looking forward to my treatment. My husband enjoyed his treatment and said the therapist was excellent, and had put focus on the problem areas they discussed. For the mum-to-be treatment however, I have to say I was very disappointed. The treatment itself was underwhelming to say the least. No focus was put on the problem areas discussed, and all the massage areas had almost 0 pressure. The back and foot massage were the most disappointing, and it felt like the lady was either new, or not keen on foot massages. The only time she put in effort was on the arms which was a shame the rest of the areas didn't get the same treatment. Stay 5/5, Spa Facilities 4/5, Spa treatment 3/5"

Lansdown Grove

10/10 Excellent

"Really lovely hotel in a great location. The staff were extremely friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. Great choice at breakfast which we really enjoyed. We were worried we would have nowhere to park, but there were plenty of spaces when we arrived."

Oldfields House

"Beautiful room. Well located"

Best Western Limpley Stoke Hotel
