A hidden gem not far from Bath.

5 / 5 Excellent

Fabulous hotel. The room was beautiful; spacious, modern with traditional touches and the bathroom was amazing!! The staff could not have been more helpful and one member of staff (Brad) remembered we were staying for our 25th Wedding Anniversary and congratulated us. We also got a free celebratory glass of prosecco each on our anniversary, Small touches that meant a lot to us. The restaurant was excellent too, with one of the best meals we have had. Only down side was the drinks were very pricey (£10 for a port and lemonade) Would definitely stay again and would highly recommend.
