    The location was perfect. Just outside Bath and only about 8 minutes on the bus, which were very regular. Louise was a perfect host giving us all the information we would need about the buses, recommend tours etc. Room was large, clean and nicely decorated.

    Nothing! Everything was perfect.

    Lovely host who gave us lots of information about buses into/out of town and where to have breakfast. Bus stop across the road which was super convenient for getting to/from Bath. Very comfortable room with lots of added extras, which was lovely. Breakfast down the road in the Hub was good value, plenty of choice and very nice. Had a great stay and would recommend, would also be more than happy to return.

    No breakfast or any other food, which is ashame because the pub downstairs looks very nice but seems to be closed most of the time. You can walk down the road to a cafe that's part of a new housing development but that didn't appeal, especially in bad weather.

    Quaint and cosy decor, we really liked the chocolate treats left in the room, which was quiet although on a busy road. Well located for walks to Prior Park and then into Bath centre, also lots of frequent buses.

    Our room was amazing. It was sooo cute and this is probably the cleanest place I have ever stayed!!!!! Our room and bathroom were spotless (we chose the one with an external private bathroom and this was just across the hallway). The landlady Louise was fantastic. She could not have done more to help. She had even downloaded and printed out the bus timetable for the days we were staying. The bus stop is literally across the road (a minutes walk) and the bus takes about 8 mins to get you into the middle of town. Louise was not serving food at the time we went but had printed out a menu from the local cafe (which again is literally across the road) and that was sooo good. There is absolutely nothing bad to say about this property/location/facilities. I would 100% definitely recommend and would definitely stay here again.

    The location was absolutely perfect, regular buses from pretty much the front door into the centre. The property was really lovely - quirky, fun decor, incredible bed. The host was wonderful, she had prepared bus timetables and a menu for the local eatery, explained the quick and easy route into town, left some lovely treats in the room for us and was warm and welcoming, would 100% recommend!

    The only negative was the shower could have been better and more powerful bit it was clean.

    The location was great as there was a bus stop very close by, with regular buses into the city. The room and bathroom were very clean and comfortable. There were plenty of tea and coffee in the room and we had a can of gin and biscuits on arrival. The host was very friendly and had even printed off a bus timetable and menu for a cafe that's down the road.

    Nothing negative, but high season prices - understandable given that a rugby weekend coincided with Xmas market. Still better value than anywhere else we found in Bath.

    All good - lovely comfortable room, warm and cosy. Very convenient for transport into the city. Generous snacks (!) and a plentiful supply of hot drink supplies (tea bags, coffee and particularly the little milk containers). Free parking! Reasonable breakfast available 5 minutes walk away.

    Lovely room, bit on the small side, nice and cosy tho. Bathroom down the hall, which wasn't a problem but was conscious abt making noise with doors opening and closing

    Lovely host, informed us where we catch the bus from and to have breakfast. Out of the centre, but very quick and easy to get there.

    Not an issue for us but if you want to be somewhere with lots of bars and restaurants around you need to travel into Bath as the bar only opens Friday evening and does not offer food.

    A comfortable, warm, quiet, large room, which was not only extremely clean but had loads of thoughtful touches, such as crisps, chocolate and biscuits. The host was fabulous and extremely helpful with bus routes and information on the local cafe. A well placed location with a return bus to the city centre every 20 mins at only £3.60 return.
