Overall a good stay, the rooms are dated and there were large damp patches on the walls but the beds were comfortable and the bathroom is nicely done. Very convenient location and a few minutes walk to the shopping and amenities. The pub itself is lovely, and the included breakfast was very nice.

It was great to be in an old pub in the centre of Bath where the bed and bathroom were very clean and luxurious, and yet the pub still had that local vibe. Loved the rhubarb gin as well as the great pints of bitter. Would definitely stay at the pub again when we next visit Bath.

We stayed for one night in October. Right in town literally around the corner to the spa and historic roman bath ( two separate venues). A good pub with rooms above. I read the previous reviews and having no problem with access by stairs only to a quiet room booked a night. The problem is that the previous ' quiet room' review was wrong! Buses pass outside the bedroom windows all through the night, as do revellers and early/ late workers. Be forewarned: ear plugs are very much recommended. I would have had an easy night if I hadn't left my fitted ear plugs ( essential travellors equipment in my opinion) at an earlier stay! Very much worth the money otherwise.

Very unique property. A lift would have been nice for getting our luggage to the top floor, but we knew there wasn’t one available when we booked our stay. Still a very enjoyable place.

Amazing staying. Strongly recommend.
That was my first time in a pub/hotel. And i cannot be happier about my experience. The place at all - either room and pub - are so cozy! The cleanliness was surprising, as well the food. A silent place, very well located. I strongly recommend your stay. 10/10!

The property was in a great location and within easy walking distance to all the major attractions. Breakfast was good and the bar area welcoming. The rooms were clean and comfortable. A major problem for us was the lack of a lift as my husband struggled with the stairs to the second floor. If you are young and fit though this would not be an issue

Love the room! Clean and spacious. The reason I gave only 4 stars is the steps you have to climb to get to your room. In our case, we were given a room on the 4th (or was it 3rd) floor and it's a good thing we were only carrying an overnight bag and not a 50 lbs luggage.

Great location, room was not the best
Best part is the location, super close to the town center! Breakfasts were excellent. Everyone was friendly and helpful. My room was on the top floor. Old building, so the winding staircase and slanting floors were not a surprise. Didn’t like the odor in the room, and could not open the window or ventilate any other way. Poor water pressure, sometimes cold water not available. Nicely updated bathroom, comfy bed, well decorated, but carpet was shabby and should be replaced.
