Looking for a place to sleep then it’s ideal, comfortable bed, good shower, lots of parking, quiet. Basic accommodation and a little tired but pretty clean. The pub does good food but closes pretty early during the week.

Unfortunately the hotel and rooms were in pretty dire condition. Had planned to have dinner here but the moment we walked in and went through to the bar/dining area, we knew we would go elsewhere for dinner and in the morning we didn't fancy chancing the breakfast either. Main issue was one of the rooms was right by the kitchen extractor fan which was very noisy and very smelling. Air heavy with grease and it was a hot night so difficult to sleep without the windows open.

Comfortable and clean

Pros: All ok apart from food delay
Cons: Timing.
Location: Bath and West Showground
Had to wait a very long time for food. At our first breakfast we got up about (8am) but according to them they had run out of bread. They finally found bread later. We went elseware for our dinner.

Convenient & comfortable.

Pros: price and proximity to show.
Cons: Service for meals
Very close to the Bath & West Showground but we had to wait a very long time for food, both for the evening meal and for breakfast..
