During a recent month-long trip to the UK we stayed in 14 different B&Bs scattered throughout the island. All were highly rated here on TripAdvisor, and we were pleased with almost all of them, but Athole House stood out above the others. Wolfgang, the proprietor, was very responsive during the search process and in making the arrangements. He called us... More

Very nice people run this place, they have created the Perfect B and B. Peaceful location. Large fully equipped rooms, everything working perfectly. Beautiful gardens. Off road parking for cars. Excellent breakfast, me being a vegan was no problem and my wife enjoyed kippers with egg. We will stay here again.

Only stayed for one night on way to Plymouth but would have liked to stay longer. Hosts very welcoming and friendly without being Invasive. Wolfgang very knowledgable about the area and very approachable. Our room was deluxe with king size bed (we like space) and was very spacious, high ceilings, large bay window with window seat, sofa and coffee table.... More

We had a fantastic stay and Athole House is definitely well-deserving of top position on Trip Advisor, and of all the positive comments other people have made before. Josephine and Wolfgang were very attentive hosts - thank you. Our room (Beckford) was enormous and absolutely spotless and the attention to detail was amazing. The breakfast menu was excellent with a... More

We stayed for 2 nights as a birthday treat and to take in a rugby match on the Saturday. From the moment we arrived we knew that we had chosen well; Wolfgang welcomed us in (even though it was early, and our room wasn't ready), let us leave our car in the car park and told us the quickest way...

We stayed at Athole Guest House for a two day break to celebrate my 50th birthday. It came so well recommended on TripAdvisor that it seemed the obvious choice, but lucky that we booked early as we got the only remaining room. I don't know what to add that hasn't already been said before. Wolfgang and Josephine seem to know... More

We stayed at Athole for several days during our stopover in Bath. Wolfgang and Josephine were very welcoming. They gave us excellent advice on what to see and where to walk. Wolfgang seemed to know every place to eat in Bath, and directed us to several, ranging from the local pub to a very nice restaurant. Our room was comfortable... More
