Dirty toilets, no toilet rolls in ladies, dirty tables with old food festering in the cracks on old wooden tables, one customer charged £2.45 for a glass of blackcurrant squash with tap water! We booked a table for 4 on Sunday night 5th May 2013. We were told no later than 8.00pm or we wouldn't be served! The menu we... More

Was a bit dubious about eating here as it is a very new looking pub and I assumed it would be a bit like a Harvester or similar. I was wrong. The location is beautiful and the building itself is tastefully decorated. Service was quick and efficient and the food was extremely good given the fairly cheap price of it.... More

We had the disabled room. It was beautifully furnished with a balcony looking over the river. The location was excellent as you could leave the car and get a Park and Ride bus which took you into the city in 10 minutes. No parking hassles. It was very pleasant sitting in the lounge with tea, coffee or a cold drink... More

What a stunning setting. It is rare to find somewhere where the photographs really do not do it justice. We had a first floor bedroom with beautiful balcony overlooking the river. As others have said, it is in a great location to go shopping in Bath - only 10 minutes by the park and ride bus next door. Although the... More

A lovely little hotel/pub, perfectly located for those wishing to explore bath, but far enough from the town centre to be perfectly peaceful, and blessed with a gorgeous view over the river and the countryside beyond. The staff were friendly and polite and our room was spectacular, large, well appointed and very clean, with the most enormous balcony I have... More

We stayed 2nights in a room overlooking the river. The room was superb, beautifully appointed, the staff were very attentive and pleasant and the food was great. Being next door to the Bath park and ride was a bonus so getting in and out of the city was easy.

New staff who are very good. Beds, rooms, service and location particularly good. An 'old favorite' of the family's improved even more by new management. Excellent value. Great atmosphere. Particularly like the bus to Bath right outside. A feeling of being in the country but actually within striking distance of a bustling and exciting city. You need a physics degree... More
