Stayed here with my Mother weekend before last and will not be repeating the experience! Staff were nice enough and happy to answer questions about the city but the whole place hasn't had any money spent on it in years. Very tired, dusty, unkempt and in a general state of disrepair. On arrival in our room on the top floor... More

Owners are nice enough, chatty and friendly, however they don't live there, and only turn up to cook breakfast, and check you in or out. We had booked here as no where else central had two rooms available as close to the centre as this one. We also booked a parking space, as another reviewer has mentioned there are only... More

We initially booked this guest house as it look like good value in a convenient location - however we now seriously regret our stay!!! Upon arrival there was no owner of staff present at the door so after some investigation we eventually found a list which showed we were in room 5 which we then made our own way up... More

The couple were friendly and helpful. Probably the person who stayed in my room before I checked in broke the dial of the radiator, and the male proprietor was very quick in fixing that for me. Though at the end there was no heating in my room but it was quite a warm night so it was fine. The breakfast... More

My husband and I made the mistake of booking in a rush before reading any reviews and we are paying for it now. Sadly, we have to agree with the previous writer. It is the worst b & b we have stayed in as well. We feel the need to write our honest opinion of the experience we had. We... More

The worst B&B I have stayed in, which is sad because the rest of the weekend was brilliant. Bath is a wonderful place, shops and restaurants brilliant and of course the company that I went with. This B&B should not be allowed to trade. The property needs total renovation. The reception is a little desk under the stairs, where the... More

Stayed last night and what can I say. No welcome apart from we couldn't check in as we were 12mins early. As for parking, DO NOT BOOK if you are wanting a b&b with parking. There are only 2 spaces and the owner parks in at least one of them. Does it not tell you something the fact that the... More

Having recently traveled to the UK we spent our first night in Bath at the Dorset Villa. We were well satisfied with both the accommodations and the service. We saw nor encountered any bugs. Our room was clean and adequate. We did not stay there for any reason but to sleep and have breakfast. The rest of the time we... More

We stayed for one night - before reading reviews! - BIG mistake!! The web site refers to 'recently refurbished' rooms, they haven't seen a lick of paint for years. The bed sheets, carpets and towels were theadbare and stained. The shower head in the ensuite could have been sold to terrorists to make biological weapons - it may never have... More

The reviews of this B&B being dirty and dusty are all true. Unfortunately it gets worse. Having returned from Bath this weekend, my sister-in-law is totally covered in bites!! She woke up on Saturday morning having been chewed by bed bugs !! Needless to say she didn't pay for the pleasure. Beware.
