I stayed at the Shaw House Hotel this weekend with my boyfriend as we were guests at an evening wedding party being held there. We live in Somerset and figured it would be cheaper to stay over than get a taxi home the same night. The grounds themselves seemed nice, the restaurant area (where the wedding party was) was definitely... More

I met a friend who was staying here on a business trip. Although I cannot comment on the accommodation, the food was really good value, beautifully presented and cooked and the generous helping of fresh vegetables were very nice. Thoroughly recommend the baked alaska pudding - to die for! I have strongly recommended this hotel to several of the people... More

This is my second stay in as many weeks. What makes this place great is the staff, they are so very friendly and welcoming which seems to rub off on other guests who also all chat to each other - really nice when staying alone like me. The food is excellent and there is plenty to choose from, the desserts... More

A mid-week overnight stop while working 20 miles away lead to myself and a colleague having a couple of single rooms for the night. Set back from the Bath Road, behind some trees and bushes the place was suitably quiet and the atmosphere informal and relaxed. First impressions are good however the staircase up to the rooms is narrow, with... More

Friendly welcome at this good family run hotel. Reception areas and corridors a little cramped, but room very spacious and bathroom equally so. Decent flat screen TV, hairdryer, kettle and tea/coffee. Bed very comfortable. We stayed in the 4 poster jacuzzi suite and for a room obviously targetted at couples the lighting was badly arranged - very bright ceiling lights... More

We stayed there 3 nights. There was a little problem the first night that was totally solved by the hotel staff who has overwhelmed with gifts and services. Very a good place to stay and relax, as well as to is it Bath and nearby areas.
