Perfect for what we needed, relaxation and friendly socially. My husband had an early appointment at the hospital nearby the following day so the perfect place to stop.

Good value for money but needs maintaining and more attention to detail. Elevator broken, fire in bar broken and waiting for parts, sign says refillable water bottles in rooms but they were single use cans, water dispenser had three different options but all gave same water, curtain falling off rail and desk lamp broken, taken away and not replaced. Staff are young and helpful but no one seems to be in-charge of the accommodation part of the business. It’s a shame as this has been a great boutique hotel in the past.

The boathouse

A beautiful place to stay and very friendly/helpful staff. It was perfect for the christmas break away we wanted to relax and escape busy life. The food and service was spot on and a lovely relaxed vibe surrounded by nature. The only begative was the room we booked was labelled to have a balcony and river riew, which is why i chose it for that extra reason. We had a comfy plus double room and it says balcony and river view on the booking site with this room, even under the room amenities it states balcony and river view for this room. Unfortilunately when we got shown to our room we had no balcony and a view of the car park and entrance, so everyone can see in as they drive or walk in. We tried to change but all the rooms were full so they could not. We still had a lovely stay, enjoying the river walk and surroundings from outside or down at the bar/restaurant. We would go back but confirm with the property wgich room we would be booking before confirming on booking sites as it is misleading and it was a bit disapointing when we found out. Would recomend a visit though.

A pretty Pub/Hotel in a lovely setting overlooking the river. Park&Ride to Bath next door, runs every 15 minutes. Breakfast was not included so extra £12.50 each, could have provided continental breakfast free but pay for cooked, there are no other options for food around. Atmosphere very nautical but felt average and a bit tired. Know this is close to Bath but at nearly £200.00 for the room I was expecting better.

Good having park & ride outside as to far to walk into Bath. Although there was a car park the parking bays were rather small and notices up about fines if certain rules not adhered too. Room No 9 had no views which was a disappointment and was above the kitchen so room smelt of food all the time.

Relaxing quality with personality

Atmospheric pub with rooms with a rowing club interior design style. It was a quality experience from check in to check out. Breakfast was one of the luxurious and extensive I’ve seen. Friendly, thoughtful service. Quiet comfortable room. A busy local bar and beer garden on Tuesday I stayed. Burger and single draught pint was £25.
