Can you ask for more ? :-)
Great place to be after a long week. All kinds of services. We stayed one night and felt very comfortable. House and Garden are absolutely stunning. Restaurant Dinenr and Breakfast was excellent.

Poor experience
We were interested to join the spa membership. After calling to discuss we were sent a personal invite to tour and try the facilities. We were asked to call again on the morning to check capacity, and reconfirm appointment. All good until we travelled to Bath and were greeted at the spa and asked to pay £50 for the privilege of seeing the facilities, even though the pool was closed for maintenance and we had half an hour to try. This is one of the only spas in Bath that doesn’t have a waiting list, with a £500 joining fee and £2800 membership, the tour cost seemed petty, and at the very least should have been mentioned up front. A real shame.

The level and quality of service does NOT match the high prices
The Bath Priory is set in beautiful gardens within historic buildings. Our junior suite was lovely, offering amazing park views, and the bathroom was stunning and impressively spacious. The one negative side to the accommodation were the glass doors for the toilet, shower and bathroom. Also, the fold-up bed was very uncomfortable, and an emergency light shone directly into my face all night, which disturbed my sleep. The walls are not soundproofed and someone’s alarm in the room next door to our suite woke me up at 5am. The spa is pleasant, though the pool is tiny and the relaxation area room felt cold because the patio French doors had been left open. I chose the ‘relaxed’ Pantry restaurant to dine at, as visiting Bath Spa University with two teenage neurodivergent lads, but it did not feel relaxed. We waited 45 minutes for our main courses (we didn’t order starters). The menu seemed overpriced, staff were young, inexperienced and inattentive, and service was extremely slow. The singular portion butter served for the three of us with the bread was rock hard straight from the fridge; the pork belly was tough and rubbery, with the fat insufficiently rendered. The only potato side available was fries — I would have preferred mashed potatoes. The nearly £40 steaks were adequate, but there was no choice of sauces; the one served was heavily herbed and overpowering (tarragon and basil), which may not suit everyone. We booked a room rate that included dinner, but this was not reflected on our bill. Breakfast was made to order only, not buffet style, which we weren’t informed of, so we had to rush the staff to get served in time for our taxi. The full English was fine. My soft‑boiled eggs arrived in a bowl, not in eggcups, so I didn’t really know how to dip the soldiers — and I was given only about three sourdough soldiers for two eggs. You must ask for everything extra (juice, tea, coffee, water, toast, condiments…), and staff measure portions (they asked how many spoonfuls of ketchup and served a tiny half glass of juice). It’s inconvenient, mean and silly really, especially when staff aren’t available to top up drinks or wait for toast and condiments while your meal goes cold. Would I return? Not at that price and level and quality of service — it wasn’t good value for money. It felt stuffy, overpriced and not very relaxed. There are much nicer great value exceptional service and relaxed atmosphere spa experiences in the area like Calcot manor in Tetbury.

Relaxing afternoon in a gorgeous setting
My husband and I stopped in for coffee during a visit to Bath and had a lovely experience. We’d heard good things about the hotel and decided to call in after lunch with friends. All the staff were welcoming and friendly but I just wanted to give a special mention to Oscar, who we found to be particularly attentive and knowledgeable about the local area. He took the time to recommend places to visit, including Sydney Gardens, The Holburne Museum and Prior Park. We ended up visiting all three and thoroughly enjoyed them all! We will definitely be returning.

Grand manor with superior gardens and attentive staff!!
Gorgeous hotel with superb gardens! We interacted with quite a lot of the staff and found all of them extremely friendly and happily willing to go above and beyond! What made our stay truly enjoyable was the portable air conditioning. The staff knew we had just finished the Cotswold Way under extreme heat and had the a/c on in our nicely cooled room! Thank you for thoughtful care to make our stay truly wonderful!
