Reviews for The Bath Priory Hotel and Restaurant
Lovely Bath hotel. Would recommend
We were booked for a two night stay at The Bath Priory for my husband’s birthday. For our first day we have booked 90 minute treatments at the Spa. The spa was amazing, one of the best I’ve been to and my husband said it was the best massage he had ever had. The prices of treatments were at the high end for a spa but definitely worth the money so we were happy to pay that. From registering at the spa to the end of the treatment everything was pure luxury and felt very special. 100% recommend a trip to the spa for treatments. The pool area is nice, quite small but well maintained and clean. We then checked into our room, it was a superior room overlooking the beautiful gardens. The check in process was exceptional with a lovely tour of the hotel and we were walked to our room which was a lovely touch. The room was beautiful and spacious, bed was very comfortable and the bathroom a good size too. We ate at The Pantry restaurant on our first evening and the food was amazing. I was surprised when we asked some questions about the menu that the waitress didn’t know the answers but she went and found out for us promptly which is all you can ask for and perfectly acceptable. The food is quite expensive but it is worth the money. We had breakfast included in our booking and it was very nice with a great selection, all served to you at the table in a lovely relaxed atmosphere. On the second more chose to have room service breakfast which was also lovely. All service charges were automatically added on, including at the spa but we were happy to pay as the service was very good. All the staff were very professional, polite, and helpful. We walked into Bath from the hotel which was an easy 25 minute walk, we preferred walking to driving in to avoid parking in town. I would highly recommend a stay at this hotel if you want a high end luxury stay in a beautiful location.

First Class Hotel
Lovely hotel. Hassle free parking. Large clean rooms with evening turn down service and choice of newspapers. Four acres of beautiful gardens. Plenty areas to relax in hotel with very comfortable seating. Ambience all round very relaxed. All staff were friendly and professional. Swimming pool and steam room very clean and well looked after. Adjoining spa provides luxurious relaxing treatments. Breakfast choice and quality first rate. Waiter service only, so much better than queuing at a buffet area. Shout outs to Kristina and George for their attentive service.

Lovely stay overall, but small issues made a big difference
Claire and I stayed on Sunday night on a dinner, bed and breakfast rate. Prior to arrival we were contacted and sent the Valentine’s menu, which we agreed to for a small premium. As with previous visits, check in was seamless and welcoming. Claire also enjoyed a lovely spa treatment during our stay, which was a real highlight for her and very well delivered. We were allocated our historically favourite room, however this time it did feel in need of some TLC. The very old wooden frame windows clearly require repair and repainting, the lampshade was cracked internally, and there were visible marks in the carpet and scuffs on the walls. These are understandable in a busy hotel, but for a five star Relais & Châteaux property at this price point, rooms should really feel immaculate. Dinner itself was excellent, as was the wine flight, and the service started strongly. Each course and wine was initially presented with care and explanation, which set expectations for a refined dining experience. Unfortunately, that standard slipped noticeably during the main course, which was simply placed in front of us with no description before the waitress walked away. Again, on its own that might have been fine, but expectations had already been set. More disappointing was the missing pre dessert parfait. Instead, dessert was placed directly in front of us. When I queried the missing course, I was shown an alternative menu without the parfait listed. I then asked to see the original menu we had been presented with at the start of the meal, where the item was clearly included. The biggest disappointment was not the absence of the dish itself, but the attempt to suggest it had never been available. I raised these points at checkout and the hotel made a token gesture by removing the service charge, which was appreciated, although it did not fully offset what should have been a special evening. It was a small moment, but it left a bitter taste and created an unnecessary level of disappointment. The Bath Priory remains a beautiful hotel with excellent food and spa facilities, but at this level, consistency, transparency, and attention to detail really matter.

Remarkable hotel!
Everything about this place is fantastic, we couldn't have been happier with the food, location, services, facility, or staff. We only stayed one night so we didn't have an opportunity to take advantage of any of their extra services (spa, etc.), but based on what we experienced I can only imagine those are top notch as well. Easy walking distance to the major tourist locations in Bath, and set in a residential neighborhood full of parks and pretty buildings. If you are looking for a high-end experience, this is a great place to stay while in Bath!
