Reviews for The Bath Priory Hotel and Restaurant
Bravo overall Bath Priory
Overall we enjoyed our 4-night stay and rated accordingly. What went well - Easy parking - Walkable access to Bath Centre, enabling us to fulfil our plans during our stay - Pleasant staff. In particular Dylan on reception and Niamh, Ewan and Dylan in the lounge and dining areas, along with Gurval the GM in the restaurant and bar area. Some staff knew the area better than others and offered some ideas on what to do whilst in Bath. - Comfortable room (Camden Suite) with welcome fruit and biscuits and daily paper, and welcome gift and Easter present for our daughter. We were provide a slight extension on check out too, thank you - Enjoyable flexibility at breakfast and dining from The Pantry (omelette very good) - Pools (in and out) and spa facilities accessible with restrictions dependent on age - Access to the grounds and dining on the terrace along with games such as boules - we had some billing queries - by working with reception and the GM Gurval we resolved the queries, thank you Even Better If - our room had a blue dog toy in it, presumably from a previous visit. A blue cleaning cloth was also left on the floor one night after turn down. The fitted sheet in the main bedroom had a small tear, all of which was avoidable. - all staff were friendly, however some staff seemed rather less confident and empowered to help when other potentially more senior staff were unavailable. The bar and lounge area could be understaffed for periods especially when dining periods were busier, meaning it was protracted to replenish a drink for example - pool access was at points quite regimented : for example when staying in the pool for a few minutes after 11am whilst my wife checked if our room was cleaned, we were asked to leave the pool. There is a fine line between efficiency and officiousness and this felt rather like the latter on this occasion - on 2 mornings we were provided dinner menus for one of us instead of the breakfast menu, this was avoidable - Camden Suite windows rattled heavily in the wind and the fasteners were loose There was also a DVD player in our lounge but no DVD library on site - The shower door was loose and made it more challenging to make sure water stayed in the shower cubicle - knowledge of alarm test on Tuesdays at 11am : had to check this was a drill having evacuated the room as a precaution via the nearest exit - Front of house are also welcoming new guests and helping them settle in whilst managing existing guests needs. This leads to gaps in availability in staff at times front of house leaving other staff members exposed at points. - There was a leak in a bedroom above The Pantry meaning dining space options were limited. After a patient wait at reception whilst new guests arrived and were offered the only table opening in The Pantry (I was literally stood with the menu in my hand whilst hearing the only spare table be reserved). After speaking with Rebecca at the desk, we were however able to get some preordered Pantry dining options delivered to the lounge area instead. The main restaurant was fully booked, albeit it appeared with limited capacity. - onsite charging option for electric vehicles We hope these comments help enhance future service delivery at The Bath Priory. Thank you for looking after us.

Perfect romantic luxury stay
Fantastic location, amazing services, staff were absolutely wonderful. Dylan in particular was amazing in helping me organise some surprises for my partner after I proposed! We loved the property and the gorgeous grounds, the wonderful spa and swimming pool and just everything about the property and our stay! We’ll be recommending this gorgeous hotel to everyone!

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.
