Reviews for The Bath Priory Hotel and Restaurant
Lost its charm and now just expensive with poor service/ coffee and cake.
Booked for a party of eight for morning coffee/cake. When we arrived a male member of staff told us they had prepared for us outside but said we would have to come indoors if it rained. We requested that the large parasol be put up to protect us and he grudgingly started to do it and then said he couldn’t because high winds were forecast. There was no wind whatsoever . It started raining so we decided to come indoors . The male member of staff was officious and we clearly were a nuisance . What made this even worse is that the hotel appeared virtually empty with no other guests needing service. The female member of staff that took our order was pleasant and helpful but whoever was making the drinks took forever. The only food offered was carrot cake and after one of the party asked for a pastry the waitress went to check and found one. The coffee, cake ( very small helping) and pastry were all very underwhelming . The hotel generally feels tired and unloved. Such a shame because it used to be charming. We definitely won’t be coming back.

What a lovely touch of luxury, with a spectacular garden.
A group of us were heading to Bath for a book club meeting and a few of us decided to stay in a hotel with a bit of luxury and a spa. This was the perfect respite location, magnificent room, brilliant food and a wonderful garden as well. Staff could not have been more friendly and helpful, only a short taxi ride into town and on the day we left we had a wonderful lunch. Yes, you may think it’s not Cheap that she would be hard pressed to find a more friendly, luxurious and comfortable place to stay. We will return, for more spa treatments and this time we have dinner, and attack your magnificent wine list.

Wonderful Afternoon Tea
We visited on our first trip to Bath and booked for afternoon tea, my wife is celiac and she had the gluten free afternoon tea. Staff were very helpful and talked through the options and discussed the allergy alternatives and this always gives confidence. Both afternoon teas were lovely. We spent over 2 hours and didn’t feel rushed. As we didn’t manage to finish we were able to take scones home with us. A lovely setting with great staff. Would recommend.

Bath weekend break.
Carlotta is indeed a great value for this business, but being honest, everybody and everything is outstanding in this Hotel. It has been a pleasure from every angle our weekend break in the The Bath Priory. The hotel is very special and the whole experience has been memorable for us. Service, staff, rooms, lounges, decoration, art, pools, facilities, gardens, everything is simply marvellous. My 12 years old doesn’t stop asking when we will be back !!!. I would like also to share a minor improvement that it is just probably a personal appreciation. Although the category of this Hotel is what it is and therefore everything associated is according to this category, I consider slightly oversized a two £39 wine glasses (Chardonnay & Syrah) without previous discrete consultation through the wine list. Piotr, the restaurant manager, was a fantastic and nice host along our dinner experience, so just suggesting some attention on these generous recommendations.

The perfect mini break
Gorgeous room with such a comfy four-poster bed. The hotel generally was spotless. Lots of character - the fine dining room was more muted than the Pantry but that worked well for an evening meal. Staff worked hard to meet the needs of all guests and were very understanding if something needed to be changed. Food was exceptional - some people might find the service slow but it added to our relaxation. Indoor and outdoor pools were both lovely. One of the best massages I’ve ever had in a beautiful spa. The edge of city location (still only 20 minutes walk to the centre - scenic route) is the perfect balance between a city break and a tranquil retreat.
