Somewhat lacking management and acoustics

modern decorthin wallgreasy food
The room presented a modern style.
There seemed not to be any manager interested in my stay. The walls appear thin, I could hear neighbors talking and also the toilet flushing. Breakfast was not great, the menu is good but food is very greasy, not a reflection on the normal pub menu.

excellent accommodation near bath

fabulous viewhuge bedbreakfast optionreally good dinner
The location had fabulous views. the room offered a huge bed and standard facilities (i used the hairdryer). breakfast included many options. dinner one evening was awesome. It was better than typical pub fare.
the room walls seemed thin. i could hear some noise from the adjacent room. this could be a concern if you are sensitive to noise.
