If you want the best, look no further!
Pros:

What an experience. The BEST!! My husband surprised me with a long weekend stay at Bailbrook House Hotel, with all of my friends and family, and he'd been arranging the whole thing for months, alongside the incredible team at Bailbrook. There was surprise after surprise, and every member of staff was not only so incredibly helpful (nothing was too much trouble), but they were delighted for me at each turn, when another friend or family member showed up. From check in, to private breakfast rooms, to our epic Suite, to the private dinner and everything in between - we were cared for at each turn. I couldn't recommend a place more highly and we will 100% be returning for another stay. Special shout out to Lorella for helping my lovely husband plan the Birthday weekend of dreams, the reception team who are just wonderful, and also to Sukina and Dobrinka who are just superstars. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Lovely hotel but.....
Pros:

Lovely hotel with wonderful staff, nothing is to much trouble. Unfortunately the downside is the price of drinks in the comfortable bar. While a pint was £5.50 a medium size 175 ml wine was £15!

Great hotel, 40 minute walk into Bath
Pros:

What a find! We celebrated my birthday in Bath and were so pleased with our choice of hotel. No parking in a public car park in busy Bath, the Bailbrook House Hotel has a large free car park. The staff are very friendly and efficient. The breakfast is excellent with a vast choice and lovely Ramona kept everything running smoothly. Our room, standard double, was large and comfortable and included easy chairs. It was a great stay and we would happily recommend the hotel and will certainly return when we visit Bath again.

Pros:

Stayed here on a Dinner Bed and Breakfast rate. I thought this was excellent value for money. Service was generally ok if a little disjointed at times

A pleasant well run hotel set in a beautiful building and grounds but in need of a refresh.
Pros:

This is nice hotel in a quiet area of Bath in a beautiful building. The location is very quiet just off the A46 with Bath city centre only a short drive or taxi ride away. There is plenty of free parking available. The hotel has two separate buildings the grade II listed Manor House where we stayed and a more modern annexe known as Bailbrook Court.

We found the staff very friendly and helpful and the facilities were of a good standard. The rooms were exceptionally clean but they are definitely in need of a refresh. The furniture is dated and decor is old fashioned. Considering the price for the Manor House rooms we found our room to be lacking any element of luxury and at this price point we expected more.

This hotel building and grounds are beautiful and the rooms are large. With some investment there is such potential for Bailbrook House to be something very special. Unfortunately without an update to the decor and interior furnishings I think this hotel will become overshadowed by many other accomodation options available in Bath at the same price point or less. I really hope Handpicked hotels has a plan to invest in this wonderful building for the future.

That being said, If you are looking for a well run comfortable hotel with easy access to Bath, I would certainly recommend Bailbrook House.

RAF veterans reunion for the second time - rated 5+
Pros:

We are a group of RAF veterans and booked into Bailbrook for a second reunion there - the previous one being 2022. We could not fault the rooms, service and food for our two night stay. A buffet on the first night and a sit down dinner on the second. The sit down dinner being semi formal - blazer or jacket and tie. The duty manager on the First night sorted out one of our group with a jacket, shirt and tie as he had forgotten to bring one. All the staff bright and smiling regardless of who it was. We would come again, but my group wished for another location but agreed that another hotel within the group was their preferred choice.
Thank you to Debbie Campbell, Dan, Anita and Monique for their unstinting service.

Nice hotel near Bath
Pros:

The buildings ,rooms and grounds were very nice. Not far from town. Cabs , Uber and a bus stop near the hotel entrance. They did seem to be a bit short staffed during our visit especially in the restaurant, but all staff were very polite and helpful.

Absolutely Outstanding – The Perfect Wedding Venue!
Pros:

We had our wedding at Bailbrook House in Bath, and it was nothing short of perfect from start to finish. The day itself was absolutely fantastic — the staff were incredible, so attentive and genuinely couldn’t do enough for us. Everything ran so smoothly, and we felt completely looked after throughout.

A huge shout-out to Kamila, our events coordinator, who was simply amazing. She made sure every detail was just right and kept everything calm, organised, and personal from beginning to end. And special thanks to Debrinka, the bar manager, who was an absolute star — friendly, efficient, and made sure everyone had a great time. You both went above and beyond, and we’re so grateful!

The food was outstanding, the drinks were excellent, and the venue itself is stunning. The accommodation was luxurious — beautiful rooms, super comfortable beds, and a wonderful sense of elegance and comfort. Every detail felt thoughtful and high quality.

What really stood out was how personal everything felt. We weren’t just another booking — we truly felt important and cared for, which made the whole experience even more special. All of our guests commented on what a fantastic day it was, and we honestly couldn’t fault a single thing.

I would highly recommend Bailbrook House to anyone looking for a wedding venue. It’s everything you could hope for — a beautiful setting, amazing staff, incredible food, and a genuine sense of care and warmth throughout.

Thank you to everyone at Bellbrook House — and especially Kamila and Dibrinka — for giving us the perfect day. ❤️

Lovely staff
Pros:

We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff really are lovely. Everyone we met was welcoming, polite, professional and genuinely helpful. We were holding an event here and really appreciated that the person we’d been dealing with was present on the days of our event, plus she was very helpful. Our bedroom was large and had everything we needed. Our dog was made welcome too. No problem parking.

Beautiful hotel, amazig staff
Pros:

We have spent a night in Bailbrook House Hotel to celebrate our engagement. The staff are very friendly and the hotel is beautiful. We are especially thankful for the bar staff for the free drinks after delays with the order. They didn't know but just an hour before my fiancé proposed to me, so their kindness was extra special. We'll definitely come back again. :)
