Pros:

posizione tranquilla a 10 minuti di auto dal centro, staff molto gentile e disponibile

Cons:

il menù della cena davvero ridotto, la colazione servita al tavolo solo con piatti cucinati stile inglese senza nessun cibo freddo ne salato ne dolce a parte le solite brioscine da microonde, struttura elegante ma bisognosa di una rinfrescata, classificazione 5 stelle esagerata

Nice hotel with lovely gardens, but priced high
Pros:

It's a nice, quiet, hotel with lovely gardens. The hotel and its guests are dog-friendly, with some perfectly reasonable restrictions. The location is fine - about a 15 minute walk to central Bath, albeit starting on a fairly busy road with a narrow pavement. The rooms are nicely appointed.

Cons:

Meals were mostly very nice - we ate in the brasserie rather than the restaurant, so nothing very fancy. My daughter had remembered particularly good fluffy breakfast pancakes from our previous visit, but those were off the menu and the hotel was unable or unwilling to customise even with prior notice - which surprised me at this price point. We're not generally price conscious, but the hotel and Spa were expensive enough that you start to look at the details.

Very pleasant stay
Pros:

Outdoor pool and indoor pool

Cons:

More use to a buffet style breakfast where we could chose our own fruit mix with Musely and seeds.. Breakfast was very good but not what we would have chosen given a wider choice.
