We stayed for 1 night and we loved the location and was right by a lovely pub.The only thing I will say is the rooms are dated and our mattress was so uncomfortable that we had trouble sleeping.I agree with the other comments regarding how lovely the owners were:) But we would not choose to stay here again.Our room was...

We stayed here for 2 nights as we had a family wedding close by. The yellow four poster room was lovely and the 16th century house was wonderfully quirky. Breakfast was great and set you up for the day. Steph and Giles really work hard to keep everyone happy and you only have to ask if you need anything. We... More

Me and my partner stayed here for a few nights as a base near to bath and longeat. As our first time in a b&b we were a little sceptical but it didn't let us down. The owners are so friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Room was nice but could do with updating a little, tv is very... More

We had a fantastic 3 day stay here. Steph and Giles obviously work really hard, but always seem to have a smile on their faces and couldn't do enough for us. The room was large, quirky (it's a 16c house after all) and perfect. As has already been said, their breakfast's were brilliant and a great way to start your... More

Fantastic B&B: warm welcome from owners who couldn't do enough for guests throughout their stay. Our room was absolutley stunning. Breakfast was brilliant in the dining room brimming with character. The village is steeped in history with two historic pubs literally metres from B&B. Location is superb-travel into Bath city centre by car in 15mins or bus directly outside B&B.... More

A B&B with old world character,run by a couple full of life and character. The building dates back to the 16th century,so yes, it's old, but has a charm and a friendly feel as does the village and the people. We really appreciated the wonderful, hot shower at the end of a full day of "touristing", and the amazing coffee,... More

Steph and Giles are a lovely couple, as are all the people I came across in the village . Having just read "richardf"s review of the Plaine...I can't understand what he is bleating on about ! How he can say the B&B is the "Worst place he has ever stayed at"...is beyond me.... The towels were not "old and worn"....they... More

If you are thinking that this will provide you with a sort of boutique hotel experience just outside Bath, think again - this is a really tired B & B offering very poor accommodation at ridiculously high prices (they even have the gall to make you commit to two nights at weekends - we walked out after just one however)....

We stayed here for one night and took advantage of the Longleat discount the guest house offers, ( really is a great saving). Steph and Giles we're really welcoming and gave good advice about the local area and served up a lovely breakfast. The guest house is easy to find and the village is very quaint served by two pubs.

Thank you very much to Giles for his warm welcome and his very lively comments on what to do and what to visit for a family of 5. We loved Norton St Philip, lovely village 10 minutes far from Bath. The pub (13th century and beautifully kept !)just in front really needs to be seen and serves a good average... More
