Good Hotel Guide Review
The hotel experts at the Good Hotel Guide
Quirkiness abounds in this chirpy, contemporary hotel close to the city centre. Birds of all feathers are displayed on walls, cushions and crockery throughout the remodelled Victorian mansion; vivid artwork and glittering chandeliers add to the eclectic style. Snug or more spacious, the modish bedrooms are supplied with a capsule coffee machine, teas and fancy toiletries to make guests happy as larks; several have views stretching across recreation grounds to Bath Abbey. An all-day menu of modern British dishes is served in the lower-ground Plate restaurant or alfresco on the terrace, amid dining pavilions, domes and fire pits. Not far, sister hotel Homewood (see main entry) has country house flair.
