“The hotel's Georgian architecture and gardens initially suggest a seamless five-star experience, but the service inconsistencies temper expectations. Its location near Bath's attractions is certainly a plus, though the overall impression leans more towards potential than flawless execution. The spa facilities, while extensive, seem to struggle with maintaining a consistently tranquil atmosphere, especially during peak hours.”
