“I find the riverside location and historical charm to be major draws. With individually designed rooms and unique touches like the 'mini pudding' dining experience, it's clear the focus is on a curated stay; I also appreciate the pet-friendly policy. Its proximity to Bath's attractions and free resident parking enhance its appeal as a comfortable and convenient base.”
