Couples looking for an upmarket bed and breakfast in a quiet spot, and who are happy to have a little stroll to reach the centre of Bath, will be very satisfied here. We loved the light-filled and attractively decorated breakfast room, whose tables are laid out with blue-and-white gingham tablecloths and matching napkins.

Due to Bath's limited parking spaces, a great perk was the use of an on-street parking permit that is included in the rates.

We loved the extras: robes and slippers, quality toiletries from a Bath-based company and chocolate bars on the tea tray. Our favourite room was Number 3, Brindleys' most luxurious room, which has a bay window, wing-back chairs, a chandelier and lovely big white-painted bed.
