Wonderful

This hotel was outstanding from the beauty of the building and it's surroundings and the great internal decor and artifacts. With the history maintained while at the same time making it modern and comfortable.
Staff were absolutely great, friendly and attentive and made sure our stay was all it could be!
There is plenty of parking but I didn't require this.
Breakfast was great with a good self service continental selection plus a decent cooked breakfast served to the table.
My only note to the hotel for improvement is to change the sausages used, but this could simply be my preference as the current ones used are good.
In addition the price for including breakfast on your booking is very reasonable unlike some hotels including the so called budget chains!
Staying in Bath...then stay at The Boathouse!
The room was very clean and spacious. Park and Ride into Bath a short walk away as well as river walks and bike trails. Lovely, freshly cooked food. Staff were really friendly and accommodating.
We have just spent wednesday night at the Boat house hotel.The room was lovely, excellent shower & very comfortable bed.
The staff where excellent , especially Nathan, who greeted us on arrival.
There was some confusion over our booking, and Nathan sorted it out quickly and proffesionally.
We had a fabulouse stay, and will defnatly return.
We highly recommend.
Lovely stay, friendly and helpful staff , room was spotless and very comfortable.
Breakfast was excellent lots of choices .
Parking was easy and so convenient to the park and ride. Will be definitely be coming back.
A trip to visit bath the hotel is situated by the river hut also close to a park and ride which is ideal for visitors

Beds we very comfortable. Good quality sheets and duvet, perfectly pressed. We had two rooms. One with a balcony overlooking the river. Well worth the extra cost for before and after dinner river watching and early morning. The second room was labelled cosy double but had plenty of room. Staff very friendly and good menus. I really like that atmosphere. It’s relaxed and classy at the same time.
The boathouse was absolutely fantastic. The property is right by the river so it's just the perfect place for great rest, a cold drink in the terrace, and nice meals. We had a room with a balcony, and the bed was fantastic, the bathroom nice and spacious and the it was so well appointed and decorated. It was a pleasure to spend time in the room.
