Bailbrook House Hotel

We stayed at Bailbrook House Hotel for my wife’s birthday and had a wonderful experience! It’s a lovely, picturesque property set just outside Bath. We were lucky to book the John Wood feature room, which was amazing—spacious, incredibly stylish, and genuinely special. The food was great throughout our stay. We took advantage of room service for breakfast, which was excellent, and had a fantastic birthday dinner at the hotel restaurant. A special mention goes to Gems, who was by far the nicest person working there. We had a great conversation with her about life, hotels, and the Hand Picked Hotels collection—it's clear how much care goes into this selection of properties. Overall, a 5/5 stay. We’ll definitely be back for another staycation!

I was one of a group of 6 family members having afternoon tea on Sunday 24 May. I arrived before everyone else and before our 1.30pm time slot. The female member of staff on duty in the lounge was so kind and thoughtful. It was very hot and she brought me a cold drink and prepared the lounge with such care so that we could be as comfortable as possible. The afternoon tea was delicious. A gorgeous selection of savoury bites and lovely cakes and scones. The service was exceptional and the surroundings were beautiful

We stayed at Bailbrook House Hotel as part of our 15 year anniversary trip to Bath, and it was a brilliant experience. From the moment we arrived, the welcome at reception set the tone perfectly. Friendly, genuinely helpful, and staffed by someone with excellent local knowledge who offered tips that actually made a difference to our stay. It's a small thing, but it's exactly what makes a hotel feel like more than just a place to sleep. Our room was spacious and beautifully presented, with everything you'd need and a bed that made it very easy to stay in the following morning. Breakfast was outstanding. The team were attentive and warm without being intrusive, and nothing felt like too much trouble. My wife's veggie breakfast was prepared without any fuss, and we noticed a good selection of vegetarian hot options on the buffet too, which is worth knowing if that matters to you. Also, a highly recommended giving the energy boost smoothies a try! There's plenty of parking, and if you want to avoid driving into the centre and incurring the costs of using your car in the city, there is a bus stop close by. Overall, a genuinely lovely stay in a beautiful hotel. If you're visiting Bath for a special occasion, Bailbrook House is absolutely worth it.
