OYO Bailbrook Lodge, Bath

What's an fascinating and unusual quirky hotel to stay in. We loved it. The Bailbrook lodge has a wonderful faded elegance which is charming and comfortable. It is the antithesis of the chain hotels, where every room seems to be different and unique. It feels quiet and serene. The suites are large and spacious with views over the park. Do feel like you are staying in an original Edwardian mansion. Ok the carpets and plumbing are part of that faded retro feel. The best bit is the helpful staff. Vippin, the general manager, is extremely knowledgeable about Bath and the surrounding countryside , with a host of recommendations for great restaurants and things to see. In short, this polite and eloquent young man can't do enough for you. They are now serving breakfast which can be booked the night before. Be aware that this is a hotel where you let yourself into the front door and your own room. You do need the unique codes to get access. These are sent to you by email with text in the days before you arrive. This is firmly on the list of places to say next time we are in Bath.

We have visited OYO Bailbrook Lodge several times now, and the quality remains consistently high. From the moment you arrive until you check out, the staff are exceptionally attentive, polite, and genuinely caring. The room was spotless and kept that way throughout our stay. Breakfast is thoughtfully organized and delicious (just remember to pre-book your time and preferences - this system works wonderfully as it ensures your food arrives promptly). The whole building exudes charm from a bygone era, and its location on the outskirts of Bath is perfect, with plenty of free parking available (unlike a nearby hotel that charges £10 a day). We've already made plans for our next visit in a few weeks!
