Great location.Adequate and unfussy accomodation.

The location is excellent for visiting the centre of Bath and also for attending a rugby match as we were. Parking is provided at the "sister" property the Bird a few minutes walk away for £20. Parking is obviously at a premium in the centre of Bath hence the price....
