Beautiful setting and the hotel was fab. Rooms with four poster beds and everything that you need. Breakfast cooked by Giles and served by Stephanie with good banter!
Local knowledge really good and very helpful.
Would definately recommend to friends.
The George is literally 2 dozen paces from the front door, where the food and drink is excellent, perhaps too good!

Superb location, very picturesque village and Stephanie and Giles were excellent hosts. Breakfast absolutely spot on, rooms were immaculate, comfortable and quiet. Would definitely recommend and would love to return again - located nicely in between Bath and Longleat safari park, a great base for local exploring.

“Should be called amazing!!”
The Plaine
27 Apr 2008
We have just spent the most amazing weekend at the Plaine!!
Please be aware you will not want to leave!
Stephanie and Giles ae fantastic hosts and made us fell very welcome in their lovely home.
It was my boyfriends birthday so I took him away, stephanie and giles made him a little toast cake at breakfast and sang happy birthday! The little things make all the difference.
Ate in the George just over the road so not far to go after a few wines- for food I reccomend this restaurant.
I can not express how good The Plaine is- Thank you both for having us- and we will be back!!

The Plaine
18 Apr 2008
My daughter and I spent 3 nights at The Plaine, Norton St Philip, Bath and it is easily the best B&B I have ever stayed in. The owners Stephanie and Giles couldn't have been more welcoming; the en-suite room with its 4-poster bed and en-suite bathroom was beautifully decorated and comfortable, and there was a huge choice for breakfast which was freshly cooked and is served in a beamed dining room with a huge fireplace.
Both The Plaine and Norton St Phillip are very old and full of character and the house has been tastefully modernised. It sits on the village crossroads and is opposite an olde worlde pub "The George" which is very friendly and serves wonderful food at very reasonable prices.
The location is ideal for touring - we drove in to Bath for a shopping trip and had no problem following Stephanie's directions and parking at the bottom of the town. We also visited Stonehenge; Longleat; Cheddar Gorge and the Mulberry Factory Shop in Shepton Mallet - all within easy travelling distance, as was Bristol airport. Steph is an excellent host and happy to share her local knowledge to help you make the best of your stay. I would happily recommend this B&B to anyone.
Our thanks to your both and we do hope to visit you again in the future!!
