We stayed at Dorian house for two nights at the beginning of Easter. We booked late having had to change our plans for personal reasons, and were told on booking, rather apologetically, that the room available was the smallest in the hotel. We accepted this, because the trip to Bath was more important.

We had a very warm welcome from Sylvia, who showed us to our room, which was much larger than we were expecting, not a disappointment, and extremely comfortable...egyptian cotton sheets on the bed, waffle robes, tea & coffee, and chocolates on the bed at night.

Alcoholic drinks are also available if you fancy an aperetif or a nightcap

The en suite was shower only, which was a bit of a squeeze, but the hot water was plentiful.

The room overlooked a very pretty garden, and you could hear the road, but it wasn't too bad. Parking was available free of charge.

Breakfast was just superb, and the routine is obviously a well oiled machine..we barely had to ask for anything- top ups of coffee/tea and toast were offered before we even thought we might need them, and plates were cleared with efficiency- the quality of the breakfast was excellent..I don't eat a full breakfast very often, but enjoyed one on both days here. My husband thought the eggs benedict were the best he had tasted in a long time...

Breakfast was accompanied by the cello music of Tim Hugh (regrettably only on CD!) who owns the property.

The walk into town takes 10 mins as previously mentioned..or its a fiver in a taxi. Taxis in town don't tend to stop if you try and flag them down, so Sylvia gave us the number of a good taxi form which we used a couple of times (to get UP the hill!)

We were lucky to have sunny weather and so a trip to the Thermae Spa was very worthwhile..the rooftop baths are very enjoyable (if not a little chilly in March when you get out).

We ate at La Flamma and The Circus Restaurants, both excellent.

On the whole, our trip to Bath was lovely. Sylvia and Peter (the manager) could not have done more to make our stay more comfortable, and were the perfect hosts.
We would definitely go back.
