Cranleigh is a very nice large B & B about ten minutes drive from Bath's city centre. The owners were very hospitable yet they left us to our privacy only giving help if we asked for it. We booked the hot tub spa in the garden and it was fabulous. We booked the 5p.m slot and at first we were worried that we wouldn't be back from the city so early but the timing was perfect. We were exhausted after a very early start visiting as many tourist attractions as was physically possible. The spa is very private and feels like you could be anywhere in the world. The owners left us fluffy towels and robes, the whole experience is very luxurious. We booked a room with a four poster bed, again this was very private and luxurious!!! The breakfasts were very tasty I particularly enjoyed the pancakes. The owners give lots of choice for breakfast and everything is fresh. We enjoyed our weekend at Cranleigh and if we ever venture to the Bath area again we will definitely stay there again.

I booked using the telephone number on the website. I spoke with Colin Potter who was very pleasant, helpful and arranged for a bouquet of flowers to be ready in the room upon arrival.

I chose room No2 as this looked spectacular from the pictures and I wasn't disappointed when we arrived and unpacked.

The mix of old fashioned furniture and modern technology was excellent and we took pleasure in watching the large widescreen TV and DVD on our first night as we were shattered from our drive down to Bath and wanted to curl in in the huge bed.

Breakfast was also of the highest class and there is more than enough food to keep you going all day.

After a hard day pounding the streets of Bath, visiting the Roman Baths, Pump Room, Riding on an open top bus in the rain, frequenting the eclectic mix of shops and cafes and walking to the town and back again, we were then ready for our 2hr hot tub session which was tranquility personified. We were then ready for a meal and accompanying Jazz music at the wonderful Green Park Brasserie - which I recommend highly!!

Both Colin and Denise are superb hosts and a credit to the B&B profession.

I would not hesitate to visit Cranleight Guest again when I return to Bath.

Even though this place is a Bed and Breakfast they have an good website to allow for online booking. The room was large, attractive, and comfortable, and the owners were kind and helpful.

A perk that I did not think we would use was their mini-bar. They offered basic snacks, sodas, and alcoholic beverages at VERY reasonable prices. I think it was cheaper than buying from area stores. They also do not charge very much for local calls, unlike many similar facilities.

The location is a bit far off, they say about 1 mile or so, but its more than that. In nice weather, the walk both to and from the B&B to the Baths and Abbey were very nice, particularly if you walk through the park on the way. Its a much better walk, and I believe less demanding than the more direct route. We had no trouble walking for dinner or other attractions. Cabs were abound if we needed them to return to the Cranleigh.

Great experience, I would certainly stay there again.

Two nights at the Cranleigh guest house were a birthday surprise from my girlfriend. There was no problem about an early check-in (1pm) and we were shown to a very spacious 1st floor room with a huge bay window overlooking the garden. Nice furnishings included two big 19th century French double beds and sofa. The bathroom was bright, modern with a powerful shower but no bath.
A bottle of excellent cava (at a very reasonable £12) chilled us out after an afternoon of rubbernecking - minibar prices are very reasonable compared with most hotels. And Cranleigh does compare well with three- and even four-star hotels for facilities if not location (it's 25 mins walk from central Bath, set in a fairly quiet Victorian/early 20th century residential neighbourhood).
Bed was extremely comfortable, and breakfast (available until 9.30am) was excellent, served in a bright front room with brisk but friendly informality. Eggs, bacon and sausages in the commendable 'full English' were all locally sourced and high quality.
The hosts/proprietors are friendly, welcoming but also unobtrusive and professional. Asked for restaurant recommendations, Denise pointed us towards a couple of French/bistro places - we chose Beaujolais, which does well presented classic cuisine in a buzzy modern setting (£66 for two inc aperitifs and service for a la carte dinner on a Saturday night - a bargain in my book).
We greatly enjoyed both Bath and Cranleigh B&B. I'd certainly stay there again, whether for pleasure or business.
