Best Western Limpley Stoke Hotel

Stayed for 2 nights as I needed to be near to the outskirts of Bath and this was by far the best value 'proper' hotel. Plenty of parking and the room had a HUGE comfy bed. I didn't eat here but chose to eat at The Inn at Freshford as the Hop Pole (opposite) is closed for some reason. I would recommend the journey to Freshford and have reviewed that. The hotel is 'rambling' with corridors and stairways, but this makes it far more personable. The staff I met were both friendly and efficient. I would definitely come here again. less

This hotel is in need of a bit of a refurb in some areas. Very clean it has to be said - our room was nice with a modern bathroom which was spotless. Heating wasn’t great and though reported, it wasn’t fixed but we were there just two nights and it wasn’t freezing. I found the staff a little indifferent - breakfast service was a bit hit and miss in that you were seated quickly but not ‘followed up’ to sort cooked food such as eggs which weren’t on the buffet. Food was good but not the best on the whole. Be warned that Room 6 is directly over one of the rooms for the disco for any weddings and the noise is unbelievable. If you are looking for peace and quiet, best to check what’s planned event-wise before booking and make sure you have a room away from this if it’s likely to be lively. If you plan to go to Bath there is a station at Freshford a mile away which is walkable but be warned that there is a pretty steep hill to negotiate en route. Bath is ten minutes on the train which is a bonus. less

Lovely looking country house hotel, bath stone maybe, than nice sand colour and picturesque setting. Comfortable bar and setting with access to patio overlooking surrounding countryside. Colleague had booked room, largest bed I’ve seen in UK hotel, bed was three pillows wide, wider than it was long, could have been executive room. Evening buffet was mixture of hot and cod food, all very tasty, drink prices as you’d expect for a hotel, but not excessive around £4 a pint less

Our hotel room was very nice, The building is old but has character and you accept you are not expecting modern fictive and fittings. Our bed was comfortable and the room was of good size. The bathroom was functional, although a little on the small size. We had a great view from our two windows. We were on the corner of the building and could see a few houses, river and countryside. The ambiance of the hotel was good. The bar cosy with log fire (probably gas) and bar staff friendly. The bar has double doors leading into a large function room where the disco was. Restaurant along the corridor. Food was good considering large party tables to serve. The hotel is well organised and cater for weddings regularly so are well versed at coping with large numbers of people. less

We stayed here for 1 night, the building is gorgeous set in lovely surroundings and gorgeous little River just down the lane with kingfishers first time I've seen one, the reception staff were friendly on arrival and now why the 2 stars, entry to the hotel is a pain a very steep gradient from a blind turn and only big enough for one car to pass through at a time, the pictures give the impression of a reasonable size grounds which are not there at all very small outside area, we went to our room where my very heavily pregnant wife was upset as we had rang and specifically booked a room with a bath which this did not have, we were moved to new room which was smaller but did have a bath which I wasn't happy about as we had not paid for the smaller room and were not offered any remuneration and assured that was the only room they had, when we were shown the room all the windows were open, we dropped our belongings closed the windows and went to greet my wife's mother who was also staying, we ordered a meal at the bar which was good quality and arrived promptly and reasonably priced, but it was not comfortable eating this on sofas, we went back to the room to change and realised why the windows were open it absolutely reeked I've never smelt anything like it, rang reception and told there was no other rooms as there was a prom being held in the hotel so basically had an awful nights sleep as the smell was making us feel ill, breakfast was not the best but not awful either pretty much as you would expect, what was annoying the staff were only starting to clean up from the prom as were finishing breakfast so the place looked a tip. Stunning building and my mother in law's room was fantastic but I wouldn't go back less
