Bathing in Bristol

“Very good service, helpful, friendly and efficient. I ordered a battery for car and it was ready to be picked up on arrival. When I returned it because it was wrong size it was a straightforward refund. Easy to get to and plenty of parking”

“Popped in here on a Friday night on the off-chance they'd have a table and they did (it was very quiet). Was slightly worried the locals knew something I didn't but the service was fast and the food was genuinely delicious, would absolutely recommend.”

“This shop is definitely the best Polish shop in Bath. Friendly staff and the lady owner is always very helpful and happy to preorder bits and pieces they're out of stock. Consistent and pleasant experience, so not a surprise 5⭐ P.s. This one in town next to Odeon is a total disaster.”

“Absolutely amazing service, Neil and the team fixed the car same day when I was told by another dealer that they wouldn’t be able to fix for at least 3 weeks. 10/10 recommend!”

“Took my car to Bristol fleet services when my other garage cancelled my mot at the last minute. People were very friendly, mot thorough and efficient. I loved that I could watch them mot my car in the viewing area. I would definitely use this location again.”

“Good efficient service - the chap seeing to me was courteous and well mannered.”

“Booked in for Sunday roast which I can honestly say was the best roast I've had for a long time. So many pubs do roast very average but this was way above that. Everything was cooked lovely and the service was great. Well worth a visit and we'll definitely be back.”

“Came today with my family in a large group for the breakfast with santa experience! the children absolutely loved every minute including the adults. The atmosphere was christmassy, the staff was great and food was delicious! We will definitely be making this a new family tradition as it was so magical, santa and his elf helper were so warm and welcoming they really went above and beyond to cater for our family as large group (7 children & 10 adults) they were so patient and allowed us to take lots of lovely group family photos in our invidiual families and allowed us all in the room so all parents/grandparents were able to see the joy on the children's faces! thank you harvester for a fantastic family christmas experience!! ❤️❤️”

“Convenient stop for taking a break from cycling down bristol and bath railway path. Bike parking available just outside the coffee shop. Very nice match latte and granola. The place was decent and clean. Definitely will visit again.”

“We recently had a wonderful stay at The Bath Priory Hotel whilst visiting our eldest at University. The location was perfect — peaceful yet only a short walk into town. Our room was spacious and luxurious, with views of the beautiful gardens. Breakfast was delicious, though service was a little on the slow side unfortunately. A special mention to the gardener, who truly made our stay memorable. She took the time to show us around parts of the garden, shared her incredible knowledge, helped carry our bags to the car, and even picked a few flowers for my husband and I as we left. Such a thoughtful gesture — we’ll never forget. We both said how refreshing it was to meet such a kind & enthusiastic young person. The facilities at the Spa were well maintained, creating a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere. A perfect place to unwind — we look forward to coming back again.”

“I’m not actually a student at the University of Bath (not yet anyway!), but I first came here for sports competitions a while ago. That was my introduction to the city and the uni, and I always remembered it as being somewhere really special. Recently I came back to Bath, just to visit the city again, and as I was wandering around, I stumbled across the university once more. And wow. It honestly stopped me in my tracks how amazing it is. The whole place has such an inspiring energy. The campus is beautifully laid out, everything feels so open, welcoming, and full of life. I loved how green and spacious it is—you can tell it’s been designed with students in mind, but it doesn’t feel clinical or closed off at all. It’s got this perfect balance of being modern and impressive, while still feeling friendly and approachable. You can almost picture yourself studying, relaxing, training, and just living here all at once. I loved the atmosphere most of all. There’s something about Bath as a city already—it’s gorgeous, full of history, and has such a warm character. But then you add the university, and it’s like the city’s energy has its own dedicated hub for learning, sports, and community. You can tell the students here must have such a unique experience: surrounded by world-class facilities, yet only a short trip from one of the prettiest cities in the UK. For me, walking through the campus again completely cemented the thought I’d had before: this is somewhere I would love to be a part of in the future. Even though I’m not studying here yet, I could 100% imagine myself applying, getting involved in everything, and thriving in this environment. It’s one of those places that just feels right—you know immediately that it’s special. So yes, five stars without a doubt. The University of Bath left me inspired, excited, and definitely planning to put it down as a top choice when the time comes for applications.”

“This was my first time visiting Bath, and I found this restaurant while researching the town, no disappointment at all! The food was amazing, and the service was spot on. I’d recommend the courgette, it might look like a regular zucchini in the photo, but trust me, it’s incredible! Another favorite of mine was the crispy pork belly. The black beans were a little salty for me, but they pair perfectly with the pork, which was cooked to perfection. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Bath!”

“The hotel is in a perfect spot, easy to find and close to everything. It was spotless throughout, which made our stay feel comfortable and relaxed. A special mention must go to Shannon on the front desk, who made such a wonderful first impression. She greeted us with genuine warmth, professionalism, and a bright smile that instantly made us feel welcome. It’s rare to meet someone who combines friendliness with such efficiency, she really set the tone for our stay. Shannon is a real credit to the team and made all the difference to our experience.”

“Absolutely superb from startbto finish. Met by the gentleman doorman...reception staff were brilliant. Stunning room and incredible facilities. Loved the smooth radio station on in the room to arrive to. Great bar staff, excellent service, just wish we had the time to have had our evening meal there. Perfect location. Historic and so well maintained. The breakfast was second to none. Highly Highly recommend it.”

“We had a wonderful stay! We originally booked a standard room but were pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to the best suite in the hotel — and the hospitality was truly exceptional from start to finish. There were lovely little touches waiting for us when we arrived, and when we returned from dinner, we found a thoughtful box of cheeses, the curtains drawn, and the bed beautifully prepared for the night. The hotel’s location is very central, which meant it could be a little busy and noisy at times, but the mattress was so comfortable that we still had one of the best nights of sleep we’ve ever had in a hotel! We also booked massage treatments and spent time enjoying the spa facilities — both were absolutely amazing. Every member of staff was attentive, friendly, and went out of their way to make our stay special. It was such a memorable experience, and we’ll definitely return when visiting Bath again — or perhaps try one of their other properties elsewhere.”

“Authentic pizza. Freshly baked. Really appreciate the great hospitality from the staff, Mimi. Nice outdoor seating too. Spacious. Will definitely visit again. Exceptional service.”

“Popped in for a spontaneous lunch with friends after visiting the Christmas market. Great food, great atmosphere and great service. Our server was Grace S who made our impromptu lunch a great experience. Will definitely be visiting again.”

“We had a marvellous meal for two in here. The atmosphere was great and the service both friendly and efficient. The lamb cutlets were very tasty as was the well recommended tiramisu. We would definitely recommend.”

“The atmosphere was amazing here! the drinks were lovely and so cheap if your a student definitely go here! get cocktails for five pound! andrew, harry and meg were the bartenders and they were so friendly and made our experience here so much better! 5/5 would definitely recommend!!”

“Had the best experience at The Giggling Squid in Bath for my husbands birthday. The food was 1st class. So tasty and all staff were very pleasant. Great value for money and the decor was stunning. Will definitely be visiting again.”

“We had such a wonderful experience at Bandook Restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious — full of rich flavors and cooked to perfection. Every dish tasted so fresh and authentic, and it truly felt like a treat for the taste buds. What made the experience even better was the staff. They were exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and genuinely generous with their service. From the moment we walked in, I felt well taken care of. If you’re looking for amazing food paired with warm hospitality, I’d definitely recommend Bandook. It’s a place worth visiting again and again!”

“1. Flavour & Menu Variety Many reviews praise the food. Tapas / street-food style small plates get good marks (e.g. Szechwan Cauliflower, Manchurian Chicken, Pani Puri) for being flavourful and different from standard curry house fare. 2. Service & Staff Generally, people find the staff friendly, helpful, attentive. Good customer service appears frequently in reviews. 3. Atmosphere & Cocktail Deals The restaurant has a relaxed but stylish vibe. Cocktails are often mentioned as a highlight, especially the “2 for £10” offer. It’s seen as a good place to relax with friends. 4. Vegetarian/Vegan Options / Dietary Flexibility Plenty of small plates that are vegetarian or vegan. Reviewers say there are good options for different dietary requirements.”

“Very good meal, lovely service. While a chain it looks and feels much more like an independent restaurant compared to most high street restaurant chains, good sized portions. Not too busy/noisy for comfort. Much better than expected.”

“Delicious falafel and feta wrap, ingredients tasted very fresh and excellent customer service! Highly recommend Taka Taka.”

“Fab stay - rooms beautifully decorated and clean. Locations right in the middle of town and easy to find. Staff were very friendly and helpful too. Breakfast was great value and loved the little details like the pillow spray in the room. Would definitely stay again.”

“I was very happy with my haircut here, as I did not have an appointment and they were happy to book me in straight away (because there was a cancellation). My haircut looks fantastic, and the complimentary drink was nice. It was a little more expensive than I thought it would be - but I did agree to the price and do not regret paying for this service at all. My hair stylist was really lovely, and I would definitely recommend this hair salon.”

“Instructed to handle the sale of my Late Father's home.All documentation provided by RWK well in advance of actual marketing so everything in place early. Once sale materialised the sale handled very effectively and resulted in Completion happening as quickly as purchaser had hoped. 99% of the conveyancing was by email which made things simpler, living 70 miles away.Offices in ideal location with parking enabled easy delivery of signed documents. Would certainly recommend Kate Jackson and her team.”

“Very friendly and helpful staff. Last week, while replacing one of the wheels on my sons car, one of the wheel studs snapped off. I called them at midday and asked if they were able to repair it asap as I needed to return to Staffordshire that evening. Thankfully, they were able to source the parts quickly and got the job done the same afternoon. Also, while replacing the stud, they found a couple of other issues which required replacement parts and were able do those at the same time. All good 10/10”

“Stayed at Mr Darcy's House for my hen do and we all had an amazing time. The house was perfect for a hen do and we loved used the basement bunk room space for the evenings. The house was clean and nicely decorated and I would highly recommend it. Minnie was so helpful over email and there were nice special touches on our arrival which made it feel really special!”
