Popped in for lunch. Nice setting although too cool to sit outside. Food came out quickly and was nice. Portions bit on the small side. No extras like potatoes. Reasonably priced if a little bit on the expensive side. Young lady waitress was very attentive, polite and efficient. If more staff were like her everywhere they would get better tips.... More

Come on management team, your friendly and hardworking staff put you to shame. On arrival for a 2 day break we were impressed by the location and general atmosphere of The Boathouse, the waiting, bar and housekeeping staff are accommodating and extremely efficient. Our room, however, although very comfortable, was above the kitchen - the noise of the fans (on... More

The location was so tranquil alongside the Avon River. Our room was very comfortable and extremely clean. The staff were very helpful despite the lack of an office. My one disappointment was no tourist desk or many pamphlets which we have come to expect from hotels. However, the new owners were doing a great job and the staff helped us... More

We have seleted The Boathouse as a B&B but it should probably more be qualified as a guesthouse in a unique natural setting, an old boathouse now acting as Pub with a few guest rooms. One needs to know that it s not located in the city but the latter is easily reachable in 5-10 minutes preferably by public transport,... More

Great riverbank location, next to park & ride or less than 10 minutes by car. Stayed in a double with a balcony, which I would strongly recommend. All staff very polite and helpful, with good food & great service. Excellent value.

A lovely location by the river Avon. Room has quite modern decor. Linen was clean and the double bed was comfortable, although bathroom had mildew in grouting in shower, and a few cobwebs hanging from the ceiling. The balcony needed sweeping. Lunch was delicious, lovely sandwiches. However dinner was disappointing - belly pork with rhubarb sauce(!). So some plus features... More

Hotel is in a great location with a park and ride bus into Bath city right next door. Terrace on the river was really pretty, and the bar area quite comfortable. Room was quite small for a twin, but beds were very comfortable. First morning we were all woken at 0600 with an almighty crash of glass as the staff... More
