Hotels With Bars in Somerset, United Kingdom

A good hotel, located a small distance from central Bath. The evening menu is a bit limited & little in the way of fruit drinks (e.g. J20) but was OK: I had soup and a toastie (£9.95 at time of writing - Feb 2026). Had a good sleep, warm room (with A/C down to 20 degrees). Shower was great! Main issue was/will be parking: there is parking, but it is supplied by a private contractor. It cost me £17.50 (calculated as £50 minus the Holiday Inn Express discount) for a £24 hour, but in March 2026, is due to go up to £50 INCLUDING THE DISCOUNT (& £80 without...!). Maybe good to check this or use a parking app to find somewhere nearby to park at a much cheaper rate.

I love Charlton house, it was really quirky. The way it has been styled is really unusual. It makes you feel like you're in a bit of a fantasy world with the little corridors and quirky little nooks and crannies. For me it fit the bill, it did the job that I needed but I understand for those people that do not get it on an offer and pay a lot of money to stay there I understand how they might say that it's a bit dirty a bit tired a bit grubby and needs a bit of TLC. There seemed to be one very sweet man that was running around doing pretty much everything and the rest of the staff were hidden behind doors or just not there. I'm not sure. There were staff present in the spa and they were lovely and helpful and kind. My little room was gorgeous and cute and cozy, and clean enough although tatty in places. For me I really had a nice day and I would definitely come back. The breakfast was extremely basic but I didn't have extremely high expectations, and I'm not really a breakfast person, so again it may not make the tick box for others but it did the job for me. Thank you Charlton house.

Absolutely delighted with our stay. The room felt very spacious and was spotlessly clean. The central location was fantastic; everything was within easy walking distance. There's a supermarket right at the doorstep, which was incredibly convenient for groceries, or you could dine at the hotel's restaurant, which is right by the entrance. We arrived at noon, dropped our bags at the hotel, and went straight out to explore. We managed to see most of Bath's highlights within half a day. Though small, Bath is truly breathtaking.

Located in the mountains, it's a bit hard to find, but the environment is very clean, the facilities are excellent, the beds are very comfortable, there's a private bathroom, and the breakfast is delicious—perfect for a vacation.

Easy to find. Easy and smooth check in process. Lovely decor. Lift to all floors. Large rooms. Tea and coffee facilities in the room. Hairdryer and iron available. Great view over looking the city. Fab breakfast. Lovely staff. Only complaint was the shower wasn't as powerful as we would of liked and the floorboards were very creaky so we could hear the people above at night and also when they ran their taps. £15 per night to park our vehicle. Fast and effective check out. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff.

Complementary refreshments and being able to cast to the tv was great, as we're the blackout blinds. Lovely breakfast in the mornings. The room was compact but well laid out and very cute.

The environment is good and the room is big enough. But knowing that there are four of us, there are only three beds, which is a bit inconvenient. The service is not good. When eating, you can hear all kinds of noises from the waiters, which is annoying. The plates fell on the floor twice. If there were no local guests next to me, I would have been too sensitive to think that they were showing off to our family. It is a pity that the service of such a good hotel is not as good as the hotel.

Special thanks to Manager Emilia and the team at Holiday Express for making our stay wonderful. The hotel was spotless, the breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice, and the price was very reasonable. It’s a great place for families – our kids loved the swimming pool – and the bar was a nice extra for relaxing in the evening. Highly recommended and we’ll definitely return!

Friendly service; clean room and bathroom. Nothing wrong with it really except that I was expecting a HOTEL based on the pictures and certainly the price! The location is great but be aware that this an INN with rooms attached at the back. Breakfast not included (costs £15 extra). Location great right in front of the cathedral but no parking. A good, comfortable stay but overpriced fro what it was and the time of year (mid-October).
