Leighton House - Boutique Guesthouse

I absolutely loved staying at Leighton House. It was the perfect base for our girls’ trip and instantly felt like one of those places you want to tell people about. I used to live in Bath a decade ago, and staying here reminded me why I loved it so much, while still feeling calm, beautifully designed, and a real treat. We stayed in a twin room, which was spacious, stylish, and incredibly comfortable. The beds were great, the bathroom was generous with a proper rain shower, and all the details were spot on, from the lighting and furniture to the Verden toiletries and good teas and coffees. The house itself is stunning with beautiful artwork. The breakfast room is especially lovely, great design, and thoughtful touches like gorgeous ceramic bowls. Breakfast was excellent too, particularly the scrambled eggs. I really loved the location too. I chose the longer walk into town through Widcombe and along the canal, which was such a pleasure We stopped at Landrace Bakery for a chocolate cinnamon bun, and it felt like one of those perfect Bath days. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. A really special place. We had such a good time and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again or recommend it to anyone.

It’s been surprisingly hard to return to everyday life after our stay at Leighton House — it’s such a lovely, gentle place to be. From the moment we arrived, everything felt warm, calm, and quietly joyful, as if the house itself was inviting us to slow down and breathe more deeply. We stayed in the twin room, which was beautifully styled and wonderfully comfortable. The soft lighting, spacious bathroom, with underfloor heating, with its gorgeous shower created a sense of ease and care. While the beds had a cloud-like cosiness that made it effortless to truly rest. Every detail felt thoughtful and intentional. Breakfast was a real highlight for me. It was absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared, with great options for both a cooked breakfast and a continental choice of fresh juices, yogurt, muesli seeds with berries, and mini pastries, dried and fresh fruit, and more :) Scrumptious is indeed the word! I especially loved the feeling of the house itself. It’s filled with stunning flower arrangements, and pleasing details that quietly delight you, and equally make you feel at ease. There is also a fab little bar, in the lounge area that has all you need for a wonderful time. The staff were kind, attentive, warm and genuinely welcoming, and made the stay feel personal rather than transactional. Leighton House is a place that encourages you to slow down, catch up, notice the little things, and feel grateful. I left feeling rested, restored, and very fond of it — a truly special stay that I would wholeheartedly recommend. Thank you so much!

We had a lovely one night stay at this beautiful boutique guesthouse. The little touches were fab i.e the beautiful smell and the small mince pies on arrival. The towels and quilt and pillows were sumptuous and the breakfast was fabulous. The staff were lovely friendly and polite. My only niggle was I thought our room was a touch on the small size for the money but again free parking a lovely breakfast and tea and coffee in the room so no real moan is warranted - would definitely come back to a charming guesthouse in a charming city

A lovely post festive stay at Leighton House! We thought the price for parking and breakfast inc was great. Our welcome from Daniel who showed us our room was lovely. Breakfast was delicious, cooked to perfection, with added treats of cookies, jam and juices. We did think the breakfast room was rather cold and could have done with the heating turning up. Despite this, the young ladies who served us were lovely and great servers. The lounge area was delightful and I enjoyed the design features such as the bouquets of flowers, lovely art in the hallways and also a help yourself section for teas and milk. We booked the superior double option and it had ample space and the bed and bedding was sumptuous and soft. Had a great night's sleep. The only minor was that the bathroom was not as clean as it could have been, there was grime and dust on the door panels which indicated a not so thorough clean and a little mold around the shower. A bobble had been left in the shower along with the soap & moisturiser dispensers appearing dirty. This was the only gripe in an otherwise lovely stay, I put it down to a rushed clean maybe? I would have liked if the rooms had books and dried flowers like in the photographs, the design lamp was nowhere to be seen in our room either. Nothing to bother about but if such touches are pictured I believe it should be the case. The chair covers in our room needed a deep clean or replacing and I would repaint the area where walls are scratched from hangers / chairs. Well located for Bath, a 10 minute walk into the centre (downhill) so be aware if not as able and note the uphill walk back. Local recommendations include Bikanos Indian for a top notch meal and The Moorfields pub for great live music & friendly locals. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Once again superb stay at Leighton House, room stunning, lovely and quiet. Size of the bedroom outstanding, bathroom unbelievable. |The quality of breakfast amazing, the staff so friendly and obliging. Free parking which is a godsend |Will definitely be back and highly recommend

This guest house is very clean and is in a quite good location. The walk into the city is about 10-15 mins which is all down hill, the walk back is a bit of a trek going back up hill but not to bad if your fairly fit. The breakfast is good, certainly above average.|The room is nice but a bit basic, no fridge which would be nice. The bathroom is modern however the plug in our basin didn’t hold water which was a bit disappointing. Our room was overlooked and the windows didn’t have nets so we had to keep the curtains closed while getting dressed, it’s a small thing but would be nice if you could let in a bit of natural light. |The biggest problem we had was with the noise heard from other rooms, there doesn’t seem to be much sound insulation. We could clearly hear snoring from another room. We could hear conversations, movements and when the room above had a shower, it sounded like a rain storm on a roof above. Unfortunately this really affected our sleep as the room above were early risers, they were up chatting and showering at 5am. Maybe we were unlucky but it meant we didn’t have a great stay due to our sleep being interrupted.

We had a wonderful stay in Bath at Leighton House. Highly recommend for a peaceful getaway. Our room was beautiful and spacious. Since we hadn’t been to Bath before, we didn’t realize that it was hillier than we anticipated and that the guesthouse is up a decent hill from the city. However, the walk was very doable, and on days when we didn’t feel like doing the walk, the bus stop was just up the hill and very convenient and easy to use. Overall, I will be dreaming of this places for years. Would love to come back.

Beautiful guest house, modern stylish room and en-suite. Spotlessly clean and friendly welcoming staff. Great location with an easy walk into the City Centre. Plenty of parking spaces and the breakfast was fantastic. Would highly recommend staying here if visiting Bath.
