The Yard in Bath

From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this hotel takes attention to detail seriously—every element has been thoughtfully considered, from the beautifully curated design to the warm, attentive service. We walked into the lobby to find a fireplace already glowing, creating the perfect welcome, along with fresh flowers that added a lovely, natural touch. The ambience throughout the property is exceptional: elegant yet relaxed, with spaces that feel both stylish and inviting. The drinks at the bar were incredible—expertly made and beautifully presented—and the cosy rooms were a true highlight. Soft lighting, comfortable bedding, and well though design made it feel like a home away from home. Add to that an excellent location, and this hotel really does have it all. Highly recommended.

We stayed on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. The room was well decorated and styled, it felt cosy, the bed was comfortable, the bedding felt fresh and clean. The complimentary water and milk in the fridge was a lovely touch. It was nice to have a smart TV in the room for our New Year’s Day lie in. ||The room was mostly clean, some toothpaste marks on the toothbrush holder, and some dirty socks left behind the bathroom door. ||We did the breakfast hamper, I think they could do more in terms of offering different options or substituting oats for another pastry etc… we didn’t do it the second morning as it wasn’t to our taste. There are plenty of lovely cafes and restaurants in Bath for breakfast, I would do that instead! ||Areas of concern were accessibility and road noise. We were on the top floor which was nice and quiet but meant we had several flights of stairs to climb to get in and out of our room. There is no life. We didn’t have any problems with this but we weren’t asked if we needed assistance/this would be a problem for us. ||Location wise the hotel is fab, it’s not in the thick of the centre of town, but a 5 min stroll away. This does however mean that it is noisy. The hotel is on a road that was fairly busy all day and early morning. Due to the age of the building I imagine they are unable to put double glazing as the windows were very old and thin, and didn’t do much to block the noise out (didn’t let the cold in though). Earplugs were provided by the bed - I think that says it all. I wouldn’t return simply because I am quite sensitive to road noise and I believe all rooms aside from 1 are on the road side of the building.

We had a fabulous stay at The Yard. A very friendly warm welcome, a beautiful room and such attention to detail. The bed was very comfortable and there was a very peaceful vibe. The location is ideal, away from the hubbub but close enough to easily walk everywhere. The fire roaring in the reception along with beautiful Christmas decor was the perfect festive cheer. I would definitely stay again. Thank You for such a lovely stay.

Lovely boutique hotel just 5 mins walk from the Bath Abbey. Our room was clean and comfortable. Excellent shower. The breakfast hamper delivered to your door means you can have breakfast in bed. The only downside was we couldn't park until check in and had arrived at 11.30 so paid for the overnight parking nearby. When we walked by there were parking spaces. |Would recommend to others. Really nice bed and breakfast.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Yard. We had room 8 which has the patio and it was lovely. There are lots of nice touches such as the minibar, the breakfast and fluffy towels. For a small hotel the room was really well equipped and it has the most comfortable bed ever! The staff were very friendly and helpful. Communication before, during and after our stay was excellent. Perfect location for going into the centre of Bath. Having parking is a big plus too and it's reasonably priced. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend.

Lovely central hotel. The room was very nice, well equipped - the fan was much appreciated. No road noise even though we were at the front of the building. Good shower with wonderful fluffy towels. Breakfast in the room was a great touch. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful. As we came via Bristol Airport it was very handy to have the Airport Bus stop 2 minutes along the road.

Lovely stay. My room was done up in my favorite colors of taupe and black. Very clean, comfy bed, with excellent shower and fluffy towels. The room's entry vestibule made the room feel larger. The Roberts radio in the room was tuned to Classic FM which I now stream back home. The breakfast hamper that showed up at my doorstep each morning was brilliant. No need to change out of my pjs to enjoy my tea, juice, croissant and yogurt. Well-equipped, well-stocked room included a refrigerator and tableware. The hotel was just a few minutes walk from the busyness of central Bath. Excellent restaurants right nearby, including Clayton's Kitchen and The Scallop Shell.

I am extremely disappointed with my recent stay at this hotel. What should have been a relaxing trip turned into a highly stressful and costly experience entirely due to the hotel's actions. During our stay, the hotel damaged my car by breaking off my drivers side door handle. To make matters worse, before we had even checked in, we were blocked in by a construction lorry, which meant we were trapped and unable to access the boot of our car to retrieve our suitcases. At the same time, construction work was being carried out directly next to my vehicle, resulting in the entire side of my car being covered in sawdust. While the hotel did cover the £30 for two nights of parking and provided two breakfast hampers, totalling £46, this only just covers the cost of the replacement part for my car - it does not cover the labour costs to fit it, nor does it address the distress, inconvenience, and disruption caused. More importantly, we had to approach the hotel ourselves to ask what they intended to do to rectify the situation - this was not proactively handled, which is unacceptable when a guest's property has been damaged. Although the staff on duty were helpful and polite, they relayed a message from the hotel owner stating that they do not wish to contribute anything further towards the cost of the repairs, as they feel that compensating parking and breakfast is sufficient. I strongly disagree. Minimal compensation and no apology from the hotel owner, does not undo the stress, financial burden, or inconvenience we were left with. This experience clearly shows that the hotel does not go above and beyond for its guests, even when those guests have respected their property and paid over £450 for just two nights. We understand that if we had damaged their property then our card on file would have been charged. Therefore, the lack of accountability and underwhelming response to actual property damage of ours is extremely concerning and unacceptable. I left this stay feeling thoroughly disappointed and stressed. I would strongly advise others to think carefully before trusting this hotel with their vehicle, or any personal belongings as they may be damaged. Furthermore, nowhere on their hotel policy does it mention that any damage to your car is at your own risk, and after seeking further advise from solicitors, compensation may not be deemed, so if you wish to avoid this situation (as you may not be compensated for any damage done), I would not choose this hotel as full compensation should have been offered.
