Homewood Hotel & Spa Abbey Lane, Freshford, Bath BA2 7TB

"We were at a wedding. The staff were great, very accommodating, friendly and attentive. We didn't stay in the rooms but the rest of the guests were happy with their stay. Location is a bit awkward if you are staying in Bath (£30 taxi) but if you're able to stay there it's a great location in terms of views and the surrounding area."

"Excellent all round. This was our second visit and another fantastic experience. I highly recommend the hot tub suites; they're generously sized and very well appointed. The bar has a lovely relaxed atmosphere and a good amount of choice. Service was excellent all round and felt personal and attentive without being overbearing. The only, very minor, items would be: a lack of available plug sockets by the bed; it would be great if there was more privacy as it felt like people using the spa could see right in to the living room area; and the food menu (whilst absolutely delicious) hadn't changed noticeably since our last visit a year ago - possibly it just changes seasonally."

"I took my friend here for a birthday lunch treat. The building is lovely and beautifully decorated. I'd indicated I was gluten free when booking and when we arrived that was confirmed. However, the service was slow and when eventually our food arrived it materialised that gluten free just meant no Yorkshire pudding and no pig in blanket. The vegetables were all sweet (red cabbage- very vinegary, parsnips, carrots - which were charred - and Brussels sprouts with parmesan - yuk!), my friend had no roast potatoes. I ordered turkey, there was no stuffing (I waited 10 minutes to find this out by which time my food was cold) just (more sweet) cranberry sauce. I was told a gluten free pig in blanket would take 12 minutes... The food was poorly cooked (my friend agreed) and lacking in flavour other than salt. I nearly died when presented with a bill of £79, for a below par main course and 2 glasses of wine. (£13 for a small glass of white wine!!)(they didn't dare put the prices on the wine menu). The bill included an automatic 12.5% service charge. The service wasn't unpleasant, just really slow. I did complain and wasn't charged for my meal and the service charge was waived. To say I wouldn't recommend this for Sunday lunch is an understatement. It looks nice, but the food and service let it down. If you want a decent Sunday lunch and a decent bottle of wine at 1/4 of the price- best cook it yourself! A really disappointing birthday treat."

"2020 happened and with it our dream holiday had to be postponed, we wanted a staycation to celebrate joint 40th birthdays and we stumbled onto this little gem. Due to the occasion we went all out booking the luxury hot tub suite for 3 nights along with a champagne afternoon tea and evening meals. On avail the staff were so gracious and helpful arranging for us to have light snacks and refreshments as we were several hours early. Everything from the food to the venue was outstanding the chefs went above and beyond proving lots of little extras including a special request on the afternoon tea. The setting is something else imagine a dark night life up garden over looking the pool and it turns into the most romantic location for a proposal (not quite Thailand) but I don’t think either of us could have imagined it anywhere else but Homewood. The location the service and the staff were something else, every one went above and beyond and we can’t wait to go back."

"We absolutely LOVED our experience at Homewood. The location is incredible and the fact that they grow the fruits and vegetables right there on the grounds for the restaurant is awe-inspiring. EVERYONE WAS LOVELY. The staff made us feel so welcome and that Homewood was our home away from home. Evan made it extra special with a barbecue in the pods. This is a definite must visit... we will be back!"
