Ayrlington Hotel

Beautiful gardens in the backyard! I just sat and viewed the city and dreamed of living here. The beds are comfy and well appointed. I recommend this place! Close to the city center. Beautiful area of town.

We very much enjoyed our stay there. It’s location was convenient, in that we just needed to walk a mere 7 – 10 minutes to the downtown area, the Abbey, the Roman Baths, and a really lovely Nepalese place to eat.
We really enjoyed returning to the hotel after dinner and having a pimms in the lounge (which was a first for my wife) while chatting with other guests doing the same. The breakfast was quite nice the next morning.
The only negative we found was that on the day we were there was a heat wave and no AC in the room. Our lovely view had to be shaded in the afternoon when the sun was beating through the window. And the bed was small, yet firm, which I’ve found in England to be the norm.
I’d definitely go back. Just next time I’ll ask if they have a King bed in any of the rooms, as I’m a big guy.

I used to work here and it was honestly one of the best jobs I’ve had. The super nice owners are always willing to have a chat to both their staff and guests. In fact, it’s the sense of personal touch that really sets this place apart. The large town house has eight rooms, so make sure you book in advance to be sure of a room in the peak seasons, and is full of the most gorgeous Eastern paintings, statues and other trinkets — one of the owners is Chinese and heavily into Buddhist philosophy and the like. There is a bar in the main lounge area that’s perfect for a relaxing drink or two either when heading out or coming back in to rest. Honestly, this place is great.

I stayed at the Aylington Hotel both times I’ve been to Bath and was quite happy with it. It is a beautiful location, very convenient to walk from to the attractions in town, and the Bath buns they serve for breakfast are to die for.

This is an insider tip to everyone who’d like to treat themselves to something special. The small hotel is 5 minutes walk from the city center, but on a quieter part of town. It has a wonderful interior in an Asian-​British type of style, each room having a different theme. A well made English-​Breakfast was served in the morning, all staff being very friendly and helpful. Do book well in advance, as week-​ends tend to be full.
