We had a fantastic stay at The Dorian! The room was great and the breakfast was fantastic. They even supplied epsom salts for my wife's bath in the lovely soaker tub in our room. The neighbourhood was very nice and it was an easy walk into the city. Finally, the electric car charging setup was easy to use and very inexpensive. Hats off to Rosalind and the rest of the hotel staff!

Very nice little b and b with parking ~15-20 mins walk from the centre of Bath. Room was a good size and well appointed. Much nicer than a bland chain hotel. Breakfast was tasty and good array of options. Reception isn’t 24 hours so as requested in documentation make sure you let them know if you’ll arrive after the time they say. Parking is tight but there’s spaces available for each room and competent drivers shouldn’t have any issues

We had a lovely stay and it fit the bill for us for the most part. The breakfast was lovely, lots of options and generous portions. It’s in a lovely area of Bath around a 15 minute walk from the centre surrounded by lots of equally beautiful properties. Our room was smaller than expected and could get quite warm even with the windows open. The bed wasn’t the most comfortable but not awful. We had a slightly unfortunate experience in that we were in Bath for a wedding and I was quite unwell so needed a quiet space to rest and be able to nap during the day. The room could get quite noisy in the morning due to things outside of the staff’s control (e.g., a tree being pruned at 8am on a Saturday morning on the neighbouring property and a dog that whined for hours at a time in the morning on a neighbouring property). Between those and not being able to close the windows as it was so warm and there was no air con, it made for a somewhat uncomfortable experience at times. That being said, if you are in Bath to sight see and will be out and about all day long then this B&B is absolutely perfect and you will have a lovely stay and get to see a little more of Bath when you’re walking to and from the centre!

Disappointed….

We booked after doing loads of comparing and previous reviews showing outstanding. I would add the people are brilliant but the room left us underwhelmed We know it was a cosy room but the bed was really uncomfortable and the room was absolutely boiling - the fan/ heater didn’t provide any respite plegnand

It is a small hotel run by a family. Nice people trying to help all the time. My room was very nice, great bed, all very clean and renovated. They kindly reserved a parking space for me. They have electric car charger that was very easy to use. The only thing- it was further away from the city centre that I would like it to be. I had to take Uber.

We had a two nights stay in Nov 2024. We were able to get a parking space and the breakfast was lovely. We had a lovely room on the top floor with an en-suite shower. The bed and pillows were too soft for my partner but I thought they were lovely!! The curtains were tired, and the lining of one was ripped and hanging down. My partner spotted some dirty marks on the bed sheets and there weren’t enough teabags or coffee sachets and milk jiggers to have a couple of drinks each. Having said this I’d be more than happy to stay again, it was a lovely to stay and was perfect for what we needed. 10 minute walk down into Bath and obviously back up the hill at the end of the day but this was fine for us.

We stayed at Dorian for one night only, but we wish it was forever! The place was beyond our expectations and felt so at home and our room was so cozy with the best view ever. Our breakfast was delicious and the staff was so friendly and helpful. We will come back to Bath in the future and will stay no where else.

Great stay but bathroom issues

We have stayed at Dorian House before so recommended it to our friends as a group booking (8 of us) to celebrate our 50th birthdays. We went for an executive room (6) Tallis. The room was beautiful with a lovely big bed and great view out of the quirky windows overlooking Bath. The welcome and the breakfast were both excellent. The issue we had was with the bathroom. It is shower only. There is a large sign up saying not to adjust the pressure of the shower due to it being an old house and the pipework not being able to cope. What I didn't expect was that there would be such little power in the shower - the water dribbled out. I had no choice but to increase it to actually shower on the 1st night. This meant that the water overflowed the shower tray & we ended up mopping the floor. The drain away is very small & the bathroom easily floods with literally no lip on the bottom of the shower to contain the water. This was mentioned at breakfast the next day. They changed the shower head but that wasn't the issue it's the design of the bathroom. This meant that I could not actually wash my hair all weekend as the water pressure was either insufficient or flooded the bathroom. This bathrooms needs a bath, with a shower overhead to avoid this happening. It's a shame as it would put me off booking this room again.

Good value for money

Good quiet location. Five minute walk downhill to the town. Good value for money with free parking available. Good range of breakfast options and very tasty. Friendly staff. Recommend the Tallis room with views over the city as very spacious.

Lovely hotel. Location was good but the walk back from the city centre was up a fairly steep hill. This meant that we got Ubers for our return.
