Set on one of Bath's most presigious streets, on a hill leading up to the university, it has lush green grounds and is far enough from the city to feel secluded. But it's just a short walk down to the town centre. Don't walk along the road; ask the staff about the shortcut that follows the edge of nearby pastures - with views across the city - and crosses lochs before reaching the town centre.

Staff are friendly, food is good value, and the rooms are cosy and - given that your roommates are obliging - comfortably quiet.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5425 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4292

They have an unparalleled selection of local ales and ciders and a beautiful (and partially covered) beer garden.

The sandwiches are large, inexpensive, and delicious. If memory serves me correctly, all sandwiches are veggie-friendly.
