This B&B is tops. Wolfgang and Josephine are great people and they treat you like you are their family. Their breakfasts are fantastic and gourmet like with great mixture of fresh breads and home made jams. The view if fantastic and the service can not be beat. Anytime we are close, Athole House will be our first choice. The most... More

It is difficult to imagine any other B&B anywhere could top the kindness, care and generousness of Wolfgang and Josephine. We had to change our dates, they worked with us. We needed a ride from the train, and Wolfgang not only picked us up from the station, he took us to get our rental car, and on another occasion dropped... More

We had a wonderful 3 day stay here, could not have asked for anything more! It isn't right in the center of town, but we knew that before we got there and the walk is pretty easy, 15 minutes top. They pick you up and drop you off for free, which is a service I don't think you'll find very... More

My wife and I and our teenage sons stayed for two nights recently at the exceptional Athole guest house, where we received outstanding service from Wolfgang and his wife and their staff. Our rooms were spacious and spotless, and featured high quality, tasteful furniture, excellent TVs, with a nice touch being the chocolates on the pillows on our arrival. The... More

We only stayed one night, but would have stayed longer but Athole House was fully booked. Like everyone else, we were very impressed with the personal service, meeting and greeting at the station, and the quality and cleanliness of the rooms and bathroom. We had a huge front bedroom called Beckford I believe, and I can highly recommend it. The... More

Although we only stayed at the Athole Guest House one night, we know that when we return to Bath, Wolfgang will be the first person we call. There are just some places one stays where one feels completely cared for, and Wolfgang and his wife work very hard to provide that experience. Not only did they pick us up from... More

During a recent month-long trip to the UK we stayed in 14 different B&Bs scattered throughout the island. All were highly rated here on TripAdvisor, and we were pleased with almost all of them, but Athole House stood out above the others. Wolfgang, the proprietor, was very responsive during the search process and in making the arrangements. He called us... More
