I recently stayed here for two nights with my daughter. It was a great experience. The location was perfect for us. We really enjoyed staying in a location that had such a great "Bath" feel to it. And it was easily walkable to every site. The best part about our stay was the customer service. We arrived late morning. Our... More

I grew up near Bath, and always found Great Pulteney Street to be one of the most elegant roads in the city. Staying in The Edgar Townhouse with a friend on this visit was a great way to experience a taste of 18th century accommodation at a very reasonable price. We arrived half an hour early on our first day,... More

ideal location, we arrived in Bath early and were happily given a parking permit unit we returned after a trip to the theatre. The welcome was just what you want from your hosts, happy and informative. The room was spotless and the shower was fantastically powerful! Breakfast was varied and filling.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Edgar Townhouse. It was a home away from home. Rooms were slightly smaller than expected but very clean and well maintained. Very friendly and helpful staff. The breakfast was wholesome, huge portions, hot and filling. Edgar Townhouse is within walking distance to city center, Romans Baths, Abbey and most other places of interest. Surely... More

Would like to say this was a very pleasant stay and the room was clean. Greeted by an efficient, friendly staff member. Perfect for a short stroll into town. Wonderful breakfast with many options. The room was warm with hot adjustable radiators, extra blankets in the cupboard. Beautiful big sash window.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in snowy Bath, in no small part due to the hospitality at the Edgar Townhouse. When we arrived we were given a complimentary parking permit (Normally £7). The room was warm and cosy with a spotless bathroom and comfortable bed. Could not fault the location of the Townhouse, walking distance from the city centre and in... More

My mother and I stayed here.

We stayed in this hotel for 2 nights, mainly due to its location to the city centre and reasonable price. The accomodation is clean but basic (as you might expect) however our room (number 15) was a bit noisy first thing in the morning. You could hear the floor creaking where people were walking around outside the room and we... More

Thanks for taking the time to write a review. Guests may check into their rooms as soon as they like if the room is ready. We have a preferred checkin time between 3-8.30pm so that we can give our guests the fullest attention. The guest checked in early so the registration process was unfortunately rushed on this occasion. We have... More

It is perfectly located for a visit to Bath - a very short walk to Pulteney Bridge and you're there! The staff were friendly and accommodating and the room and ensuite were clean and cosy.

Cannot fault this guest house. Perfect location just a short walk into centre of town. Best breakfast we have had from any hotel we have stayed at. £8 parking permit for entire stay makes everything much easier. Staff friendly and helpful. Bath is a beautiful city and we really enjoyed the Christmas Markets. Would definitely recommend this guest house.
