    The Bath Prior I consider to be the best hotel in Bath. Always a very professional and courteous service and the staff are great too. The Priory restaurant is such a relaxing area with well spaced out table which always serves superb food. Highly recommended ‼️

    Whilst the service for the initial drinks in the garden was rather slow, the overall service, particularly in the restaurant, was excellent. Improvements need to be made with the online ipad wine list to ensure proper stock control to avoid disappointment. The meal was absolutely delicious, and will certainly return again.
    The Bath Priory - The RestaurantResponded today
    Dear Philippe, Thank you so much for your kind words and helpful feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your meal and had an excellent experience in the restaurant. It’s great to know you plan to return—it means a lot to us! We also appreciate you pointing out the slower service in the garden and the issues with the iPad wine list. We’re currently reviewing both to ensure improvements are made, especially around stock accuracy and availability. Looking forward to welcoming you back again soon. Warmest regards, Management team

    Lovely meal spoilt by terrible service. Throughout this meal we were held up by the absence of service. At the start, we asked for a second jug of water on a very hot day, which did not come until chased. We asked for the wine list and were handed a tablet, with information about your 179 wines, but no prices. Noone came to explain it to us until we chased this twice. The main fish course had sold out, but this was not explained until about 20 minutes after we had ordered. When the main courses came, my guest, who had asked for his beef medium/well received medium/rare. The coffee and bill were correspondingly slow to arrive. When we complained about the service, the waiter apologised half-heartedly, but gave no explanation. Altogether, this is not the standard of service expected at the Bath Priory. We noticed other guests complaining about the service.
    The Bath Priory - The RestaurantResponded today
    Dear Henry, Thank you for your detailed feedback, and I’m very sorry to hear about your recent experience with us. It’s clear that we fell short in several areas—from delayed service and lack of communication to issues with your meal. This is far from the level of service we aim to provide at The Bath Priory, and your comments have been shared with our team so we can address each of these concerns directly. We understand your frustration, especially when your requests were not followed up promptly and your guest’s meal was not prepared to order. Please accept our sincere apologies. We’re reviewing our service processes and training to ensure this doesn’t happen again. Best regards, Management Team

    Very limited choice. Very small portions eg 'Jersey Royal' potatoes that were actuallu the size of peas, all five of them. Not a great deal of taste in the main course. Poor value for money.

    True fine dining - the crab starter was presented almost like a work of art, the Turbot topped with a mouse was exquisite and the strawberry soufflé to die for. Service was friendly and efficient - the service was attentive without being and fussy. It is expensive but then you would expect that.

    Beautiful setting, lovely food. But car park was full (therefore tiresome to find and walk from public parking) and cushions needed on the bench seating (offered when requested)
