Can't fault this place at all. Owner was extremely friendly and had a very cute dog room was a lot bigger than I thought it would be and it's very close to the centre of town. Didn't opt for the breakfast but there were people sat outside drinking coffee and eating wjat looked like pastries. Would highly recommend.

Julie and Martin are so welcoming, friendly and helpful, they helped make our 3 night stay in Bath just wonderful. The atmosphere they create makes you feel relaxed and cheerful and upbeat. The whole place is very clean and well-maintained, the rooms are large, the breakfasts have plenty of choice and are well-prepared, parking is absolutely fine and access to the city centre an easy 5-minute stroll. I've stayed in plenty of guest houses and this is one of the very best. My daughter and I are really looking forward to coming back - thank you both so much.

I had an amazing time at the Avon guest house! The room was clean and charming. The location is fantastic, the room is nice, and the service is great! I was shocked at how close it was to the town center. It was also walkable to and from the train station. Julie is very helpful in mapping out the area, giving suggestions, and ensuring a comfortable stay. If I'm in the area again, I would definitely stay there, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a place.

What a little gem! Julie is a very welcoming host, we had a beautiful ensuite room, and an added bonus....a parking space! Central location, 5 minute walk into Bath. On Julie's recommendation we also had breakfast in the local high street at Widcombe....lovely little walk! You'll see us again Julie!
