Hotel Review
Grays, Bath
WHAT WE LOVE...
Grays looks like it's stepped out of the pages of an interior design magazine. Set on a residential street, the boutique bed and breakfast occupies a large semi-detached, three-storey Victorian villa, built in 1876 out of Bath's cream-coloured limestone. Much thought and good taste has gone into the style of the dozen spotless bedrooms, in the form of colour-coordinated fabrics and attractive, reproduction French-style furniture. Some rooms have far-reaching views across Bath, and all are equipped with lovely soft bed linen and smart modern bathrooms. Breakfasts, served in a prettily decorated and spacious conservatory, are a further highlight, showcasing lots of locally-sourced ingredients.

Style & Character
Ideal for couples seeking a smart base in Bath, who are happy to eat out and don't mind the steep walk from the city centre. We love the lounge, with its squishy sofas and armchairs, a wall papered to look like bookshelves, and good stock of literature on Bath.

On arrival James or Eliza give you a map of the city marked with Grays' location, and run through all you need to know to get the best out of Bath.

Rooms
The views from front-facing bedrooms, which take in distant landmarks such as the Royal Crescent, Beckford's Tower and Solsbury Hill (an Iron Age fort). Our favourite room is Number Six, Grays' most luxurious room, with a white-painted, modern four-poster bed and wingback armchairs in front of its big bay window.
Rooms 1-12
