“Homewood Hotel & Spa, a Small Luxury Hotels Of The World property, looks inviting in Freshford, near Bath, and draws guests with its promise of a serene countryside escape. While the location allows for convenient exploration of both Bath and the surrounding Avon Valley, some reports suggest that the execution of service and maintenance occasionally falls short of its luxury billing. My impression is of a destination with considerable potential, though one where attention to detail could elevate the experience further.”

Luxurious Stay, A Grateful Guest's Perspective

huge bedgarden viewoutdoor spa
I stayed in a Marvellous Room. The bed was huge. I slept wonderfully. The wardrobe offered amazing space for all my belongings. I also enjoyed a lovely view of the garden from my room. It was very relaxing. The outdoor spa area included two saunas. The views of the countryside were beautiful from there. The main desk staff member, Colin, was very kind. His professionalism and courtesy were greatly appreciated . The grounds were very nice. I found areas to chill and read. The breakfast offered a good selection. I enjoyed the proximity to local walks near the hotel. It was easy to explore the area.
I thought the music played everywhere lowered the hotel's standard.
Dining
9/10
The breakfast option was very comprehensive. Dinner proved very good as well. I found the restaurant's atmosphere a bit chaotic in decor. I appreciated the restaurant staff's attentiveness and friendly attitude.

Acceptable Stay. Some Issues

slow servicenoisy neighbors
The service was not always prompt. I asked for a racing post twice, and it never arrived, though I was still charged for it, because I was at Cheltenham for work. some noises disturbed my sleep. I heard bottles breaking and loud arguments from a nearby room late at night.

Truly Charmed by My Visit!!!

helpful staffsuper clean roomcoffee machinenoisy ac
The staff was helpful and always ready to assist. Our room was super clean, with a comfy bed and a great sofa. It had everything we needed, including a coffee machine. I saw dogs around, and it looked like they were having FUN.
I found the AC a bit noisy. It was hard to sleep without earplugs. The noise was quite irritating. Some updates would be great.
