It's good to stay at a place where the owners are trying to provide an eco/sustainable environment. However there was little evidence of this -- we weren't shown any composting or recycling facilities on site or any info about energy sources; bedroom biscuits were organic but in little plastic packets. The decor in the smallish room was somewhat oppressive and eclectic and the spotlight bedroom lighting shone into the eyes (difficult for people with migraine). There was no info of the kind common to basic hotels e.g. how to use the telephone to get an outside line. The location was about a 20 minute not very pleasant walk from the city centre (we took a taxi back after dark). The owners were charming when they were around, but at least on the night we stayed didn't give us the impression of being really into their guesthouse business or present for their guests. Certainly a reasonable place for a short stay, perhaps improves over time to get to know the family, but not ideal for a relaxing or romantic short break.

I felt that Bloomfield House fell short of the images/information on its own website. We were the only guests on our first night and there was barely enough car parking. Our registration slip was left lying on the hall table until I retrieved it - I would prefer that my personal details were looked after more carefully (later int he week I saw another registration slip also left lying around). As part of the arrival process the owner strongly dissuaded us from coming down to breakfast before 9am and said that if we did she would not be around! The room was only adequate - no shower screen or curtain, hospitality tray partially filled (no milk, biscuits), clock didn't work. There was nowhere to hang damp towels so they had to be replaced every day - odd for an 'eco-hotel'. Halve the price, call it a B&B and Bloomfield House is fine!

We really liked this place, we found the owners to be incredibly friendly and helpful (directing us from the city centre when we got lost in the very confusing one way system of Bath was a godsend!) The house is a beautiful Georgian building with loads of original features, it is a bit rough around the ages, but that makes it all the more charming! The breakfast has to be noted, which was delicious - it's not often that you can look out of the window and see the farm that the bacon you are eating has come from. Over all a very down to earth, pleasant place to stay.

We were looking for a romantic, quiet place to stay for a special occasion. Unfortunately, Bloomfield house did not live up to those expectations.

Whilst the owners/managers were nice they fell well short of creating a boutique style environment or indeed a simple quiet retreat. (For those that only want to have stayed in an historic building then this is for you.)

We didn't mind the cats and dog in the accommodation however we did not expect the dog to be running around the kitchen whilst breakfast was being cooked.

The sunday evening that we had put aside to relax in our room was rather spoilt by a stereo being played by one of the family with pop/dance music (going from 7.30 to about 9.30pm) and children shouting down to their parents (the owners).

Another very small thing but one which adds up, is that breakfast was not laid out at the pre-agreed time, as the owner had overslept.

All in all it didn't seem very well run. With the noise and proximity to animals and the family it felt like much more of a homestay.

Besides Blomfield house, Bath is a fantastic place to visit and stay. We would recommend Bath and it's attractions to anyone.
