A lovely B&B! The owners, Bob and Liz, are lovely - very welcoming and helpful. Our room was spacious and beautifully decorated. It had an enormous bathroom with a bath and a walk in shower. The breakfast was delicious. We really enjoyed our stay and I’m sure we will return.

I felt like visiting family. Lorne House and the hosts Bob and Liz have really created that aura 'home away from home'. The cozy and warm room, the welcoming and personal service, the fresh and delicious breakfast, the small but informative chats, and much more. It was an amazing experience. I highly recommend this home (not a house) for any couple who would like to stay in Bath for 3-4 nights. Thank you, Bob and Liz!

Mini Break 25-28th September 2023

Excellent 3 night stay at Lorne House. Friendly & attentive hosts who couldn't do enough for us. Lots of information provided prior to our stay. Excellent choice of breakfast with locally sourced food. Extremely comfortable bed in beautiful bedroom with stunning bathroom. Everything in Lorne House was extremely clean with the usual tea/coffee making facilities also available after a long day's sightseeing. Lorne House is handy for local buses which take you into Bath or Chippenham and beyond. The connection with Rev.W. Awdry, the author of the "Thomas the Tank" stories was an added bonus - he lived at Lorne House & there is a Blue Plaque to commerate this. All in all a wonderful mini break.

Viihtyisä ja siisti b&b

Todella viihtyisä b&b. Erittäin ystävällinen palvelu. Viihtyisät huoneet ja meillä myös valtava kylpyhuone (perhehuone). Pihalla yksi sähköauton latauspiste, josta veloitettiin kohtuulliset £25/yö.

This is the second time I’ve stayed at Lorne House but my first time since I was a teenager. Bob was an excellent host and made sure we had everything we needed. I’d go as far as to say this is the best B&B I’ve ever stayed in with a lovely old feel and enormous comfy bed. My partner and I were pleased to come back after a long day in Bath to a luxurious bathroom which was the most well equipped I’ve seen from a B&B. The breakfast was lovely and our check in and out was easy. The parking on site is tight but so convenient. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will make another visit to the area just to stay at Lorne House again. Thank you!😃

All aspects of Lorne House were excellent. The one thing we hadn't fully appreciated, until we arrived, was the ease of access to Bath via the local bus service (stops 100 metres away). It actually made traveling into Bath a pleasure.
