The Blathwayt Arms in Bath and North East Somerset

Dropped in for a late Sunday lunch. Friendly and welcoming service. Fantastic roast beef and the rest of the family enjoyed their burgers and chicken burger. Lovely pub and great staff.

We just stopped on impulse to see if we could get lunch. Very friendly person behind the bar who looked after us. A generous slice of steak and ale pie - really well made - beef was tender with delicious gravy. Beef burger was good too. A very pleasant experience in this welcoming pub.

Glad we booked . Went for lunch to celebrate mother's day. Great food, nice sized portions. Also dog friendly which was a big influence on booking here.

Started for two nights in a superior room in the courtyard. Loved it. Very clean and comfortable. Great breakfast. Enjoyed an evening meal in the restaurant which was very tasty. Friendly staff. A very enjoyable visit and hope to return

Very disappointed for the price. A small slice of beef and ale pie I was expecting an individual one, spoonful of mixed veg, the dessert price of £7.50 was overly ambitious. Mitch match of worn tables and chairs. The ladies toilet needed a real deep clean very unhygienic. Also there was a board by our table stating that service charge was NOT ADDED added to the bill, This is begging for tips and totally unacceptable. Will not be returning.

Having stayed at this lovely inn before we were looking forward to another great stay. We booked direct for a superior king with a dog. When we arrived all rooms were booked leaving a double room only. There was no dog welcome box. On asking the receptionist advised all rooms are doubles and there are no kings. We hadn’t just booked the king but the superior king as per their website. The lady quickly put two poo bags with two tiny treats with a bowl in a box - very disappointing particularly as we saw pet boxes being put together in the morning with blankets etc. The flood light in the courtyard remained on for a lot of the night - the blinds didn’t do much to prevent this. In the morning our breakfast took over an hour to arrive. Overall it was a really disappointing experience. Nothing like what we had experienced a year ago.

Stopped off on our way back from Bristol and didn’t fancy cooking. A simple menu without too much choice which was a nice surprise. We both had a main and dessert and a drink for under £60. Good honest food and good service. Great

A very average Saturday lunch. Pub was cold - heating should have been on. Service was ok but staff didn’t seem particularly motivated. Toilets smelt terrible. Would not recommend

We stayed overnight and enjoyed a very good Dinner and Breakfast. Our room was in the separate block next to the Inn. The room was modern and the decor and fittings all in very good condition and we had a good night's sleep. The staff were all very polite and helpful. The Inn is close to the Park and Ride where there is lots of parking and the bus stops on Milsom Street in the centre of Bath. Would definitely use again.

Just back from a 3 night stay,excellent accommodation,great staff,very friendly,excellent breakfast,evening menu ok ,could do with more choices

We stopped for a quick lunch on our way to Bath. The fish finger sandwich was served with chips and tasted great. The goats cheese on a bed of roasted veg was absolutely delicious. The service could not be faulted.

Random pick for a quick lunch. Was it special? Frankly, no. Was it absolutely fine, good value, large portions, friendly service? Yes. So that's fine. Can't say it was a gourmet experience, or provide useful comments on anything complex on the menu, but the bread for the sandwiches was fresh, and the fries were crisp. That'll do for a quick lunch that was about being sociable without spending vast sums or taking too long. Decent car park too. We would return.

Beautiful building. Great service. Poor value for money. Had large fish and chips. Swapped chips for mash. Didn't eat the batter on the fish. Even though it was a large portion it was basically too small thin strips of fish. £17.00 was a lot to give for what I had. Unlikely to go back.

This place is nice, clean and comfy. Beautiful garden and setting. Staff really nice. Breakfast was great and menu was ok. The only problem we had was being woken up with doors slamming each morning at 5.30 ish. Not sure why people can’t use handles to shut doors. Take ear plugs with you!

Stayed here for 7 nights. Rooms are modern, clean and comfortable. Very secure in a courtyard with resident only access. All staff were excellent and nothing was too much trouble. Food was delicious. The inn is well situated and only a few minutes walk from Lansdown Road Park and Ride for easy access to Bath.

Had Sunday lunch with family. One word Amazing. The food was superb, the service was outstanding. Would highly recommend a visit.

We were passing & thought we would pop in for Sunday lunch. We hadn’t booked but there was a table for two available. We both had roast beef which was delicious. The staff were friendly and efficient. Cheesecake for dessert which was very nice we will definitely back again

Fantastic location Sadly rooms 9 and 10 you have to walk past the men’s toilets and smell public toilet/ piss smell to get to your room… Then as these rooms are above the toilets you can hear the public using the hand dryers throughout the night when in the room! Rooms 1-8 looked like to be outside the pub is a seperate area and looked much more desirable location Food was great, drinks was great, staff weere great! Just the location of the room really put a damper on the place!

Pleasant place to stay for one night afer attending Bath Racecourse. Bar staff were a little aloof and could be friendlier but service was good. Food menu is a little lacking invention but the burger was OK. Breakfast in the morning had a very friendly server and the full English was substantial and satisfying. Overall, a good place to stay outside the city.

A great place for so many reasons. Location - half mile walk to Bath races - along a path beside the racecourse. Staff - all brilliant, friendly, helpful Room - clean, comfortable, quiet Food - fantastic, lunch and breakfast were superb We had a two...

Just had a Sunday lunch for 4 adults and a baby at the pub. Was really excellent! Kids food was good and quickly served ahead of other meals as we requested. Followed by 3 roasts that looked great and the rest of my group said...

My wife and I had a lovely day out together on my birthday. On our return, we stopped at the Charlcombe Inn (formerly the Blathwaite) for a meal. We were greeted by the bar lady and waitress, who both had a lovely demeanour. I ordered...

Been here twice an amazing rooms clean, comfortable beds and the staff can't do enough for the guests, breakfast are plenty and really delicious restaurant is spotless . Will definitely be back again

Beware of rising prices... We've used this pub for many years as it's a pleasant interior and a nice place to sit and have a drink and chat with friends. However, on our last visit, we were very surprised by the cost of our drinks....

Have spent 8 nights at this lovely Inn. Nik,Jo,Sophie and the rest of the staff are very friendly and helpful. Food is all cooked freshly and breakfasts are especially lovely. Rooms are spacious and beds comfortable and tea and coffee making facilities supplied. Location is...

Friends and I have been visiting the Charlcombe for lunches for over 18 months and always had good things to say. Until yesterday! We ordered sandwiches which usually come in thick slices of fresh bread. White or granary. Yesterday we were served with pre sliced...

What a fantastic place to stay. We had an overnight stay on our way to visit family in Devon with our dog and so stayed in one of the dog friendly rooms. The rooms are in a courtyard separate from the pub with a secure...

Loved this place, great location. Breakfast was lovely. The room we had was a standard one and was very clean and well presented. Staff were exceptionally pleasant and we liked the dogs in the bar.

Stayed in the stable block, nice rooms good facilities. Breakfast was not so good. Limited portion sizes and very tight on the orange juice, fruits and cereal. Overall OK but expensive for what it is.

We booked a table for Sunday lunch, when we arrived the pub was very busy but we were shown to our table and given the menus. A lovely young lady turned up to our table to take our orders. We ordered drinks and they arrived...

Stayed in one of the courtroom rooms, nice decor, large comfortable room, spent four nights and unlike most hotel rooms it didn’t feel like living in a shoebox. Far enough from the road to not hear road noise, right by Bath racecourse. Ate in the...

Stopped in on a Sunday for food after a dog walk on the racecourse. Not greeted on arrival, despite a number of staff looking at us and it wasn’t too busy. Not served at the table so had to order at the bar. Decided not...

Stayed as a couple with friends. Great room, had a lovely meal in the evening and a fantastic breakfast. Taxi ride into Bath only £12, although there is also a park and ride 10 min walk away. Great location, really enjoyed our stay and rebooked...

Came here for lunch yesterday in a big group. Was excited to have the chicken burger as was someone else. Sadly, we were disappointed. Chicken was so dry and could hardly swallow it, and just tasteless. Needs more seasoning and a better sauce. Many of...

We had a two night stay here with our yorkie. Staff were very welcoming and friendly and booked us in earlier than usual. Wow ! Our room was so fresh , clean and pleasant , and the decor was perfectly done, and bright ,calming and...

Everything was great. Staff were very nice food was excellent. Room was excellent and only a 10 minute walk to park ans ride to Bath.

We’re visiting the area for my partners birthday and stopped here. The pub was nice with friendly staff which is always a bonus. The nachos starter was excellent, but the chicken burgers were slightly overdone for my liking so if we were to visit the...

Had a family birthday celebration on a Saturday night, service was very slow, wasnt really very busy, menu was very small, uninteresting unless you like burgers.. this place has been up and down over the years, and currently it's not very good, it has massive...

Firstly, I would say that the accommodation was first class, lovely clean room and decor was new and up to date ( also dog friendly) and away from pub itself in a small contained courtyard, so noise was kept to a minimum but as good...

We went for lunch with friends. Everything was pleasant until the two ladies tried their vegetarian buuternut squash curry. Clearly the Chef had not tasted it as, even for us who enjoy hot and spicy, this dish was too hot to be edible. A replacement...

We were expecting something more than they had before as they now have some very swanky "motel style" accommodation. So knowing we were going to be nearby, booked a table. Someone taken their finger off the pulse here since your last visit. Poor menu unless...

Accommodation in a separate secure courtyard. The room was quiet, spacious, well equipped with a clean modern decor which was obviously the work of a designer and everywhere was spotlessly clean with immaculate white linen. Couldn't fault it. We only sampled the breakfast which, apart...

yesterday we had a lovely lunch of wine and sandwiches in the quiet garden . Smoked salmon was delicious and plentiful, and my husbands cheese and pickle/chutney was excellent. Both arriving with tasty, fine, chips. Great value for money.

We chose this Hotel as dog friendly and very close to where our son lives. Excellent accommodation with private courtyard which is very secure for your dog . Quiet comfortable and clean. We only had breakfast at Hotel as meals had finished when we arrived...

We stayed two nights for the purpose of attending Bath Races. The Inn is at the end of the race course and only a ten minute walk to the race course. Also there is a Park & Ride nearby for easy access to Bath City....

We had business in Bath the following day, so we booked B&B + dinner for the convenience to Lansdown P&R. Friendly welcome from all the staff. Our starter of Wye Valley asparagus, poached egg and hollandaise sauce was faultless. Mains tended to focus on burgers...

We stopped for 4 nights in this wonderful Inn, The staff made us feel welcome as soon, as we arrived, The room was very clean and very peaceful Even though there was a busy road outside we didn't hear a thing! Breakfast was lovely, Dawn...

This establishment clearly has no idea how to treat customers. They decided a pre booked regular room confirmed by email should be upgraded to a premium room without any consultation with us whatsoever. On arrival and questioning on the unexplained and unconfirmed upgrade they then...

Shame that food standards have slipped. Used to be amazing food when our group went in December everyone was impressed. We went again at end of April 2022 but food standard are not as good. Had the Roman Burger, Chicken was dry and bacon overcooked....

Stayed for one night with partner and dog very last minute. Megan was a total star. Booked us in, gave us a box of dog treats and reserved us a table out the way so we could tuck the dog away while we ate. The...

Food was shockingly awful tasted cheap and nasty wouldn't go there again £12 for a coffee and sausage sandwich staff was drenched in sweat 😳

From the minute we arrived we were made to feel welcome. We stayed 2 nights and were thoroughly looked after by the bar and breakfast staff. Our room was comfortable and spotless and the pub itself had a lovely atmosphere obviously popular with the locals....

Lovely place, used to be The Blaythwayt Arms, but is now after a good refurbishment and probably new management a markedly improved Inn. !.Light airey, great attentive staff, food was lovely. My partner and I were to go to Bath Races just along the road...

My girlfriend & I booked this place having read the raving reviews & seeing the gorgeous photos of the rooms. From our greeting, we were amazed by the look of the pub, a place which had been refurbished only 18 months ago we were told....

We have just returned from staying for 3 nights at the Charlcombe Inn in one of their superior King rooms. The room was nicely furnished, everything was spotlessly clean and was always lovely and warm. It was the perfect location to see all of Bath...

I chose to stay here because of the ample parking, free breakfast and it looked a nice room. I wasn’t disappointed. The room was really comfy and clean and was beautifully done out. Very well heated and everything I needed. The breakfast was good and...

I’ve visited here a lot recently and am never disappointed. We had lunch here on Friday 28th. Had a friendly and helpful waiter. This time I had the steak and ale pie with mashed potatoes and broccoli. This was amazing! The pie had a good...

I visited here with my family and dog in November 2021. We stayed here as it was my parents 60th wedding anniversary celebration. Unfortunately, we could not have the meal here as we could not have more than 10 people at that time and there...

Returned here today for lunch. This pub does not disappoint. The menu has changed since my last visit but still good choices. Place is clean, tables not close together, staff friendly and helpful. Lots of windows that make it bright. Lovely views onto Bath racecourse....

Stayed one night here before an early remembrance service in Bath. Staff couldn’t have been kinder and provided treats, rug and a water bowl for our dog. The room was spacious with wooden floors making it very suitable for our large dog. He could also...

We stayed overnight at the Chalcome which overlooked bath racecourse. It was also just a minutes drive from a park & ride so it was very easy to get into the centre of bath without having to negotiate quite heavy traffic or find a parking...

Very pleasantly surprised at discovering our accommodation here. In a relatively new and some converted stable blocks. Tastefully done an in the modern style. We had number 8. Ensleigh. It is in it's own locked yard and separate from the pub. Well fitted but only...

was not expecting such a lovely stay at a b and b pub .. literally brand new gorgeous rooms .. comfy bed ..yummy brekkie and super local to bath ... at a steal as well may i add!

I was with my husband at this location. We found a very clean and comfortable room and a modern design. From the outside to inside, all place provide calm and relaxation. I will recommend for everyone.

Came to the pub but didn’t reliable they were not taking walk ins, so asked if we could just stay for. A drink whilst waiting for grandparents and to keep the kid’s busy whilst we found the next pub to eat in. The Bartender was...

Rooms are beautiful, stylish and finished to an excellent standard. Staff are attentive and friendly. Breakfast was exceptionally good

We stayed 2 nights here at the end of June and it was a really pleasant stay. We stayed in the Kelston room which was really nice. It was cosy and extremely clean. The shower was lovely and powerful however not very hot. We spoke...

Stayed here whilst visiting the races. In easy walking distance if racecourse. Lovely and clean and very well run. Rooms were good, but did find it noisy above pub, would definitely go back but would request room in the courtyard complex

Stayed here in June as a stop over on our way to Devon, with our pooch. Very welcoming and rooms finished to a very high standard, stayed in the superior rooms. Staff went above and beyond the call of duty. Perfect for a day at...

Very friendly & welcoming hosts, nothing is too much trouble.. We stayed in one of the converted stables & the rooms are beautifully done out, comfortable, modern decor & more importantly absolutely SPOTLESS!!! Bed very comfortable had really good night's asleep. Power shower is awesome...

Visited the Charlcombe Inn today at 2pm for lunch. Food was amazing no doubt. We did ask about slow service and were told they had staff shortage which we accepted. The only thing I would change is personal preference, sachets for condiments let’s them down....

Nothing was too much trouble for this place. Even a call an hour before arrival requesting prosecco and cupcakes in the in laws room for their anniversary. And it was done without any fuss at all . A spotless and spacious room . Perfect location...

Stayed for one night en route to Newquay. Situated just outside Bath and next to the racecourse. We took a taxi into Bath but the park and ride is nearby. The pub and staff and food were all excellent. The block of rooms were absolutely...

Met some friends there, signed in at the front door due to COVID I forgot to ask where the toilets were so I asked a male member of staff and all I got was a load of attitude. Absolutely disgusted with the way I was...

Atmosphere was really nice and the server was great and attentive, however despite claims of having a variety of vegetarian/vegan options, there was only one veggie option and one vegan option.. so a bit disappointing really! Ordered the vegan burger which the menu said came...

We were driving back from Cheddar after a short break and accidentally stumbled across this delightful restaurant/pup on a Sunday evening. It was located right next to the Bath racecourse in a tranquil area. We had one of the best Sunday roasts, beautifully presented, cooked...

My wife and I had booked a table for 1.30 lunch prior to my second jab at the racecourse just up the road. We were a little early, but no problem - shown straight to our table. Not too busy but a good atmosphere. Drink...

I agree with Charlotte M review...really dispointing lunchtime visit. We sat outside and although the garden has potential and a wonderful location, there was litter and used serviettes all over the place. We only had sandwiches, and I would have expected 'real' bread at least,...

First visit to the restaurant for 6 months. We were not disappointed. They were extremely busy but service was great and attentive. Food was excellent, there were 4 of us and we all had different meals including the vegetarian option. Everyone enjoyed their Sundays roasts...

Met up with friends for lunch. Everything over priced for a sub standard limited menu: food quality was very poor and the staff were unwelcoming and obnoxious. Won’t be returning or recommending!

What a great place this is. We stayed for 2 nights meeting up with family and also visiting the races. The accommodation is great. An old stable block had been renovated and new rooms added too to a very good standard. Modern bathrooms. Everything you...

We had made a reservation the waitress said she would bring a menu. We waited and had to go and ask for the menu. At the same time as placing the food order we asked for drinks. Again we waited, we could see our drinks...

We called this restaurant around 5.30 on a bank holiday to book two tables for our families and kids. Requested outside told not busy so there would be plenty of availability. Telling them we wanted to dine at 7pm .we drove the 3 miles told...
