A warm welcome to The Lansdown Grove Hotel...
The hotel has that classic “Bath look” - old traditional Bath stone, tall and elegant with beautiful high ceilings and elegant plaster work. The hotel is in a magnificent location, just 15 minutes walk from the historic city centre. In 1860, the Times described it as “one of the most delightful houses in Bath”. It is thought to be one of the oldest buildings in the city and is grade 2 listed, but we do have all the amenities you would expect from a modern hotel.
Our lovely conservatory restaurant, overlooking the gardens is a perfect setting for lunch and dinner. Whilst we would love you to eat with us every night, the restaurants in the city are excellent and any member of staff will be happy to help you with recommendations. The Hotel has 3 floors with 56 bedrooms.
The city, is a 15 minute walk, downhill or a 5 minute taxi ride, if you prefer!

Designed by John Wood the Younger in 1769, the Assembly Rooms were at the heart of fashionable Georgian society, and were the perfect venue for entertainment and socialising. Bombed in 1942, they were subsequently restored and now visitors can fully appreciate the magnificent rooms. The Assembly Rooms are now let to Bath & North East Somerset Council, which has its Fashion Museum on the lower ground floor.

- Prior Park Landscape Garden
One of only four Palladian bridges in the world can be crossed at Prior Park, which was created in the 18th century by local entrepreneur Ralph Allen, with advice from 'Capability' Brown and the poet Alexander Pope. The garden is set in a sweeping valley where visitors can enjoy magnificent views of Bath. Recent restoration of the 'Wilderness' has reinstated the Serpentine Lake, Cascade and Cabinet. A five-minute walk leads to the Bath Skyline, a six-mile circular route encompassing beautiful woodlands and meadows, an Iron Age hill fort, Roman settlements, 18th-century follies and spectacular views.

A fine example of a medieval manor, complete with an upper moat, gatehouse and small parish church. Beautiful oriel windows and rooftop soldiers (c.1480) adorn the house, restored between 1905 and 1911 by Major R. Fuller – whose family still live here and manage the property on behalf of the Trust. The delightful gardens were designed by Alfred Parsons and feature terraces, gazebo and lily pond. Grass paths offer visitors romantic views across the spring-fed fishpond. The house and gardens have featured in many TV and film productions, including Persuasion and The Other Boleyn Girl.

- Broadleas Gardens
The garden, favourably situated on greensand, was bought in 1946 by Lady Anne. Some 14 years later work began in earnest, creating from a wilderness a valley garden that would not look out of place in Cornwall. Mature and semi mature magnolias grow on each side of a steep dell. Large specimens of paulownia, parrotia styrax, camellia and rhododendron also flourish here.

- Corsham Court Gardens
On acquiring Corsham House, as it was then known, in 1745, Paul Methuen set about not only re-modelling his mansion but also its setting. This affected the deer park, subsequently extended to the 350 acres comprising Corsham Park today and the grounds nearer the house maintained as formal gardens.

- Dyrham Park
Set in a beautiful Gloucestershire valley and surrounded by 110 hectares (274 acres) of garden and rolling parkland, this grand baroque house with spectacular sweeping views towards Bristol, was designed by Talman for William Blathwayt, Secretary at War during the reign of William III. Lavish 17th-century collections reflect the fashion for all things Dutch, including paintings and furniture. Later 18th century additions include furniture by Gillow and Linnell, and the Victorian domestic quarters provide visitors with an intriguing insight into life below stairs.

Excellent 4 Night Break
Mum and I have had a lovely 4 night stay at the hotel. All of the staff were exceptional in their helpfulness and above all their pleasing manner, from the moment we entered the reception. The choice of menu for breakfast and the evening meal made dining a pleasure. Although our bedroom was a little faded it was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. We will highly recommend the hotel for its location, services and good value for money.

Enjoyable weekend break
My friend & I had a most comfortable stay at the hotel; our room was very spacious & clean, (although a little TLC. would help) & being on the 3rd floor had a good view. The rest of the hotel was well appointed, & the very helpful staff were a credit. We enjoyed the choice of meals each night - especially the roast beef! Comfortable lounges were a good spot for a game of scrabble in the evenings. We will definitely return again.

Birthday Weekend Treat
The hotel is very elegant and staff very pleasant. Only a short walk to the town and baths. The rooms are well sized but looking tired and need a facelift. Overall very happy with our stay.

Birthday Tea
Today 15 of my female friends joined me for a celebratory afternoon tea. The room was nicely set out as I had requested and the food was superb. We enjoyed spectacular strawberry tarts and the chocolate gateau was to die for. We were served by two discreetly attentive waiters. The success of the occasion no doubt benefited from the helpful suggestions of the 2 assistant managers with whom I planned the event. A group of us now plan to return to sample the evening menu.

Elegance
We have had one of the most comfortable and elegant holidays I can remember. Our room was spacious and extremely pleasant. great shower! The hotel is on a B road out of the city but after 11.00 pm all is quiet. We slept well. The food was wonderful. Loved the homemade soups. A crème Brule to die for. Wonderful front of house staff and really excellent well trained waiting staff. Thank you to the courteous barman .We are already planning to come again. Thank you.

Golden Wedding Treat
We would like to say how much we enjoyed our weekend stay at the Lansdown Grove Hotel in Bath. It was a small celebration for our Golden Wedding. We asked for a room at the front of the hotel and were given a lovely room at the front on the third floor with wonderful views of Bath. All the staff were very pleasant and helpful. We were always greeted with a smile. The food, as always at Shearings, was very good with an adequate choice of dishes. Thank you Shearings for a very enjoyable weekend.

My Birthday Weekend
I chose to stay at the Lansdown Grove for my birthday in May having stayed before between Christmas & New Year. I love the location even if it is on the hill as I love the Georgian building and its large rooms and it's not too far out of the busy centre. The conservatory dining room is light and the food and service excellent. The rooms I had on both occasions were clean and of a good standard. This time I even had a patio with patio table and chairs to enjoy the sun. Highly recommended.

Lansdown Grove Hotel Review
I stayed at the Lansdown Grove in May with a large group of friends, we had a superb weekend, the hotel was clean and comfortable, the meals delicious and the service excellent. Yes, there are long rambling corridors and lots of stairs here and there, but it is after all a grand old Victorian building! There are good direction signs everywhere and a good lift. I recommend this hotel and we will definitely visit again.
