Adults-Only Hotel in Bath with Free Parking and Quirky Decor
Amenities and Services
The Forester And Flower offers free private parking at the rear of the property for guests with vehicles. A bus stop for the Number 2 service is located directly across the road, with buses to Bath city center every 12 minutes until just before midnight. The hotel provides complimentary snacks, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and bottled water in guest rooms, while the on-site pub bar operates on Friday evenings only.
Rooms and Accommodations
Each room is individually decorated with pastel colours and eclectic furnishings, including options like the Deluxe King Room or the King Room with Bath Tub featuring a roll-top bath. Rooms include a flat-screen TV, hospitality tray, and private bathroom with full-sized shampoo and conditioner. Some rooms, such as the Large Double Room with Private External Bathroom, have a separate private bathroom located a few steps down the hallway.
Location and Transport
The hotel is located in Combe Down, less than 2 miles from the centre of Bath, with Bath Spa Railway Station a 5-minute drive away. The Number 2 bus stops across the road and provides a 10-minute journey into the city centre, with an all-day ticket available for multiple trips. Guests can walk to Prior Park (a National Trust site) in under 30 minutes or to local cafes like The Hub for breakfast.
Dining and Local Food Options
The hotel does not serve breakfast on site, but the nearby Hub café (a 3-minute walk) offers a full English breakfast at a reasonable price. The on-site pub bar is open on Friday evenings, where guests can enjoy drinks in the eclectic lounge area. Across the road, a fish and chip shop allows guests to bring takeaway food back to the pub to eat using the hotel's plates and utensils.
Guest Services and Hospitality
The owner Louise provides personalized check-in with printed bus timetables and maps of Bath. Guests receive a menu from the Hub café and recommendations for local walks and attractions. The hotel offers self-check-in after hours via key access, and the bar staff on Friday evenings can give additional local tips.
