We reserved a superior triple room for 2 nights. There were only 2 of us, so when we arrived and were shown to a double room we didn't mind, so didn't mention it. The room and whole house was very clean, and the owners were very welcoming and friendly. We were visiting Badminton Horse Trials and had forgotten our printed tickets before leaving, so these were printed for us, which was great.
The dining chairs felt unstable. We asked for tea with breakfast on the first day, but got coffee, the poached eggs were overdone, so the second day we opted for scrambled egg, which was delicious - as was the rest of the breakfast.
Unfortunately, our room was not checked/cleaned whilst we were out on the first day, so we came back and our bin was still full, no clean mugs/glasses or teabags/loo roll so we had to go and rummage in the kitchen to find some old mugs, teabags and clean glasses, which wasn't ideal. I did mention it and the owner did apologise.
The window in the bathroom doesn't quite close so that room felt quite cold, and as it is a fully tiled wet room (very nicely finished) it is quite cold anyway. Underfloor heating would have really finished off the lovely bathroom and added a more luxurious feel.
The people here are lovely, the house is beautiful and the location is great. Just a bit disappointed this time.

A beautiful guest house with excellent hosts who provided a first class breakfast and experience.

We had a wonderful 5 night stay at Lorne House. Our room was luxurious, and the bedding was unbelievably comfortable. The thoughtful touches included an assortment of teas and coffees (including decaf), regular and oat milk, plus biscuits right in our room, made it feel extra special.
The full breakfast is absolutely incredible, and able to skip lunch, only needed dinner each day. The house itself is beautiful and very comfortable, with a lovely living room/common area and an inviting outdoor patio. The décor is stunning, and it’s clear the hosts haven’t skimped on a single detail.
Mum Liz Dad Bob and Olivia as well as (Eliza/Harry who had their first child Mathilda, this week) was warm, friendly, and incredibly helpful, offering great suggestions on where to visit nearby and how to get there. Note: When we arrived, we discovered we had accidentally booked our 5 night stay for the following year, 2027. Harry couldn’t have been more helpful and immediately found a way to accommodate us.
We would highly recommend Lorne House and look forward to returning!

Great location for Bath, and countryside visiting. Box is an interesting place in itself, and easy transport out. Nice couple of pubs and cafe, shop close by too so everything you need. Lovely accommodation, very welcoming hosts , lovely airy / sunny aspect.

Our room had all the essentials: clean, quiet, and extremely comfortable beds. The breakfast was amazing! Location is about a 15 min drive from Bath in a quaint, beautiful location. Loved our stay!!
Ellie
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!😃
Niel
Lovely place to stay
Amazing place, comfortable, convenient, friendly host, and superb breakfast! Box is lovely, and Bath only a few miles away. Highly recommended.
Biya
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!
Tony
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.

An amazing experience
Can’t rate our stay at Lorne House highly enough. The property is beautiful and so well equipped. The views to the rear of the premises are stunning. Bob and Liz were brilliant hosts; attentive, knowledgeable and kind - they really couldn’t have done anymore to make us feel welcomed. The room (which was an upgrade from what we had booked) was lovely. Clean, comfortable (the bed was super) and nicely decorated. Breakfast was delicious and a good variety of options meant we were very satisfied during our 4 day stay. All in all the experience was wonderful and very good value for money for what you get. Highly recommended if you want a central location to get to Bath and the surrounding area.

The rooms were beyond expectations, spacious, well appointed, updated and clean. The hosts were welcoming and attentive without being overbearing. The location is perfectly located for a day trip into Bath.

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.

Eddie
It was a lovely B&B in a very good location. We stayed two nights, the breakfast was excellent, the host gave me a great tip on getting into Bath by advocating the use of the X31 bus, which runs from just opposite the B&B to Bath city centre [took about 15 mins] - Car parking was available at the property or in an adjacent doctors surgery car park. All in all a very enjoyable two day city break.

Bob was a wonderful host and the breakfast staff (family?) were also very accommodating. The property is great and very comfortable with attractive surrounds.
Box is a lovely little village, but beware of where you eat. I’d recommend avoiding the Queen’s Head Hotel, but don’t let that stop you staying at Bob’s place. It’s a memorable stay and the bus in and out of Bath is easy.

Comfortable stay, excellent breakfast.
Booked a quadruple room, for a weekend visit to Bath, which was very comfortable for the three of us. Owners even contacted us in advance to ask if we required a double and single or all single beds.(Not quite sure where a fourth bed would have fitted had there been four of us!) Lovely spacious wet room. Excellent breakfast, with lots of choices.

Comfy and clean room. Plenty of interesting places close by. Though on a busy road we had a room at the front and heard nothing from the road as double glazed. Breakfast was very good. Bob was very friendly and helpful. The wet room was just that wet. Nice shower but we where aware of the water heading towards the bedroom carpet. The bed was comfortable as was the sitting room downstairs on the whole very relaxing and would recommend. We also ate at the Indian a short walk away and the food was very good so would recommend eating there.

Loving Box
We, a trio of friends, stayed here for two nights to explore Bath and the surrounding area. We have no complaints. We were given excellent recommendations for dinner and how to get around. The room was clean, updated, and quiet. Breakfast was amazing and catered to various preferences. We’d stay here again for sure.

Great b and b with friendly owners
Had a lovely stay, they even phoned a few days before to say we could check in early which was really handy as we were spending the day/evening in Bath.

Fantastic stay. Highly recommend. Thanks

Beautiful B&B
Beautiful guest house just outside bath, the owners were very friendly with lots of helpful tips. Amazing bathroom, with shower and bath (big enough for 2!)
Little tip, if you drive into bath, there’s cheap all day parking at the bowls club pultney road. (£5)

Lovely B and B, could not recommend more.
My partner and I booked this hotel and couldn’t rate it more highly. The rooms were lovely and clean, homely and felt newly decorated. Coffee tea and hot chocolate was available in the room and the range of both continental and cooked breakfast was great and very tasty. The hosts themselves could not have helped out more and there was a great range of leaflets books dvds etc to borrow from them! Would definitely come again!

Excellent B&B
Excellent staff in a small friendly B&B. Not usually a fan of this type of accommodation but this had all I wanted - big comfy bed followed by a superb freshly cooked breakfast. The room is very well appointed with a large bathroom complete with rain shower and bath along with some quality toiletries. Would definitely recommend

Excellent hotel/b&b in Box - near Bath
excellent hotel/b&b, met and everything sorted out with no problems. The shower room was excellent and the beds were comfy. The breakfast in the morning was first rate. Owners very friendly. In beautiful countryside just outside Bath. Also excellent meal in pub nearby as suggested in information received.
Tim
Very nice
Place is great along with their food. Town is very quaint. Why I could not give them a 5 rating, wifi was very spotty and unreliable. Definitely would stay there again.

Lovely bed and breakfast
Lovely B&B just outside of Bath with several local pubs and eateries close by. Only downside was traffic noise at night from our room. Plenty of parking and lovely freshly cooked breakfast.
Alan
Stylish B&B with a little history
Lovely house decorated with style and respect for its history - the author of Thomas the Tank Engine lived here. Breakfast was cooked to order and tasty. Make sure you observe the check in times - this wasn't obvious on Expedia - but the owner was very friendly when we found him in the annexe at the back! Plenty of evening meal options in the area, although many requiring a car and booking in advance.
