About The Forester and Flower
The Forester and Flower occupies a spot on Bradford Road, an adults-only hotel built around comfortable, well-kept rooms rather than sprawling grounds. Each room comes en-suite with drinks and snacks provided, and the decor has clearly been given some thought, with a consistently tidy finish throughout.
Downstairs there's a restaurant and bar for meals without leaving the building, along with breakfast each morning and a garden for sitting outside. Free WiFi and 24 hour reception cover the practical side, and staff are known for pointing guests towards worthwhile spots around Bath. Free on-site parking is a genuine plus in a city where that's often hard to come by, and public transport links make getting into the centre straightforward for those without a car.
Beyond the hotel there's a pub, restaurants and entertainment nearby, plus a golf course for anyone wanting to fill an afternoon outdoors. It's a straightforward base for exploring Bath, with the basics done well and little fuss around it.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and great service. From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help with local information and recommendations. The hotel itself was spotless, with beautifully decorated facilities and well-maintained furnishings that made the whole place feel both stylish and comfortable. Everything felt thoughtfully arranged and very inviting. The location was another big plus — easy to find, with convenient parking available, which made arrival and getting around completely stress-free. The surrounding area had a cosy atmosphere and offered great access to nearby restaurants as well as public transport, making it ideal for exploring. Overall, I felt the stay was excellent value for money. It was a truly enjoyable experience, and I wouldn’t hesitate to return!

Louise is absolutely Amazing! From booking the room and throughout our stay she made everything possible for us to have an amazing time. Such a warm welcome and explained the bus routes, so we could travel around. The room was pristine! The cleanest place I’ve stayed in yet. We had chocolates and sweet treats/ bottles of water and lots of extra touches in our room to enjoy which went down very well 😊 Thank you Louise.. Beautiful place to stay and we will enjoy the rest of weekend here!

Louise is incredibly friendly and pays attention to every single detail! She gave us tips and recommendatios for things to do in Bath. The room was the most beautiful we’ve ever stayed in, and it was absolutely spotless. It was truly the best choice we could have made, just a 10-minute bus ride from the center, making it far enough for a perfectly peaceful night's sleep.

First of all we want to really thank the Host, she’s a beautiful friendly lady, she gave us useful information at our arrival and was just lovely. The rooms are exactly as you see in the photos, very peculiar place. The room comes with kettle and various snacks (never seen so many snacks in a hotel, so appreciated), super clean and with plenty of shower products. The location is a bit far from the centre itself but there’s the Bus 2 just on the opposite side of the street, so no problem getting to Bath centre.
