cheap places to stay in Bath?

[donkeyderby]

Hi there. My sister and I are planning a weekend in Bath for my mum's 80th. I have had a quick look online for cheap hotels - chains like Premierlodge - but I can't find anything apart from a HolidayInnExpress with rooms for well over £100 per night! We will probably be travelling by train and so we'll need to be central. If I can't find anything at all, we might consider driving and staying slightly further out as long as it's on a bus or train link to the centre.

It all seems to be so expensive and we are on a low budget.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Bath is not really cheap as it is a big tourist town.

There isTravelodge

Now, why didn't I spot that one before? Thanks!

Why don't you stay in Bradford on Avon and get the train into Bath? It takes about 10 -15 mins. Word of warning though the train can be PACKED if Bath Rugby are playing at home that day!!

There are some lovely central B&B's in BOA that won't break the bank (about £60 per night for a double). I work at the Tourist Information Centre, worth having a look at our Website -

Have a great weekend!

Thanks Sallster. I did consider staying there as it looks so beautiful. My mum is from the area so knows it well. I'll check out your website

If you're still looking...There's b and bs on Pulteney Gardens and nearby roads for less than £100 which is only an easy flat stroll to the center of Bath and it's also worth looking at the ones on Wells Way and Bear Flat.

Cheers! Still considering my options so the more ideas the merrier
