Extremely helpful accountant. Thank you

When setting up my business and looking for someone to deal with my personal tax dealing with Robert was the best thing I could have done. He took a real interest in my business, my hopes and aims. He gave advice in plain English and in a friendly manner that allowed me to take quick and effective actions, saving me money and time. No more long and nerve racking communications with the Tax man, Robert dealt with everything! He has saved me many sleepless nights and did a great job on my personal tax position. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Robert and will continue to take his advice on my UK tax affairs having recently moved to Australia for a couple of years, from where I still correspond with Robert.

My friends are starting to suspect I'm on commission; I find myself complimenting Robert Pearce's services on an almost weekly basis. I've been a small business owner for many years now, and it's only really since taking my accounts to Robert that I've discovered the full extent of what a great accountant can do for me - as a result, my business is incredibly tax-efficient, and I no longer fear brown windowed envelopes, as he's way ahead of any issue that comes up. It's a great price, too; if he charged me three times what he does, I'd still come out up as a result of putting my tax affairs in his hands!

Great advice that has saved me time and money. Well worth having a chat.

Excellent advice and a great service. Pearson May have helped - and guided me, with both my business and my personal finances

Not the most ideal location, but it's a bank. Can't really say much more than that

disappointed with the service

Lovley friendly staff, very helpful

Staff are very good, sadly Google's information on the branches opening times, are not. This branches closing times are 5pm during the week and 4pm on Saturday, Sunday closed

The staff are great, Lloyds are the best of all the banks I've ever used (yes I've moved about) it's just a shame they closed the other one and used this location

Master Trades did a major rebuild in my house, and I'm a fussy customer! Before the work started we met several times and, working with my plans, they suggested new ideas and options. They went to a lot of trouble to source materials that I'd selected but weren't easily obtainable. Their service was friendly, patient and highly professional and the work was faultless. I have no hesitation in recommending this firm.

I could not recommend this company more highly! They excavated our garden and built a sunken patio. The job they carried out was immaculate; fast; efficient; no mess left and the people polite and trustworthy. We were so delighted with the end result and will continue to use Master Trades for any future building work needed.

T.P.Richards came highly recommended to us and this is the second time we have used them. We had a new kitchen fitted last year and we have just had a conservatory/extension completed by them. I cannot speak highly enough of them. From the girls in the office to the workers on site, everyone is so friendly and nothing appears to be to much trouble - in fact they can't do enough for you. I was going to name names, but I think over the course of the six weeks that this project took we must have had every employee from the firm and every single one of them deserves a mention. they all take a pride in their work and are more than happy to change things (if and when we change our mind). They were also very tidy in their work and cleaned up as they went. I even caught one of them (Sean) sweeping soil off our lawn. I would not hesitate recommending T.P.Richards and if we ever need any building work done in the future there's only one firm I would use,

I recently had T P Richards create a utility room and toilet in an outhouse along with addition of electrics in a conservatory, all works were carried out with the minimum of disruption. The original estimate proved to be accurate and I was kept informed throughout the works which trades would be arriving and what work they would be carrying out. I am very happy with the results.

I use WRB Construction now as my only builder. I am a small developer in and around Bath. Worth their wieght in gold, always reliable, clean, trustworthy and always attention to a high detail of finish. Appears their first review relates to another company?

Was greeted and looked after by a very, very nice lady! Promptly served, professionally shown hired van and fully taken through my reservation. Was looked after just as well when I dropped off - even though the office was full of customers!! Will be back for sure. Thanks - much appreciated.

Booked last minute for my family visiting Bath got a call a minute later from Alex the manager saying that would be no problem and offered a pick up and ride back. I said I didn't know the details yet and was it okay to give him a call back later, he gave me his email and said any info to send it his way. Really good service and a great friendly atmosphere.

Very happy with my experience, I have hired from them in the past and find the service to be excellent, especially the lovely friendly staff members.

Excellent Service - I needed a car hire very short notice due to a family emergency. Pretty much every car hire company i tried were unable to help as i was arriving into Aberdeen Station at 19:00 when most companies closed around 18:00. The lady at Indigo went out of her way and arranged a car hire at Aberdeen Airport and also advised what time the trains left Aberdeen City to get to Dyce Airport. All in all a very helpful and friendly personal service. This supplier can arrange car hire anywhere in the UK and World so i will def be booking all my car hire with them in the future. First class service!!!

Did a great job on some work around our pub. Very nice person to deal with, doesn't intimidate with the jargon some builders throw at you constantly. Would definitely recommend him and would definitely ask back to do more work when we need it done.

A good honest and reliable contractor I have worked with him a number of times and would definitely be using Finnys in the future.

Situation: Called for a pipe fix due to a leak in kitchen sink. Gave a call and was offered an appointment for next working day. Time of engineer's arrival was specified and arrived promptly. Review comments: Overall very good. Engineer resolved issue very quickly and efficiently. Customer service for appointment scheduling very good as well and commendable for offering an appointment within the next day. No complaints to make. I recommend to anyone in the Bath area.

Quick and efficient and reliable service. An absolute must have when managing a property remotely. Thanks

Antony and his team performed miracle work on several old walls we had in the store. They were a pleasure to have in the building and extremely competitive on price.

Been here a few times, and have only had good experiences. Friendly staff who communicate well, and don't tr to rip you off.

I've been using Henrietta Mews Garage for 30 years. In that time the service has been consistently friendly, the work invariably good, and the price always reasonable. It's also incredibly close to the centre of town. Thoroughly recommended.

We have used Henrietta Mews Garage three times in succession for MOT and servicing on each occasion we have been completely satisfied with the staff always helpful and professional and billing always reasonable. Brilliant location back into Bath City in a few minutes, more importantly we trust them implicitly would throughly recommend.

Bath Auto Services helped me out after another garage let me down. Honest advice given and quick turn around on work done. Will be using them again.

Thank you for the fast and reliable service. MOTing and fixing my car today. Failed it's MOT at 10.30am and fixed and passed by 3pm.. Back on the road at an affordable price.

A huge thank you to everyone at Bath Volkswagen for showing me such exemplary customer service, and for my new car, which is making my lengthy commute so much more bearable! The friendly, helpful approach of Jon Linkins and the team was so refreshing, and I would not hesitate to recommend this dealership to friends and family. (In fact, my dad ordered a new car from Jon shortly after I collected mine - it has arrived no less than two months ahead of schedule, and he is delighted.) Jon was helpful, knowledgeable, and made an effort to understand exactly what I was looking for – no mean feat when I arrived feeling grumpy and cross after a less than positive experience elsewhere! Admittedly, the tea and biscuits helped, but so too did his sound, practical advice, and the time he took to explain all my options to me (without blinding me with patter or car-speak). Unlike other dealerships I have bought from in the past, Bath Volkswagen’s level of service did not deteriorate as soon as contracts had been signed. I was kept up-to-date on the progress of my new car via email, and was even sent a video of it on the day that it arrived. Finding it all wrapped up in the handover bay when I came to collect it (with a bottle of something sparkly in the boot!) was a lovely surprise, and I appreciated the helpful demonstration and follow up call a few days later to make sure everything was okay. Thank you, Bath Volkswagen, for such an outstanding service.

I loved bath it was a beautiful town would have spend more time..no parking it's better to stay at a bed and breakfast so you have parking

Excellent dealership very customer focused

Honda here. Genuine, helpful staff...

South and west motors repeatedly impresses me with with their great service, a reason why I have bought 2cars from here. South and west motors range of cars makes the whole car buying process very enjoyable, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable which makes the car buying process simple and quick. We would definitely recommend and we are absolutely enjoying our new car, vw golf, thank you south and West motors

I recently bought a BMW 3 Series from South & west motors When I collected the car all jobs we had discussed were done and the vehicle was well prepared, it looked new! However after about 10 weeks the car developed an engine management fault. South & west motors arranged for the car to be collected the day after I phoned them. They came to my work and collected the car at 10.00 as arranged. The car was delivered back to me fixed at just after 4 the same day, that's good service, they had even cleaned the car for me! Great guys - highly recommended! I give them 6 stars if I could

I went on the EuroCarParts website to see if they had the right oil for my car and an oil filter as my car needed an oil change. As soon as I made the reservation for the two items I got a confirmation phone call in just 2 minutes to say that my order is ready to collect. The place was easy to find with signs leading you through the industrial estate. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly as well.

Quick delivery or you collect next day. Can pretty much gey any parts.

Good size store with a reasonable range of products. The staff member I spoke to was professional and helpful. Store frontage was under scaffolding at the time (March 2017); not easy to see, but still easy to get to.

Popped in to by some Velcro straps for my bike frame. They didn't have any in stock but went over and above to try to resolve my issue, giving me some Velcro straps that they had lying around. Refreshing to receive customer service like I did, thank you.

what a team mended my mercedes s class 2008 cd changer would recommend them to any one wanting a radio/cd player repaired and definetly not dear 10 out of 10

As an Independent Mercedes-Benz dealer, we were looking for an audio specialist to assist with some more tricky audio repairs with some older cars and were recommended to use Maple Audio. On the two occasions we have used them so far, they have been excellent. All repairs carried out to our satisfaction and a fair price charged. Without hesitation, we would recommend them.

It's rare to find a business owner who is 'really' interested in helping you out these days. Stuart helped us to sort a dent in our Nissan, then sorted out a few 'blemishes' on the paintwork. He was friendly and personable and a pleasure to deal with. Thoroughly recommend him.

Run by a down to earth honest bloke. Even offered moral advice I didnt ask for - had damaged the gfs car while she was away

Well, my experience of this company was mixed. I asked for a quote for a front and rear bumper respray to which they quoted and I agreed. They arrived 2 hours late only to advise it would cost double the original quote as they had only quoted on one bumper. Previous work carried out by them however had been to a high standard so can't fault the quality of workmanship.

very fast reply and accurate quote, very professional service and the finish after the repair was impeccable. would highly recommend.

One of the best places to have your car repaired great friendly panel Beaters

Nice staff good services ..liked the delivery collection thing

Book well in advance. Don't pay up front online. Don't expect to get the car you hoped for.

Needed a new front door lock so contacted BL&K. Was treated courteously and respectfully, and the job was done quickly and with the minimum of fuss,and at a more than fair price. Can't recommend these guys enough. Many thanks...

I am the facilities manager for the Theatre Royal. Have been using Bath Lock and Key for years. The service and workmanship is absolutely first class. Highly recommend.

Quick and thorough.

The best valeter in the county first class it was like I picked up a new car it was that clean

There isn`t a better place for your car. They really take care of everything, I am always satisfied. The best thing is that they work pretty quick!

Very professional job made my car look amazing have been using this place for a couple of years now and would recommend to anyone also their prices are very reasonable

In my opinion, the best car wash in all of Bath. They are actually professional, polite and do a good job. They do sometimes miss a spot but always act when asked. I've looked at my wheels previously and couldn't notice a single spot! Definitely recommend this one above any other I've found.

Prompt arrival, no-nonsense, excellent service and competitive prices. Couldn't be happier - will certainly recommend to anyone in need.

Swept Away Bath, offer a very professional service, clean, prompt and using up to date technical tools with a warm friendly helpful staff. It is very easy to give this company five stars as they gave a five star service. very reasonable prices, easy to book, they answered all my questions and the advice given was practical and appropriate. I felt well informed and that my chimney was in safe hands! I can fully recommend using Swept Away Chimney Sweeps.

Great service, my stove looked good as new. Will definitely book again for next year

Easy communication to organise a one off clean before we went on holiday. Two cleaners arrived ready to clean the house. They worked really hard, quickly and did an excellent job. I couldn't fault their work or their cheerful willingness to help. Fantastic service all round and one I will definitely use again. Thank you so much!

We've been using BDC to clean our home on a regular basis for the best part of 5 years. We've always found the staff to be reliable, polite and pleasant and they make sure we are entirely satisfied with their work. They work hard in the time they have and always seem to think about the little extras that may need doing. Price is reasonable too, thank you BDC.

We were very happy with the service provided by Cole's Removals. Communication in advance was clear and helpful. They were accommodating of our changing completion dates - being reassuring and flexible. The collection, transportation and delivery was complicated but they responded to the challenges professionally, completing the job efficiently. At one stage we encountered access problems which they went out of their way to solve. We couldn't have been more impressed. We will definitely use their services again whenever the need arises and recommend them wholeheartedly.

Could not ask for a better service. Matt and his team are punctual, professional, and clearly know their trade - How they got all of my stuff into the van is beyond me! Always happy to recommend. Thanks

Top store for getting a refurbished PC or Laptop. I needed a new laptop with a good spec and I tasked Mark with finding me one. Within a couple of weeks he had the perfect laptop for me. It was in great condition, fully tested and all for the fraction of the price it sells for as a new model. Recommend this place highly if you need help with second hand or repairs.

I spilled some water on my laptop and it wouldn't turn back on. In the end it wasn't too serious but Mark was very helpful and gave my computer a thorough check for a very reasonable price. Much quicker, easier and cheaper than dealing with the bigger companies.

The 'go to' company in Bath for sick & ailing computers. They seem able to bring them back from the dead!

I needed a new screen which was completed efficiently but unfortunately it does have a dead pixel. I can live with this but more annoyingly for some reason changes had been made on my PC, i had to reinstall all my steam games and most of all i had soundblaster audio installed which is now gone, reducing my audio quality significantly and i cannot get it back. Irritating because i only wanted a screen change...

Very helpful staff who provide excellent and incredibly quick service! I was so satisfied with their work and so I therefore highly recommend them - they not only replaced my hard drive but they were also able to recover my data. I couldn't have had a better result! Thank you!

Don't bother taking your Apple product back to Apple, go to these guys. Perfect service. *****

We have been using Bath Business Web for around 10 Years for our website and The directory, We alway have favorable comments on our website and we appear where we need to on google , we are now having our new website designed by them , and are looking forward to the finished product. Thank Duncan and Jackie

Bath Business Web have delivered a fantastic website design for me. They took on board all my requirements and their SEO knowledge has ensured it is already on the front page. You can be sure of a friendly and professional service with excellent back up too.

I've been working with Deep Blue Sky for over 10 years now and am continuing to do so because they deliver on many levels, well over and above any other agency I have ever worked with (and I've worked with a few!). For me, the greatest value comes from their ability to problem solve. Challenge them and you'll get a response that far exceeds your expectations. Technically and creatively they a fantastic and attack each project as if it was their own business, ensuring you get the best possible outcome each time. Finally, from a cost perspective these guys are spot on, no excessive costs as so many of us have been hit with in the past, they like long term relationships and they certainly know how to attract and retain them.

Deep Blue Sky were a pleasure to work with; always suggesting ideas of improvement, many of which were taken on board and successfully implemented.Overall the relationship I had with the DBS team was excellent, from the account manager to the developers. Communication was always clear, jargon-free and requests were dealt with asap and deadlines were always met. I can highly recommend them as a supplier of quality, value and integrity. A very sound knowledge of football history too- which is always welcome.

Absolutely amazing prints! Quickly done in a tight deadline! & pricing not too shabby either! FIVE stars all the way!!

Excellent value for money, some may be put off by some of the prices, however the comitment and dedication I was given by staff to ensure I was happy with my prints is totally comendable. Quick turnaround for printing and brilliant quality everytime. I will certainly be a long standing customer of this fantastic Bath Independent.

Great service. Informative and helpful. Booked ahead online and paid less than £3.00 for monster suit cases for all day. And they close late at 0.00 PM. Great couple running the place.

Nice and convenient service. Very close to the Bath Spa rail station. Booked online about two weeks in advance, 6 bags only cost ￡14.20. Cheaper than others. Recommend!

Absolutely first class experience. Answered the phone immediately and fitted me in the same day. I have my washing machine back!

phoned back immediately and was very open and helpful.

Once again excellent service received from these guys. It is great to be able to use local, independent and professional services and I would thoroughly recommend Bath electrical services. Over 15 years they have never failed to deliver on their promises, there is always someone to talk to with knowledgeable advice and a willingness to help, a rare find these days.

Fantastic service. Came to look at faulty washing machine. Couldn't fix it went away and came back with a new one within half an hour. Fitted it and took old one away. Reasonably priced as well. Thanks

I have been a customer since 1998, this company gives value for money. I have brought, electric cooker,washing machine, fridge freezer, all reconditioned, and have gone on to give me just as many years service than if I'd bought a new one. This seller gives value for money, all day long.

First rate local business. Arrived when they said they would and unblocked my drain in no time. They also cleaned up after them. Very pleased I called them. I would recommend to anyone :-)

I had a kitchen sink which drained very slowly and when my washing machine pumped out the used water it couldn't go down the (same) drain pipe. Second floor flat and the blockage was a long way down. They managed to break up and suck out all the muck. They're very efficient and friendly. Excellent job!

I called Mega Rod to help with a very blocked drain and someone arrived quickly to sort it out. He quickly identified that it was a shared sewer and was actually Wessex Water's responsibility so he contacted his office and all the billing was arranged directly with Wessex Water so we didn't need to pay or do anything else. We also used them for a CCTV drain survey before doing building work. We also used them years ago for a blocked drain at a previous house we lived in. Staff have arrived promptly, been very helpful, friendly and professional and the prices have been very reasonable for all the work they have done for us. It's great to have a local, friendly company to contact for this type of work. I would highly recommend Mega Rod.

I called Mega-Rod who cleared our drain on 15 Dec 2016. They were punctual, polite and professional. I was given a price which they kept to. I can not praise this team highly enough and definitely recommend them to anyone needing a drain clearance.

I was absolutely not ready for a test when I started with Steve, but in less than three months everything changed. Steve is a competent, reliable, and incredibly patient instructor. We were able to work through my mistakes without him EVER losing his temper. He made me feel confident and calm when I was learning and my driving improved a lot as a consequence. Today I passed my driving test, first time, and that's completely thanks to him. I would recommend Accelerate Bath Driving School to anyone who is learning to drive, whatever level you are at the moment, as with Steve you'll improve your driving without even realising it. It's a competitive price and 100% worthy of every penny. I could see the change in my driving in short periods of time, and I thank Steve so much for having been patient and competent throughout this whole process. 5 stars is really not enough!!!

Really professional instructor, passed in an automatic car, which was really helpful for me. had just over 10 hours of lessons and passed first time with only 3 minors, very calm and patient, really easy Guy to get along with, Stephen was very good instructor and had answers to all my questions. Shame he doesn't do an advance course as I would defo use him again!

I started driving where I used to live when I was 17 and failed three tests! While learning with Giselle 9 years on I have been able to build my confidence, she has been wonderfully patient and a fantastic teacher. With her I managed to pass my test first time (this time around!). I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone wanting to learn to drive, especially those who are nervous and need someone to help them build confidence!!

To my shame I have been a serial driving test failer. Having Googled local instructors in the Bath area, I discovered Pedals Ltd and the excellent Giselle. In my varied learner history, I've experienced several instructors, nobody has ever been able to teach me as clearly and practically as Giselle. I've valued her totally no-nonsense approach to driving tuition, she keeps you on your toes and explains very clearly all the things you need to know in order to become a good driver and pass your test. As it happened, thanks to her excellent tuition, I passed my driving test today. If you live in the Bath area and are looking for a driving instructor who'll really teach you how to drive, look no further than Pedals Ltd.

I, aswell as my brother and sister were taught by John at Acorn Driving School. He is a excellent teaching who knows his trade very well. I would recommend him to anyone!

Fantastic staff and great service, highly recommended!

Great service, polite and helpful staff. Took my car there having broken something in the gearbox and it was fixed within the day for a very reasonable price. This and Cheltenham Road Garage are a cut above the rest in Bath.

Very helpful garage, knowledgable, friendly and accommodating, would recommend.

I have used Newbridge on a number of occasions and the staff have been extremely helpful and more than fair in their charges. Great!

I have been using this garage for years. I just had my annual MOT and as usual I am delighted with the service I received. This is the best garage in Bath and probably the best garage I have ever used. I would recommend this company to everyone.

great bunch of guys i recommend midland car co to anyone im pleased with the work awesome FROM SCOUSE

Reliable, friendly and a very good service provided by ES Electrical would highly recommend them.

Excellent work done by Miles who is a very pleasant young man, friendly and knowledgeable. Miles always arrived on time and provided various solutions for the job on hand. Excellent electrician and we will definitely use him in the future. I strongly recommend this company.

Friendly professional electricians. Have used them several times and can always rely on them to get the job done right and at the right price.

Always reliable, helpful and friendly.

Professional staff and a great desire in understanding what you would want out of your next prospect job

Superbly run firm that have always been a pleasure to deal with

Appoint have given me excellent service. I registered for temporary work early in the summer with several agencies in Bath but Appoint have been the only agency to offer me temporary work and on several occasions with more lined up. They have contacted me directly by phone and have understood when I haven't been available and grateful when I have. The staff are always polite and professional and I can highly recommend them to anyone seeking employment.

The team at Appoint are undoubtedly the most professional and thorough placement agency I’ve met in the Southwest. They take a sincere vested interest in both job seekers and clients to ensure the best possible placements. It’s easy to highly recommend Appoint. Suzanne S

Recruitment Agency. No real complaints.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to you and your incredible team! You provided the most exciting and entertaining creche at our wedding which is exactly what we wanted. The party bags that the children had at the wedding breakfast were packed full of so many things that there was no chance of them getting bored. We were really impressed with how everything looked too- really suited our festival theme! The DVDs and popcorn with the nannies went down very well and every time we popped in, more children were asleep. Our guests who are parents were so grateful that they got a day and night off! Great job and thanks again :) Becca and Paul x

Danielle and her team did an amazing job for us on our wedding day! The children had an absolutely wonderful time, and their parents were so pleased to be able to relax – knowing all the time that one of the team would let them know if the children needed them. It was great for everyone to see the children enjoying themselves. Pitch Up and Play were so good at getting the kids to play and chat with each other, across language differences on this particular occasion, which can’t have been easy at times. Several of the children exchanged postal addresses at the end of the evening, and this speaks volumes for the friendly atmosphere which Danielle and her team generated. The older kids were proud to show the various artefacts they had made in the course of the evening, while the younger ones were blissfully asleep. A stress-free party for everyone – bliss for the newly married couple and their guests, big and small. We would highly recommend them, without the slightest hesitation!

I just wanted to say and BIG thank you to you and your team for all your help and support on the purchase of my new, beautiful little cottage. I am very happy there! You were fantastic at keeping me in the loop and helping where needed! Thank you also for the bubbles, they went down a treat!

I've worked with a few estate agents and have to say the professionalism and polite manner they have shown me and my family have made the process a pleasure (almost)... Iona in particular made the process easy and I felt with her as our agent everything went as smooth as it could have and if we ever do (not for a while) I will use these guys and hopefully have Iona as the agent. Thanks guys really was 5 *

Fidelis were professional and courteous and were spot on with the valuation of my property with extensive research material to support their figure. I was kept informed of progress throughout the period from production of a fantastic brochure, admired by all, the discussions with the prospective buyers in price and the relationship with eventual buyer and myself to ensure a perfect completion of the selling process. Mark Flint was easily accessible throughout the period and gave valuable advice on the price and move process that was to follow. A nice friendly but professional person with great team support. I would have no hesitation in recommending Fidelis for selling your property and getting the best price.

I work for a Bristol based letting agent and since working with Fidelis in November 2015 to find tenants for their portfolio of Bristol properties I have found them to be very easy and enjoyable to work with. Annalise in particular is very personable. All of the properties we have been instructed to market for them have rented quickly to professional tenants which I believe says a lot about their quality as an agent. I would highly recommend to Bath landlords having worked in the city myself in the past. Thank you Fidelis!

We sold our flat on Marlborough buildings in Bath using Michael and the team at Pritchards, they were fantastic from start to finish and I'd highly recommend their services. Thank you!

Craig Chapman has dealt with our financial affairs in a most efficient and friendly way for some time now. Last night I emailed him with an important query regarding an investment which Money Wise do not handle. I had a full and very helpful response from him first thing this morning. First class service! Thank you.

A really helpful group of people who know their job well but most importantly, really value their customers and go out of their way to tailor their service to individual requirements. My wife and I have been on their books for over twelve years, now live a long way from Bath but still receive the same care and attention as when we first asked their help. I'm very happy to recommend Malcolm and his team to anyone needing personal financial help at any level.

Martin and his PA Debbie are a fantastic team and really helped us set up our mortgage and life assurance. As first time buyers we had no idea what we were doing and Martin made it as simple as it could be. What made the service great was he saw us at times that suited our working schedule and at times when usual banks would have closed or stopped taking appointments. Would recommend Martin to everyone (and have).

Superb service and excellent knowledge. Would recommend Martin Watson to anybody looking for mortgage or investment advice.

I worked in Financial Services for 28 years and thought I knew how to spot a good Financial Adviser, but prior to meeting Jonothan made the mistake of accepting a personal recommendation to a well known national firm, and repented at my leisure (as they say). So with Jonothan I got to know him well first, did my due diligence and the track record of delighted clients and national recognition (e.g. Financial Adviser of the Year, Retirement & later Life Advice Specialist of the year to name but two) backed all this research up. Even so, having got my fingers burnt, I was still very cautious and asked lots of questions. Jonothan was extremely patient, knowledgeable and structured in his whole approach. His communications were prefect through the whole transfer process (which was complicated by Lloyds Pension Administrators being changed 'mid-transfer') and Jonothan dealt with the problems as they arose and together even got the new administrators to resolve a complaint when mistakes were made during the transfer process. I am confident that we now have a solid investment strategy and he is now advising my wife too on her pension investments. So I'd not only add my endorsement I would thoroughly recommend Jonothan to anyone looking for pension or pension transfer advice, especially those 55+ Lloyds / TSB Ex-employees that are trying to work out the pros / cons of leaving their pension where it is

Clarksons always give a first class service. They are caring and compassionate but always professional . Carole and her outstanding team are brilliant. Nothing is to much trouble and your loved one is truly in safe hands. Can't thank them and recommend them enough.

Dolman and son were wonderful; professional, patient and kind at a very difficult time. And now we've had the bill, also very reasonable. My mum could not have wished for a better send off.

H as done work for us in the past, very clean and tidy and hardworker..

Jay and his team did a great job on my garden and completely cleaned up afterwards, which in my experience is very rare. He put up a new garden gate at the side of the house, painted my pergola, laid the lawn and painted the fence.........Would definitely use him again.

Great gardener. Made short work of our hedges and removed a giant pine tree. Top bloke too.

Amazing designer. Karen is a master when it comes to re-designing a garden. I would thoroughly recommend The Garden Goddess if you are looking to change an existing layout or looking for a complete re-design.

High quality design and execution

Highly recommend did such a lovely Lovely job! Thought I'd take the time to write this as I'm so happy with my new garden. This company are so knowledgeable, genuine & they also seem to really care about the work that they do. They Took extra time to work with me to achieve the best result for what I could afford. So happy as I now have the garden of my dreams!! Thankyou-

My dogs are happy and secure in the garden thanks to the detail applied to my new garden fence. Really understood my requirements for my small dogs and the fence fixtures going into the ground to prevent them escaping underneath. Highly recommended.

Would highly recommend it! I used to come here as a child and since moving back to bath recently, I was desperately needing a trim! Really listen to what you want, unlike a lot of hairdressers! Very good value for money and a good location outside of the centre. Ask for Charlie:)

Used for many years and am always happy to return regularly

Absolutely chuffed to bits with my gent's haircut. Tess was able to execute exactly what I had in mind. I will 100% be returning thanks to the outstanding work carried out by her.

The fact I drive from Bournemouth to Bath to get my hair done says it all. Both me and my mum had ours done yesterday. The colours by Gemma and Hannah and cuts by Miles were outstanding. I cannot thank you enough for the care and attention you all put in. Topped off by a complementary umbrella to protect our hair from the miserable weather. Thank you Phylosophie.

I went to Dappa's for my first time today, it was recommended so I thought I'd try it out. I went in and was greeted kindly by the lady that works there, I made a booking and left, not long after I met Corey (my barber) and he done an excellent job! He was great to talk too, he's a great character! I'll definitely be back and will recommend Dappa's to my friends. Thanks again Corey! Your the man!!!

Is this the Matt fan club!? Haha. I'm sure Matt is super awesome but it was Chris that cut my hair and by the sounds of it (from the other reviews) he's just as good as Matt. He was super knowledgeable and I could tell he had a real passion for it. My haircut was top draw and probably the best I've ever had. Matt should probably watch out ;)

Been using Hacketts now for 3/4 years and always get the same great cut every time. I would highly recommend either Dan or Jamie! The manager Gary is always about and very welcoming.

This place was amazing until Michaela left and then subsequently Jade. I judge my hair cuts on the length of the head massages and since they left I haven't received any.

Fab! Fab! Fab! Best ever salon, go get your hair done @North then pop upstairs to get your nails done @TheManicureSuite 💋

Colour lasts longer than any other salon I'v been to :

Changed my hair colour for fist time in my life. I was afraid and it was a big step. The stylist was really professional and he had very good hair dye so the colour at the end was just the one I wanted.

Lyn is so awesome! The best ever!!

i was fairly happy with the outcome of my hair. however, i do wish that when i said i would prefer it a certain way, i stood my ground more or took a picture in. it was not really what i wanted, and i didnt feel it was my style at all. the service was very good though, and the stylest interesting. be aware they do not take card.

Lovely local beauty salon with a very flexible and friendly approach. Stocks amazing hair and beauty products including my favourite brand Moroccan Oil. I have had my hair and beauty treatments done here for several years, both Jade (hair) and Gosha (beauty) have always been very welcoming, patient and good at what they do. Highly recommended.

Great and affordable.

I would like to say thanks to Steve for the perfect driving and the best conversation well educated and manners. The car was clean and new, the price for the trip was good.

Very efficient booking by email. Safe and smooth driver. New, comfortable roomy car. Good pre booked rate. Would recommend.

Very helpful manager. Good prices and service. Will go back.

Happy with the products very helpful delivery driver, bit busy so not all plain sailing but they make up for that will customer service, and their ability to ensure you only pay for what you use. Will be going back soon.

A range of goods that is second to none. Friendly and efficient staff with encyclopedic knowledge. They'll take as much time helping you pick the right screw for the job, as they will choosing a full range of power tools. Competitive prices too. Superb!

What a wonderful place! Not only we're all the staff extremely helpful, friendly and attentive, but the items stocked and prices charged were better than expected! A really nice family run business! Highly recommended

Reliable and good price. Highly recommended

Hired a commercial strimmer from these guys who were very friendly and helpful

Martin and his PA Debbie are a fantastic team and really helped us set up our mortgage and life assurance. As first time buyers we had no idea what we were doing and Martin made it as simple as it could be. What made the service great was he saw us at times that suited our working schedule and at times when usual banks would have closed or stopped taking appointments. Would recommend Martin to everyone (and have).

Superb service and excellent knowledge. Would recommend Martin Watson to anybody looking for mortgage or investment advice.

Fantastic place home from home. Staff are so wonderful

Nice location. Helpful, polite staff. Cat didn't want to come home!

Helpful and knowledgeable staff. Great facilities for the housed animals. Only criticism is with their website, which is not updated to show the animals currently residing there.

Very helpful. Free parking (get a ticket at reception) We have helped a rescue cat, who now rules us. We still have to visit to get medication for her, but it's all good.

We moved to Ashman Jones a year ago having become increasingly dissatisfied with our previous vets who simply could not cope with our terribly scared and nervous Collie. They have been wonderful both with him and our other dogs who are all fine with going to the vets! We are never pushed treatments, we always see the same vets and their level of service and personal care is second to none. I would thoroughly recommend them as the only vets to see in Bath.

The staff at Ashman Jones always give their utmost when caring for our pets. It is clear how passionate they are about giving the best care and treatment for the animals as well as helping to put the owners at ease. Highly recommended.

A small library, but nonetheless worthy for its location and service, both which are greatly appreciated. Always a welcome sight to see it open.

Opening hours: Tuesday 09:30 - 12:30 & 13:30 - 19:00, Thursday 09:30 - 13:00, Friday & Saturday 09:30 - 12:30 & 13:30 - 17:00

Good book selection and plenty of helpful staff. Nice airy space in handy location. Computers getting a bit tired e.g. slow log in times, broken keyboards (legs/stands snapped), can't book PC's online and printing service limited. Would benefit from later closing times a few days a week. Automated book check out service handy but fiddly until done a few times to get the hang of it, seen a few frustrated oldies because they aren't tech savvy. Study area has useful plug points for laptops. Good overall but funding cuts are starting to show. Are lower taxes/council tax bills worthwhile if future generations get short changed in other ways? A rich town like Bath should have an exemplary, well funded, all round library service for all, it could afford one if it really wanted one.

One of the best locations for a library: Central, near shops, tea-rooms etc. Easy access with a lift that arrives right outside, lovely views from large windows. My Mum used the reference section to write her book which after publication is now IN the library. HOWEVER BANES are now planning to close and re-locate it:( SAVE BATH LIBRARY !!!

A library at the University of Bath! What more could you want? Well... maybe a Cornish pasty though the Students' Union nearby does some swell ones and there's a beautiful lake nearby perfect for drowning things, so convenient, 5 stars, would recommend.

24 hours library for University of Bath. Great views of the pond from all the floors. Will need student ID card to access.

Chis and Ian decorated five rooms in our house and we were really pleased with the service, finish and price! They were very fast and easy to have in the house - they weren't at all intrusive. They cleaned up every evening so there was no mess or stuff left about. The price was exactly what they quoted. They helped quite a bit with colour choice etc - and they were right! Perfect. I shall recommend them to everyone but only once my house has been finished!

The staff has always been informative, helpful, and friendly. Will continue to return...

I wouldn't go anywhere else, or any other paint from now on! They darkened down one of their own colours, to create the most amazing aubergine feature wall paint for me. Friendly staff & great decorating advice

Davies of Bath were very helpful to me when trying to source a product that most suppliers did not have available. Great service.

Consistently helpful service with a large stock of all things painting and decorating.

Nick provides a relaxed atmosphere which allows him to catch some priceless memories of your special day. I would recommend Nick as your Official Photographer without hesitation if you are hoping to capture the essence of the day. Oh and Congratulations on your forthcoming wedding! It really is the best day of your life.

Paolo took beautiful and high quality photos of our college ball! He went out of his way to be extremely helpful and make the night run smoothly, he was also great fun and made everyone feel at ease. I am so grateful we picked him as our photographer. Thank you so much for your hard work Paolo, you were brilliant!

I have worked with Paolo several times now and on each occasion I have found him personally to be helpful, professional and friendly, whilst the photos which have come back are of the highest quality. He has a way of using light and capturing the moment which is very special. I cannot recommend him highly enough which is why we will continue to use him both for commercial and wedding photography.

An amazing artistic photographer....I knew that our wedding photographs would be in safe hands the moment I entered his studio. His work is fantastic! We had so many lovely compliments from family and friends regarding Lee......it really felt like he was one of the wedding party. Thanks so much xx Anna and Paul

I have known Lee for over 10 years, he is a superb photographer the quality of his work says it all. He has worked with me on a variety of different projects not to mention shooting our own wedding. His attention to detail and contemporary vision is extremely hard to find! Use Lee, in my opinion and experience you will not work with a better or more charming photographer!

Situation: Called for a pipe fix due to a leak in kitchen sink. Gave a call and was offered an appointment for next working day. Time of engineer's arrival was specified and arrived promptly. Review comments: Overall very good. Engineer resolved issue very quickly and efficiently. Customer service for appointment scheduling very good as well and commendable for offering an appointment within the next day. No complaints to make. I recommend to anyone in the Bath area.

Quick and efficient and reliable service. An absolute must have when managing a property remotely. Thanks

Andy and the team were brilliant when taking down a garage to the back of our garden. TPM were lovely to deal with and we would thoroughly recommend. Thank you for doing such a good job.

First rate local business. Arrived when they said they would and unblocked my drain in no time. They also cleaned up after them. Very pleased I called them. I would recommend to anyone :-)

I had a kitchen sink which drained very slowly and when my washing machine pumped out the used water it couldn't go down the (same) drain pipe. Second floor flat and the blockage was a long way down. They managed to break up and suck out all the muck. They're very efficient and friendly. Excellent job!

We had our wedding invites printed here as well as some high res scanning of our watercolours and tidying/adjustments to our art work. The team we're so unbelievably helpful and supportive throughout. Really great and speedy communication on email or phone and they were also very patient with me and all my changing ideas... which for me is saying something! Thanks to all the fab team at colour works Bath. We will definitely be using you again Georgia and Tom x

Highly recommended. Beautiful design and printing of the Order of Service for my Uncle's funeral. Thank you.

Minuteman provided an exceptional printing service. They produced a run of mounted photos for an exhibition I worked on without hassle and to a very high standard. I must give particular praise to the customer service for being patient, well informed and helpful. I would definitely use them again/

Thanks for the amazing job you did with my grandad's Order of Service. About half the cost of the other quotes I got, plus you turned it around in abou 18 hours! No compromise on quality either. Thanks again.

I have used every printer in Bath and as far as I am concerned, this is the only one you need. You get what you asked for, when you asked for it and if you mess up they go out of the way to make sure you get the job out on time. A really good professional service.

Staff always helpful and cheerful, helping unload where they can and advising where each item needs to go. Beware of long queues that form 45 minutes before closing time - don't leave it until the last minute to go there.

Always friendly and helpful staff.

Fab service, super quick, no waiting around, friendly and helpful.

Excellent fast service very helpful and friendly

Good customer service good choice in secondhand books and furniture

Firbank's were friendly and helpful from our first phone call and were able to respond to our changing moving date with the minimum of fuss. The team who came to load us were polite and efficient and made every effort to keep the carpet clean while they worked. On arrival out our new place they worked tirelessly to get us settled in as quickly as possible. An easy 5 stars

This will be the third time that Thomas Firbank removals will have moved me and the reason I use them is the service is fantastic. The boxes and packing materials provided before are very good quality. On the day of the move, the guys turn up impeccably turned out, cheerful, reassuring and so helpful. I cannot recommend them strongly enough to make the move as easy as possible. Thank you!

Smooth move and good packing service

Fantastic service from AJ Removals when I moved from London to Bath. I had concerns about being out of my property early with the travel back to Bath, but turns out the guys had travelled up the evening before so they could be with me first thing in the morning. All of this was included in the price! All the guys were very professional, relaxed, friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. Would certainly use AJ Removals again!!

1st class professional service from Alan and his team. Meticulous attention to detail. Nothing to much trouble. Friendly and helpful.

Been visiting here for 20+ years for a generally consistent standard of good Cantonese fare, with a more recent addition of less authentic Thai. Great value. The change of ownership has degraded some of the produce quality – in particular ‘seafood’ which no longer comprises of plump green lipped mussels, king prawns and calamari rings (unless specified) but now a primarily minced alternative instead. Still tasty but nowhere near the previous quality or texture of the whole mollusc! Recommend set menus and excellent value Chinese curries. No dishes leap off the menu as spectacular any more, nevertheless despite recent variances, still one of my favourite 'Chinese Takeaways'. Friendly staff and great delivery drivers. If you like Cantonese you won't be disappointed.

Best Chinese in the local area... always tasty. It's our reliable go-to Chinese Takeaway

Excellent food!!! Friendly staff. One of the best takeaways in Bath! Definitely recommended!

Good Greek food, cheap prices. Pretty noisy sometimes

Our go to Chinese takeaway. Can take a while for deliveries but food is great.

Perfect Chinese! Best in Bath by far..

I have been dealing with Stone King LLP for a number of years and found them to be very helpful, resourceful and willing to go the extra mile for me as a client. I have used them for trust, wills and probate work and in handling my rather messy divorce. If you are looking for a top quality local law firm then you really should visit Stone King first.

I have used stone king for a variety of tasks. Moving house, sorting my will, probate for my Mum, business as well. They have always been very helpful and the fees have been fine! Wouldn't use another firm now.

Contacted them about a complex leasehold / freehold issue in a block of flats and got swift actionable advice from the excellent property team.

The commercial property team did an excellent job negotiating the lease on our new offices. Fast work & an excellent outcome so many thanks.

I consulted McMillan Williams Solicitors regarding an emotionally charged debt recovery matter and was assisted by Louise Tunstall. She was able to provide me with an accurate, well-informed and realistic appraisal of my chances of recovering this debt as well as outlining the options I had at my disposal. She continued to follow through with me even though it became apparent that I might not have need for any chargeable services. Louise's approach engendered immediate trust and she would be my first port of call in the future.

Stuart Henry provided a very efficient and professional service to resolve a dispute. Stuart was knowledgeable and experienced and managed the issue to resolution quickly. I'll definitely be using MW Solicitors again. Many thanks.

Great service. Waiting as promised, courteous and happy to do an extra journey after planned drop off. Thank you

Used them three times in two days on a very busy weekend. The first trip one company let us down and another said they didn't have any cars, so they were actually the third company that I called. Arrived within 10 minutes no problems and the fare was exactly as quoted. Booked them again for a trip to and from a destination the day after and both times the drivers arrived 5 minutes early with no issues. I will note that the fee was 10% over each of these times but to be honest I wasn't too bothered about it as it wasn't significant (£30 total when the lady on the phone said £27). Very courteous drivers and an excellent service, will always recommend them to friends visiting Bath.

I would like to say thanks to Steve for the perfect driving and the best conversation well educated and manners. The car was clean and new, the price for the trip was good.

Very efficient booking by email. Safe and smooth driver. New, comfortable roomy car. Good pre booked rate. Would recommend.

Use pretty much on a daily basis never had an issue...usually reliable and quick

Excellent Service

After moving out from University of Bath, STA Travel landed here in the centre of Bath. Staffs are helpful, and could give you some good advices on your bookings. Students can sometimes get some good discount through them.

Helpful staff. Good deals and service

Thanks for the great service and organising our great holiday to Maritius. My girlfriend and I had an incredible trip and you made it so easy to book. We'd never have found this amazing beach lodge on our own! We will definitely be back! Cheers!

"Huge thanks to C The World for all the help putting my family holiday together. You made it all so easy and we had a super time".

The salesman (Abhi?) was friendly and knowledgeable with a wealth of real-world experience. Never a pushy sale and I felt completely relaxed from start to finish. Even some of my more silly questions were handled tactfully and with ease. Thoroughly recommend

Amazing service, Amazing team....we can't recommend them enough. If we could give then 6 stars we would.

Very helpful and a very calm place for animals

Fantastic patience and resourcefulness shown by the wonderful vet at Oldfield Park surgery once again today whilst treating my extremely nervous and skittish border collie. Thank you for being so kind to him (and me).

All Staff -Vets, Nurses and Receptionists are lovely. They are always interested and empathetic with your animal. The charges are very competitive and I would recommend Bath Vets to anyone and everyone. I've taken my dogs and cats to several surgeries over the years , dependant on the whether it's an emergency or not, and the treatment and care is always the same - excellent. Thank you guys

Its a very interesting and caring place. They take care of the animals extremely well, they defiantly make sure the job is done. I know because I did work experience there and I absolutely loved it!!! XD The staff are really friendly and caring, they give you and your animals support if you feel upset or worried. They all know what their doing and they do it extremely well. Your pets are treated and looked after tremendously well and kept in really clean cages. Some parts of the building does need a bit of a fix but they are sorting it out soon. If there's ever a problem with one of the animals they make sure that that animal is sorted as soon as possible. They are a really great vet and deserve 100 gold stars!!! XD :3 >0.0

Such an incredibly kind and professional vets. We're very lucky to have them nearby. Thank you all for your exceptional fortitude and patience in the face of my nervous cat today! I'm so grateful for all your kindness - and for the almost instant appointment when we were worried about timings. You were just amazing today. :)

This is a lovely vet, with friendly and well organised staff. I am always happy with my experience.
