Must-see Bath attractions
"Nestled within four acres of mature award-winning gardens, The Bath Priory hotel is a tranquil oasis just a short walk away from the city centre, think country house in the city. The hotel feels like a private residence, rooms are named after flowers and each of the 33 guest-rooms are different, and adorned with art work and antiques, sourced by Andrew and Christina Brownsword the hotel proprietors. Rooms come in various categories from classic through to deluxe with beautiful views out to the garden and their own balconies and if you want to go for the ultimate luxury experience choose one of their suites which include decadent roll top baths and separate living areas."
"Not only does the hotel have a luxurious spa, it has its eye very much on all things budding and beautiful – it has a stunning, award-winning garden and all its rooms are named after flowers. The Heather and Lilac offer ‘Romeo & Juliet’ balconies overlooking the gardens. The Bath Priory is perfect for a romantic weekend."
"During the summer months, there are few better places to sit and while away a few hours than on the top deck of The Grain Barge, Bristol Beer Factory’s most distinctive venue.
