Must-see Bath attractions
"This 1830s, creeper-covered Bath stone mansion backs on to nearly four acres of beautifully maintained gardens that include expansive lawns, ponds, and a kitchen garden. The large terrace overlooking the garden is very popular for eating and drinking in fine weather. Setting the country-house tone inside are plush lounges with squishy sofas, ticking clocks, real fires in winter and a large and enjoyably diverse array of art."
"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. As its name suggests, the converted barge has been in position beside Mardyke Wharf in Hotwells since 2007, and offers genuinely unique views of Bristol Harbour."
"Just a little further down the road and we come to the Grain Barge, a historic converted barge. This central spot is known for its stunning views over the water. Check it out on a Wednesday when they host an open mic night."
"What: SquareMeal’s UK Restaurant of the Year 2018 is a hugely impressive harbourside venture located on the ground floor of the old Bristol General Hospital building, now given a stylish 21st-century makeover in chic neutrals. Casamia's enthusiastic staff aid and abet the chefs in the open kitchen as they take diners on an immensely flavoursome gastronomic journey inspired by the seasons. One-word descriptions (‘salad’, ‘turbot’, ‘duck’) give few clues to the sheer brilliance of the food, but all is revealed once the delicately complex creations start arriving on bespoke crockery."
"The prices may mean you have to save visits for a special occasion (you’re looking at close to £100 per person for the full menu or Chef’s Table, and it’s non-refundable once you book), but Casamia has a reputation for ambition that has put it at the top of Bristol’s fine dining establishments. This doesn’t make it overly formal – there’s no dress code. A focus on seasonal produce means menus change regularly, though there is an Italian influence."
"Probably the best known Michelin star restaurant in Bristol, Casamia is a fine dining experience like no other. The menu at Casamia changes with the seasons, as does the interior of the restaurant. The dishes are designed to showcase seasonal produce at its best and are inspired by childhood memories, locations and people the chefs have met."
"A well-known and popular spot, Bambalan is located in the city centre opposite the Colston Hall and features two roof terraces, ping pong tables and foosball tables. Enjoy fresh and healthy food options and a post-work drink on the ambient terrace overlooking Bristol City Centre."
"Serving up vibrant North African and Mediterranean-inspired dishes, Bambalan is a Bristolian favourite. What makes it so special?. The mega rooftop bar with a view of the city centre, which frequently welcomes DJ sets and summer parties in the warmer months."

"Sat in Bristol’s harbourside, just off of the busy and metropolitan Union Street, Glassboat lies moored in the River Avon. The boat itself is ornately furnished, with dark wooden tables and decking, crisp white table cloths and brass furnishings on the bar. The food served is typical brasserie fare, with grilled and roasted meats, fish, and vegetable being the dish of the day."
"The whole concept of Glassboat is pretty romantic: this restaurant, set on a boat moored on the river, offers a lovely ambience. Don’t worry, it’s well-anchored too, so there’s no chance of losing your dinner!. Book here for sophisticated French food with some great wine choices, accompanied with candlelight and beautiful views over the water."
"There aren't many more romantic places to eat than a floating restaurant. If you visit the Glassboat Restaurant, you can enjoy excellent food, with a great view of the river too - definitely an evening to remember. http://www.glassboat.co.uk/"
