WHY BATH
Georgian calm and Britain's only natural thermal spa.
Bath is the shortest distance between a busy week and feeling human again: honey-stone crescents, steaming spring water two thousand years in the making, and an easy train from London. It rewards doing very little, beautifully.

Thermae Bath Spa
4.2★ (10,544) · Thermal spa · 2–4 hoursThe Roman Baths

6 miles · 3 hoursKennet & Avon Canal to Bathampton
3.5 miles round trip · 90 minutesPrior Park Landscape Garden
1–2 hoursMenu Gordon Jones
A surprise tasting menu from one of the South West's most inventive kitchens — no choices to make, which is rather the point of a Reset.
4.9★ (467) · ££££ · Fine Dining RestaurantOlive Tree Restaurant
Bath's most decorated dining room, in the Queensberry Hotel — polished, seasonal and worth dressing up for.
4.5★ (445) · ££££ · RestaurantSotto Sotto
Candlelit Italian in a vaulted stone cellar — the city's most reliably lovely dinner. Book ahead; everyone knows.
4.8★ (2,445) · ££ · Italian RestaurantThe Circus Restaurant
The neighbourhood bistro every city wishes it had, a minute from the Royal Crescent — gentle, generous cooking.
4.7★ (1,267) · ££ · European RestaurantThe Raven
A proper freehouse famous for its pies and well-kept ale, spread over two creaking Georgian floors.
4.7★ (5,246) · ££ · PubThe Old Green Tree
Tiny, wood-panelled and blissfully phone-hostile — the cosiest room in Bath on a cold evening.
4.6★ (698) · £ · PubThe Star Inn
A time-capsule of a pub on the Paragon, pouring ale from the jug as it has for generations.
4.7★ (693) · £ · PubThe Green Bird Cafe
The morning-after spot: proper coffee and an unhurried brunch in a leafy corner near the Circus.

Bath, answered.
When is the best time to visit Bath?
A spa break in Bath works in any season. Autumn and January to March are the quietest and best value, with the calmest pools; late spring and summer are loveliest for pairing the spa with time outdoors.
How do I get to Bath?
Bath is easily reached by road, and by rail to the nearest town. Retreat48 times the real door-to-door journey — road, rail and transfers — from your actual starting point.
What is Bath best for?
Bath is best for switching off, being pampered and a first-time break. Georgian calm and Britain's only natural thermal spa.
