Thermae spa is amazing, we went in the evening and spent the majority of our visit in the open air hotpool on the roof, under the stars.. really relaxing and beautiful view of the Abbey... stunning! The Roman bath was a great couple of hours learning about the history of the Roman baths. Shopping, Bath is a great place to shop, from high street names to little boutique shops and little market stalls. Food, If you love good food Bath has it all from great pub grub serving local produce, amazing Thai and noodle restaurants, we grabbed a quick supper at the Hong Kong bistros, which from the outside doesn't look like anything special but the food was amazing, really tasty, quick service and helpful staff. There are lots of coffee shops to recharge. Afternoon tea is also a big deal in Bath and The pump room is the place to enjoy it. The only downside is you have to be prepared to queue as its a hotspot that everyone wants to experience. It is easy to get around in Bath, most tourist spots are all in the same area, and within walking distance. Taxis are easy to find and not expensive.

A perfect combination of good shopping, food and beautiful architecture. It's great for wandering around and has a relaxing, friendly atmosphere. On another trip, will definitely take time to explore the Roman Baths and have been recommended to take a swimming costume and bathe there. We were there in December, but it was a bright warm-ish day and there was a fantastic choice of street food vendors. We sat outside and had paella that was delicious and excellent value for money. We loved the shops, particularly some of the independent clothes stores with very unique and stylish designs at competitive prices. As for the houses - just stunning!

Bath was excellent for food and shopping. We particularly enjoyed the Miller and Carter Steakhouse (the fillet steak was to die for!)!. We also visited the Roman Baths which were rich with culture and history. We were lucky enough to book on the Twilight Tour which was magical and then enjoyed a lovely 3 course meal at the Roman Baths kitchen. The terrine, halloumi and artichoke pasta and delicious creme brulee slipped down all too easily. We walked for miles around the endless shops and also went to the Thermae Spa for a two hour blissful soak. We chose to do this around sunset on a sunday and it was very busy, but beautiful. We swam happily in the moonlight, enjoyed a jacuzzi and loved the steams baths. Next time, we would love to visit the Abbey itself as unfortunately they chose to do a staff training day when we had planned to visit.

From the Abbey Hotel everything was on your doorstep the beautiful abbey and the Roman baths 5 minutes walk. Taxis and buses readily available. Ate at the Crystal Palace pub which served great food, in massive portions and also the Salathai Thai Restaurant which was really good. Travelled with partner who is a celiac and had no problem finding good food. Would recommend the Pump Room afternoon tea which did the best gluten free posh tea ever.

Bath is a great city. It's great for shopping (with everything from pound shops, art shops, to high end retail). it's great for sightseeing - as there is a lot of history in and around the city. Is great for a relaxing break - plenty of luxury spas, again due to its history. Great places to eat - with fine restaurants. As it's not a big city it is also possible to get out in to the countryside very quickly - there are some great natural attractions nearby. We have been to bath before, and will still go back again.

We loved the fact that there were so many places to walk to in a compact area; shops, bars, restaurants. Visited Brown's for a drink and had a great Anniversary meal at Le Bistrot Pierre, George Street - good food and good value for money. The architecture is gorgeous and it's well worth joining the free guided walk (duration approx. two hours) which takes place at 10.30 a.m. and (I believe) 2.30 p.m. - pick it up from the Abbey courtyard. Our guide was so knowledgeable and informative. This is something I'd definitely recommend anyone to join (though the walk would be difficult for disabled people as there are steps to climb). Never got to the Thermal Baths - so that's what we'll do when we go back next time!
