Dónde: Bath

Bath can be seen in a day from London, but with two nights it changes: you bathe at night on the thermal rooftop without watching the train clock, and you have a whole day left for what almost everybody wants to see in the west of England, Stonehenge. Bath is 1 h 20 by train from Paddington and is the best base for reaching the stones without a car.

## Where to stay

Without a car, in the centre. The Abbey Hotel Bath, on North Parade, is five minutes from the station and accepts dogs; the Premier Inn Bath City Centre, next to Kingsmead, is the budget option. If the getaway is a celebration, The Gainsborough Bath Spa, on Beau Street, has its own spa with thermal water and saves you the Thermae time slots.

## Where to eat

Sally Lunn's for the bun and tea, every day from 10:00 to 21:00, with candlelit dinners that do need booking. The Scallop Shell, near the Royal Crescent, for fish and chips, open at lunchtime on Sundays too.

## With children

The thermal spa does not admit under-16s: with children, swap Saturday's bath for the Bath Skyline, the National Trust hills, with a play area. The Roman Baths have a children's audio guide, and No. 1 Royal Crescent is free for under-18s.

## Un consejo más

If you prefer to drive on Sunday, hire a car for that day only: Stonehenge is a good hour by road, and buy your English Heritage ticket online before midnight on Saturday for the reduced price.

## Cuándo no ir

Driving through central Bath on Saturday: slow traffic and expensive car parks. Arrive by train and get around on foot.

## Dónde dormir if you're flying
- **The Gainsborough Bath Spa**: The house
A five-star hotel on Beau Street, a minute from the Roman Baths and the Thermae Bath Spa. What sets it apart is the Spa Village Bath: a spa with pools fed by water from the original thermal springs. Check its website for access conditions and opening times.
Who it suits
For a couple's getaway or a celebration: sleeping in Bath and bathing in thermal water without leaving the hotel, with no queues or weekend sessions. With young children, ask about the spa's age rules first.
Getting there
Bath Spa station is about five or ten minutes' walk, going down Southgate. Everything there is to see in Bath, from the abbey to the Royal Crescent, is reached on foot from the door.
- **Abbey Hotel Bath**: The house
A four-star hotel in a Georgian terrace on North Parade, two minutes from the abbey and Sally Lunn's. It has 65 cheerfully designed rooms, a tea room, the Abbey Tea Bar, and a bar with art on the walls.
Who it suits
For one or two nights in Bath without a car, with everything on foot, and for anyone travelling with a dog: the hotel presents itself as dog-friendly and has pet packages. With children, ask when booking which rooms can take an extra bed.
Getting there
Bath Spa station is a five-minute walk, crossing Manvers Street. Pulteney Bridge is five minutes in the other direction, and the Royal Crescent a quarter of an hour away.
- **Premier Inn Bath City Centre**: The house
A modern Premier Inn next to Kingsmead Square, on the western edge of the centre. What it offers is what you expect from the chain, which in Bath, an expensive city to sleep in, counts: identical, quiet rooms, air conditioning, a restaurant serving breakfast, free wifi and a location five minutes from the Roman Baths and the station.
The rooms
Large beds, a shower and a desk. There are accessible rooms with adapted bathrooms; if you are travelling with children, ask about family rooms when booking.
Getting there and parking
The hotel has no car park. The nearest are the council-run car park at the Southgate shopping centre (BA1 1TP) and the Avon Street car park, both paid. It is better to arrive by train: Bath Spa is about five minutes' walk.
- **The Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa**: Why here?
To sleep inside the set. The hotel is at number 16 of the Royal Crescent, the Georgian crescent where the series places the Featheringtons, at number 1. Nothing was filmed at the hotel and it has no decor from the series; what it has is the Georgian house and the address, and Visit Bath includes it among the places to stay for a Bridgerton trip. In the morning you step out onto the crescent before the groups arrive.
The house
It has 45 rooms and suites and, behind, a garden of almost half a hectare, a spa with a pool and the Montagu's Mews restaurant. Valet parking is free subject to availability, which in Bath is worth a lot. Nightly prices are not published without dates: check them on its website for your days.
Afternoon tea, even if you are not staying
Afternoon tea is open to non-guests: £49 per person and £24.50 for children, every day from 12:30 to 16:00, in the garden, the terrace, the bar or the restaurant. From 26 November to 31 December 2026 there is a Christmas menu. Book on its website.
With a dog
It takes up to two dogs in a few rooms with access to the garden or the courtyard, at £50 per dog per stay. You must tell them when booking, by phone.
