BATH The Gainsborough Bath Spa is the ideal setting for those looking for grandeur and sophistication and is a stone’s throw from where Netflix’s new film, Persuasion, was shot. The Gainsborough Bath Spa offers guests a taste of living in an Austen novel with classic British afternoon tea and a prime location in the heart of the city, neighbouring the Bath Assembly Rooms, Roman Baths and Holburne Museum.

This is the only hotel that offers direct access to the city’s natural thermal waters, where guests can look forward to an indulgent spa experience. Those looking to go all out can stay at The Townhouse, a private Georgian property that combines the grandeur of a private home with the five-star services of a luxury hotel.
