Location, location, location!

We chose the hotel as a birthday treat. Its location is fabulous and for me, aircon is essential in Bath at this time of year. The room had huge sash windows and a view of the Bath Spa! We actually used the hotel’s spa on two occasions. This is a real plus for the hotel and they do it well. It’s well equipped, beautifully clean and attractively laid out. There’s also a reasonable gym on site but we just didn’t have time to use that too. The room was a nice size, the bed was extremely comfortable and it was very clean. My only niggles were about staffing levels. There seemed to be only one person on the evening desk and when we rang down for extra milk, nobody picked up and we tried several numbers, numerous times. I also think the decor is in need of a refresh, given that it’s a smart hotel in a beautiful city. Having said all that, we did have a lovely time there!

The Gainsborough Bath Spa Hotel…Spa Girl Heaven As a spa girl, I had to come to Bath, and this hotel spoke to me. The spa is absolutely adorable, and my massage? 👩‍🍳💋 Pure perfection. The front desk was delightful, and our room was super cute. Bath as a town winds down early (around 8 PM), so if I came back, I’d do it like this: spa in the morning, explore in the afternoon, spa again, dinner, then bed. Highly recommend for a blissful, relaxing getaway.
