For a luxurious B&B

For a spoiling spa

• The Gainsborough Bath Spa is the perfect choice if you want to tap into Bath's original thermal springs. There are three pools filled with thermal water in which to wallow, the largest set under a glass-roofed atrium, as well as saunas and a steam room. For a really romantic stay, book a Bath Spa Room or the Bath Spa Suite, where roll-top tubs can be filled with the natural thermal waters.
