The Gainsborough Bath Spa - Bath, Somerset

The on-site AA Rosette-awarded restaurant serves multi-course dinners focused on local and seasonal produce. The chef uses locally sourced ingredients, and the restaurant has direct access to the gardens where drinks and canapés are served in warm weather. Breakfast includes fresh local produce, homemade hash browns, and eggs from the hotel's own hens.

Each of the 12 en suite rooms is individually decorated with a distinct theme and overlooks the village green or gardens. Rooms are equipped with flat-screen televisions, comfortable bedding, and some offer balconies or direct garden access. A communal fridge in the hallway provides fresh milk and chilled water for in-room tea and coffee.

The hotel sits within 3 acres of private, landscaped gardens that include a vegetable plot, fruit trees, and a variety of plants. Guests can relax on outdoor seating scattered throughout the grounds, and the restaurant's direct garden access allows for al fresco dining. The gardens also house resident peacocks, guinea fowl, and ducks.

The hotel welcomes quiet, well-behaved dogs in designated rooms with direct garden access. An additional charge per night applies for pets, and no single occupancy concession is offered. The large gardens provide ample space for dog walks and include a vegetable plot and fruit trees.

The hotel offers exclusive venue access for corporate events without interruption, with use of the gardens and private meeting spaces. The property's peaceful rural setting and proximity to the M5 make it convenient for business travelers. Customized event hosting includes catering from the AA Rosette-awarded restaurant.
