Still searching for that insta-worthy UK spa break this year? TripAdvisor recently named Bath in its top 10 destinations for a summer staycation and this week we’re highlighting one of Bath’s most sensational hotel-spas. Here are 3 reasons you need to visit The Gainsborough Bath Spa.
1. Location
Situated right in the heart of this picturesque city, The Gainsborough Bath Spa offers both relaxation and the chance to discover what’s on your doorstep. This Summer, The Gainsborough team are offering creative summer excursions such as hiring e-bikes to explore the neighbouring countryside, hopping on a boat to cruise down the River Avon or even taking to the skies with a hot air balloon experience. A well known UK city, Bath is famous for its roman ancestry and Georgian splendour, as well a treasure trove of independent boutiques that line the cobbled streets. Farmers markets are also a frequent occurrence where foodie tourists can find fresh Somerset cheeses and delectable homemade fudge.

2. Spa/ Wellness Offering
After a day of exploring Bath, you can return to the comfort of The Gainsborough, ending a day of excitement at the hotel’s calming Bath House. As the only hotel in the country with access to Bath’s original thermal waters, there’s no better place to restore body and mind.
