Advantages: Thermal Spa, cosy pubs, Fab restaurants

Disadvantages: Nothing

Bath is a fantastic city with lots to do. I went there for my anniversary in September and would definitely return. We arrived by train and the train station is about a 5-10 minute walk from the main shopping street.

Bath has been designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site and when you get there you will understand why. The buildings are fabulous and the jewel in the crown is the Thermal Spa located in the centre of the city.

We wandered in and out of quirky shops and bars. To be honest we were so relaxed we didn't pass much heed on the names of pubs, but there are loads and they are all central. My advice is to do the same and stumble upon them.

We also went to the Thermal Spa (twice!!!), which was really relaxing and definitely the highlight of my trip. We went for the Twilight Package, which cost £35 each and included a light supper, glass of wine and 3 hours in the spa , plus slippers, robe and towel.

There are other things to do as well such as:

*The Roman Baths - you can see the water's source and walk where Romans walked on the ancient stone pavements.

*Jane Austen Centre

* Sally Lunn's Refreshment House and Museum

*Bath Aqua Theatre of Glass

The Little Theatre Cinema is central and is independently owned. I would have loved to go there as it looked so cosy but unfortunately there was no time. The cinema shows quirky, art-house films.

For food we went to Fishworks, which was amazing. It was so good I have written a separate review about it.

If you like a weekend wandering around and relaxing by stepping in and out of quirky shops and cosy bars, then this is the place for you!

Summary: Bath - great place to go for a relaxing weekend
