The very best places to stay in
Bath
Bath is one of those cities that’s very easy to fall for. All honey-coloured stone, handsome Georgian crescents and cobbled lanes, it packs an awful lot into a relatively small space: Roman baths, excellent galleries and museums, brilliant independent shops, and a food scene that’s reason enough to visit.
We don’t currently have any Kip hideaways in Bath itself, but several are tucked away in the Somerset countryside nearby – close enough to pop into the city for a day of culture, shopping and lunch, then retreat back to somewhere altogether quieter. Make a day of the Roman Baths and Royal Crescent, browse the independents around Walcot Street, or have a long lunch before heading back to the hills.
The best of both worlds, really: Bath when you fancy it, Somerset countryside when you don’t.

Kip tips
must do
Skip the queues at the Roman Baths and instead book a twilight session at Thermae Bath Spa. Float in the rooftop pool as the sun dips over the city’s Georgian rooftops. Pure romance.
best activity
Walk the Bath Skyline Trail, a six-mile loop that takes you from the city centre into rolling countryside and back again. Expect sweeping views, secret woodlands, and a picnic-perfect meadow or two.
secret kip tip
Head to The Circus Café & Restaurant early on a weekday morning — locals linger over pastries and papers here while the city slowly wakes up.
rainy day
Browse the shelves at Mr B’s Emporium, Bath’s beloved independent bookshop. Staff offer “reading spa” sessions, complete with tea and bespoke recommendations.
with kids
Visit The American Museum & Gardens — sprawling grounds, picnic lawns, and a woodland play area overlooking the valley.
foodie treat
Dinner at Menu Gordon Jones is a must for food lovers — a creative, ever-changing tasting menu that feels more like theatre than dining. Book well in advance.
