Roseate Villa Bath

Best for… the afternoon tea of dreams Despite being minutes from the city centre, the Roseate Villa maintains a serene air, overlooking the leafy Henrietta Park. Rooms are airy and stylish – some with a chaise longue for lady-of-leisure moments. The staff bring welcome chocolates to your room, whip up a mean mojito with homemade passion-fruit liqueur and serve an elegant afternoon tea of finger sandwiches, scones and cakes, plus Champagne and cocktails. Rooms from £250; roseatehotels.com
