One Three Nine Bath is a high-end bed-and-breakfast set in a large Victorian house on a hill overlooking the center of Bath. Spotless interiors have a fresh contemporary finish throughout, with 10 individually styled rooms varying in size and character. In-room amenities include nice touches such as Molten Brown products and fresh milk for coffee, while some have four-poster beds and hot tubs. Overall, despite the uphill hike from Bath center, which might not be for everyone, it's one of the finest bed-and-breakfasts in the city. If it's booked, the Villa Magdala is another great bed-and-breakfast worth considering.

The Gainsborough Bath Spa sets the standard for five-pearl luxury. The sophisticated hotel is set in a historic building in the heart of Bath, and its crowning glory is the spa, which features an elegant atrium pool that draws water from Bath's ancient thermal springs. The spa also has saunas, steam rooms, relaxation areas, 11 treatment rooms, and a fitness center. The hotel's fine-dining restaurant is well-reviewed, and there's also a cocktail lounge, posh bar, and 24-hour room service. The hotel's 99 rooms and suites pair Georgian style with contemporary details and high-end amenities like Nespresso coffeemakers, Roberts radios, iPod docks, and free minibars. Competition in the area includes The Ayrlington, a more intimate guest house-style property that tends to be less expensive, but it lacks the amenities of The Gainsborough.

The upper-middle-range Oldfields House is a bed-and-breakfast set in a classic Victorian house located about a 10 to 15 minute walk to the heart of Bath. Decor is largely traditional -- and sometimes dated -- but homey and full of character. The property's 16 rooms vary significantly in size and style, from tiny Single Rooms to the more spacious Four-Poster Room with a fireplace and whirlpool tub. All rooms have flat-screen TVs with DVD players, coffee and tea service, and free Wi-Fi. A decent -- and free -- cooked English breakfast is served daily and includes smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. As an alternative, Brook Guesthouse offers a similar vibe but a slightly more boutique-y feel.

Located two miles outside of Bath and nestled in 20 private acres of English countryside, the upscale Bailbrook House hotel occupies both the historic Georgian Mansion House and Bailbrook Court, an adjacent modern annex. All of it underwent a major 2013 renovation.

The hotel offers a tasty free breakfast buffet and has a posh on-site restaurant and bar, plus lots of elegant, country estate-style lounge spaces.

Set in the gorgeous English countryside overlooking the Limpley Stoke Valley, this 18th-century Georgian-style manor provides a relaxing escape with magnificent views and English manicured grounds.

Many of Bath's tourist destinations are a short drive away, but don't expect any outside entertainment or restaurants within walking distance of the hotel.

Classic charm is supported by modern-day amenities like flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and luxe toiletries. Direct garden access from select rooms complete the picture of this beautiful English countryside escape. However, amenities, such as a full restaurant and gym, are missing.
