    Yummy afternoon tea , fully accessible and fabulous experience

    Fully accessible and fabulous experience. We had afternoon tea, which was very yummy and there was even a child’s version, to their great excitement. Wheelchair accessible and staff were very helpful and jolly too. The strings and piano were a perfect accompaniment. View of the Baths from the windows too.

    So much better than I expected from an ancient site

    We visited the Roman Baths whilst on holiday in Somerset. I'll be honest, I didn't expect it to be that accessible, given the age and type of site but they have really thought about how wheelchair access is possible to all areas. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and were really impressed!
