LITERARY EDITION
Bookshops
Well-known for its many literary links, Bath is home to a host of iconic independent bookshops. While away a day exploring the shelves of Toppings, Mr B’s Emporium of Reading Delights and Persephone books, bring your treasures back for a lazy library hour in the cabin.
Museums
Jane Austen is Synonymous with Bath; you can take a trip to the famous Jane Austen centre and step back in time. For those who want something a little more exciting we recommend a Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein experience, immersive museum and escape rooms to get the heart racing!
Literary Festivals & Events
You can enjoy an abundance of bookish events from Bath’s bookshops year round and a full programme of events for Bath Literary Festival in May. The annual Jane Austen Festival descends upon Bath is September and is quite the event for the spectators and participants alike.

FOOD & DRINK EDITION
Choosing where to eat can sometimes feel overwhelming! So here are a few of our personal favourites if you need a little help making a decision!
Sweet Tooth
If you are partial to a sweet treat, include Good Day Café in your plans for the most creative and delicious cookies, brookies and brownies! Stop by Nata & Co for moreish Portuguese treats. For ice cream lovers a pilgrimage to Swoon Gelato is an absolute must.
Meals
Obviously, our top recommendation is Castle Farm, Midford! But we have a few favourite spots to eat in the city. Our go to for pizza and Italian food is Bosco, Hondo Sushi for Japanese food, Landrace for a real treat and Solina for the perfect pasta pitstop. For cheese lovers the cafe at The Fine cheese Company cafe is frankly unmissable yet easily missed, walk on past the counters and keep going for Fromage heaven, we recommend bringing something from the counter back to the cabin on your way out too!
Drinks
If cosy cocktails are your thing, a visit to atmospheric Dark Horse should be top of your list. In the Summer we always seek out the Traditional Lemonade stand near the weir for ultimate refreshment.

Reset
If you need a little help settling your nervous system you could simply enjoy your private sauna, then curl up with a blanket and a pot of chamomile tea in the cabin! Away from the farm there are plenty more restful options like a relaxing sound bath at The Soul Spa or unfurl with a class at Robyn’s Yoga Studio
Indulge
Bath is known for its spas, and there are plenty to choose from Bath Thermae to sauna, steam and swim amongst the chimneys and spires of the city. For the absolute best massage, we highly recommend Manipura House. A luxurious spa day? We recommend are Lucknam Park, worth a drive out of town!
