You might need to remortgage the house to get in, or maybe even sell your car, but then how often do you get to enjoy afternoon tea at a place like this? The Bath Priory is one of the city’s most elegant establishments, a cafe, restaurant and hotel that exudes grace from every nook and cranny. It doesn’t get any more ‘English’ than afternoon tea here, rest assured. The evening restaurant is marvellous as well, with a great vegetarian restaurant and all the awards to show for it.
