Eat

The Olive Tree Restaurant is Bath’s only Michelin-starred dining room, under the accomplished direction of Executive Chef Chris Cleghorn. Inspired by the best of modern British cooking, Cleghorn’s approach foregrounds fresh local produce, with an exacting focus on provenance and seasonality. Expect evolving tasting menus that weave together local meat and West Country seafood, garden vegetables, and imaginative flourishes that never overwhelm the produce. Classic techniques underpin each dish, but there’s a lightness of touch and sense of discovery, carried through from savoury to dessert. The restaurant’s smart, neutral-toned space and unfussy, knowledgeable service make it well suited for relaxed fine dining, romantic suppers, and celebratory long lunches. A carefully curated wine list complements the food, making the Olive Tree Restaurant a destination in its own right.

Sleep

Stays at The Queensberry Hotel are defined by individuality and cosseting details. Each room and suite is uniquely decorated—think bold, modern fabrics alongside classic Georgian proportions and period windows. Expect custom touches, indulgently comfortable beds, quality linens, and lovingly restored bathrooms stocked with designer toiletries. The sense of quiet grandeur is matched by thoughtful, unobtrusive service. Couples, friends and solo travellers alike will appreciate both the pampering in-room comforts and the public spaces, including a lounge and a well-stocked cocktail bar, perfect for post-dinner nightcaps.
