So, day two of Bath, we had booked into the Thermae Bath Spa which is right next door to the Roman Baths in Bath. I have to admit that I was a little sceptical…but to my amazement we had a lovely few hours. Behind the old facade is a new three storey building. The lower ground has a thermal pool, ground is entry, first floor is treatment rooms, second floor is wellness centre, third floor is outdoor rooftop pool. The water is spring water that starts as 45 C and is cooled to 42 c for the pool. There are sections of bubbles in both pools, whirlpools and it is deceptively relaxing! We both spent time in the dry sauna and the steam rooms, which to my amazement were very pleasant (I wondered at how far we had come from COVID times though - bein in a closed room breathing in steam!). We also booked a one hour massage which we squeezed into pool time a wellness centre time….we both felt amazing at the end. There were no cameras allowed…so pics are from the web!
After a quick lunch we hit the road to our next lodgings - Coddingford Corner - a small AirBnB off tiny one lane laneways at the back of Crediton. The village is nothing spectacular, but the accommodation is very stylish and comfortable and I could easily see spending a week here to explore the area.
