There’s something utterly enchanting about Bath in December. The cobbled streets twinkle with fairy lights, the air smells faintly of cinnamon and roasted chestnuts, and the Georgian facades glow golden under the winter sun. Step outside Haringtons’ front door, and you’ll find yourself right at the heart of it all — just moments from the world-famous Bath Christmas Market and all the festive delights this beautiful city has to offer.

✨ Step into a Christmas Card Scene

From late November, Bath transforms into a winter wonderland. More than 150 chalets pop up across the city centre, each brimming with handcrafted gifts, artisan foods, and festive treats. Stroll through the market with a steaming cup of mulled wine, nibble on spiced nuts, and listen to the carollers as they fill the Abbey Courtyard with joyful tunes.

If shopping’s not your thing, don’t worry — half the fun is simply soaking up the atmosphere. Wander down Milsom Street with its grand Georgian glow, take in the ice rink at Victoria Park, or warm up with a decadent hot chocolate from one of Bath’s cosy independent cafés.

🍷 Festive Nights at Haringtons

After a day of exploring, our lounge and bar are your cosy retreat. We’re now open to non-residents from 10am to 10pm, serving artisanal coffees, teas, local wines, cocktails, and a few cheeky nibbles to match.

Think crackling conversations, candlelight, and the clink of glasses as the evening settles in — the perfect way to end a magical day in the city.

And if you’re lucky enough to be staying with us this season, there’s a little festive sparkle waiting for you...

🎁 Stay during the Christmas Market or New Year and receive a delicious box of chocolates and a mimosa with breakfast — exclusively for direct bookings.

🛏️ A Winter Stay Full of Charm

Each of our 13 boutique rooms is uniquely designed — think bold wallpapers, plush bedding, and a touch of quirk that makes every stay feel special. Prefer a little extra space? Our 16 serviced apartments scattered across Bath are perfect for festive family stays or longer getaways, offering that “home-from-home” comfort (with all the perks of a hotel stay, of course).

We’re just a few steps from the Abbey, the Theatre Royal, and some of Bath’s best restaurants. In other words: you’ll never have to walk far in the cold!
