Going to be in these places on Sunday, not sure what there is to do in either place other than to visit the Roman Baths in you guessed it... Bath.

Any other ideas about what to do in either of these places? Anywhere good to eat/drink? Any particularly nice scenic spots?

The Star Inn for quality Bass Ales served from jugs and stillage behind the bar. The Bell is interesting too, it's a local coop pub.

I'd add the Raven and the Brew House to the list.

For food the hotpot section of the Tasty Resturant is great if you like proper Szechuan Chinese food. Yen Sushi is good too.

For views Lacock might be close enough.

This is a good shout too.
 
You're falling over good places to eat and drink in Bath. The Roman Baths are interesting, but they're mega busy. Pump Room is something different if you want an Afternoon Tea, expensive though!

Whereabouts in the Cotswolds? It's a big area. Bourton is quite a drive from Bath, about an hour and half. Tetbury and Cirencester are nice and a bit closer. There's more in Bourton in the way of touristy stuff though.

If you're a real foodie, check out Daylesford Farm Shop. Again, it's very pricey (spot a theme here?), but top quality.

Loads of pretty places dotted around there, it's a lovely region.
 
Nice, thanks for the suggestions guys. I've put them forward to the people I'm going with along with notes about busyness/pricing. One of them is going back to Singapore at the end of the month and he wanted to explore the UK outside of London and so myself and a few others decided on Bath and Cotswold as he is incessant on going somewhere scenic. As for Cotswold, I think I will just stick to Bourton because having done a quick search it seems to have everything we are looking for.
 
Traffic can be really bad going into Bath if you're driving, particularly from the A4/A46 side (you'll come this way if you're driving down the M4).

Sunday is probably better than Saturday, but something to be aware of and check before you get there. Might be worth using the Park and Ride. I've been crawling along London Road and it's not fun!

Bath wasn't built for cars :)
