Jane Austen / Accommodation and Lodgings

Accommodation and Lodgings

Bath & beyond offers a wide range of accommodation. Stay in a hotel or guest house located in the Grand Georgian terraces or enjoy a stay in the countryside surrounding Bath where Jane herself would often enjoy walking.

A visitor in the early Nineteenth Century said "lodgings are not only very numerous, but are distinguished for the elegance, convenience and comfort which they afford visitors", and the same could be said of the accommodation in Bath today.

Here are some of our favourite examples of lodgings today:

The 5 star Royal Crescent Hotel is located at the centre of the crescent which was built between 1768-75. To promenade in front of the Crescent was a popular pastime for Jane.

Dukes Hotel and the Kennard Hotel are both Georgian town houses located on Great Pulteney Street, Bath's longest and widest Georgian street.

Stay in the Jane Austen room at the Tasburgh House Hotel where you can enjoy spectacular views. If you prefer to stay in Self Catering accommodation Time 2 Relax Holidays offers apartments which fuse together Georgian chic with modern needs.

However Jane Austen was a rural girl at heart and if you enjoy the fresh air and countryside walks stay on a farm. The Beeches Farmhouse is an idyllic 18th century farmhouse located a few miles from Bath.
