Nicola here, celebrating the release today of the UK Romantic Novelists' Association latest anthology of short stories! Titled Truly, Madly, Deeply, it contains stories across the whole range of romantic fiction and I am very honoured to be a part of the project. You can check out more details about the anthology here and join our virtual launch party here! There are several other historical stories in the collection, including ones written by HWWs Louise Allen and Elizabeth Chadwick.
My own story, The Marriage Bargain, is set in a hotel in Bath. It was a lovely co-incidence that last weekend I was visiting Bath and so have been able to use some of my own pictures for this blog post!
The idea behind The Marriage Bargain was this : In December 1813, just before the Great Frost Fair on the River Thames, there was also a dreadful fog that enveloped the country. It was so bad that the Prince Regent was obliged to turn back from a journey he was making when one of his outriders fell in a ditch and his carriage almost overturned. This gave me the idea for the story of an estranged couple who are marooned together by the weather in a hotel in Bath.
Researching hotels in Bath in the Regency period was fun but information was difficult to find. The hotel trade was in its infancy in the UK in the early 19th century and people were more likely to stay in lodging houses or coaching inns. In London there are records of a number of hotels being established in the Georgian and Regency period; these include Claridges, which began as Mivart’s Hotel in 1812, and the Pulteney Hotel where the Russian Tsar stayed during the peace celebrations in 1814. The Pulteney was particularly famous for it’s flushing lavatories!
Bath at the end of the 18th century and the start of the 19th was still a popular place to visit but this 
very popularity had led to it losing its fashionable edge. Many of the nobility avoided it and instead it attracted the gentry and middle classes. Visitors to Bath had a choice of accommodation. Many families chose to rent houses for the six to eight weeks of the season. Others stayed in the many lodging houses in the city. These could vary a great deal in terms of respectability. This was from a diary of a Georgian young lady:
“We have lodging in Westgate Street: clean, but Aunt Ursula shocked to find notices of cock-fighting and a contest for breaking heads in the parlour.”
There was also a choice of very respectable hotels such as Christopher’s (pictured), The Pelican, where Dr Johnson stayed on a visit to Bath, and the York House Hotel. The York House was once the most famous and expensive hotel in the city. It stood on George Street, a short walk from the Upper Assembly Rooms and ideally situated for passengers coming into Bath by coach. It boasted fine rooms, good food and attentive service. A book written in the mid nineteenth century charts the decline in the hotel’s fortunes from its heyday in the Regency period:
“Who has not heard of the once-famous York House Hotel at Bath? There is not a family of any eminence – scarcely a family of any respectability in the south of England whose members have not slept beneath its roof. Bath has been shorn of its pristine glories and the hotel has only followed the general decline of the place…”
In contrast, Crosby’s Complete Pocket Gazeteer of England and Wales, published in 1815, extols the virtues of the 
city and its popularity, saying:
“Bath is become the principal resort of persons of rank” which is quite contrary to the general opinion of the time, which was that was the staid refuge of dowager ladies, invalids and retired military gentlemen.
The Gazeteer mentions the York House and the Christopher as the best hotel for families then lists various coaching inns including the White Hart. Louis Simond, an American visitor to Regency England recorded a stay at the White Hart in his diary:
“Two well dressed footmen were ready to help us alight… lights carried before us to an elegantly-furnished sitting-room… In less than half an hour five powdered gentlemen burst into the room with three dishes. Two of them remained to wait on us. I give this as a sample of the best, or rather the finest inns.”
Their bill for tea, dinner, bed and breakfast for three people was two pounds and eleven shillings. Interestingly the servants received no wages but only tips and the travellers gave them about five shillings per day.
These days the hotels of Regency times have been altered a great deal but it is still possible to stay in a Georgian townhouse and recreate the elegant experience of Regency visitors to the beautiful city of Bath. Here I am enjoying the two thousand year old Roman Baths, where we sampled the famous Bath spa waters at the Pump Room!
My congratulations go to all the contributors to Truly, Madly, Deeply and my thanks to the UK Romantic Novelists’ Association for making the anthology possible.
And now it's over to you:
If you could stay in any hotel in the world, what would you choose: An ancient coaching inn, Regency elegance in Bath or Brighton, an exotic beach location, or something completely different? I’m giving away a copy of Truly, Madly, Deeply to one commenter between now and midnight Saturday!
Hmm. I wouldn’t mind Regency elegance in Bath. I visited bath when I was eleven or so years old. I enjoyed it and I even have the postcards and guidebooks I bought, but I wasn’t old enough to really appreciate it. And who wouldn’t love a little Regency elegance in today’s world.
I would love to stay in a little B&B in London, preferably in Mayfair, and spend my days exploring London as a writer rather than a tourist.
This is a great post, Nicola! Going in the research notebook to be sure!

Bath is such a charming city, I love to visit. Thank you for all the information in your post about inns; the rates in Regency times sound most reasonable!!
My choice would be a Regency hotel in Bath, to really savour the atmosphere and dream of so many Georgian and Regency characters walking out of stories, as well as the real life folk of that era.

This post adds so much detail for a visit to Bath. I love the bit about the rates for three people for tea through to breakfast- it sounds very reasonable.

During my next trip to the UK, I am hoping Bath is on the itinerary. And of course, there has to be time in London. I’ve stayed in some lovely hotels there; my favorite was a one bedroom suite with Victorian-period decor. This was in the days when the internet was new and fantastic deals were available just on-line.
But this about fantasy hotels for me. I have always wanted to spend time in the Burj al-Arab, a suite only hotel in Dubai. The hotel is shaped like the sail of a dhow, almost entirely surrounded by the waters of the gulf. Although the decor is a little Arabian nights tacky, one of the panoramic rooms has a wonderful view of the Dubai city scape. There’s no check-in counter; that’s done in your room discretely. Pick-up from the airport is by Mercedes or a helicopter. There’s a spa as well as two indoor and two outdoor pools. It’s located on Jumeirah Beach, a favorite spot for vacationing expats. I was poking around their website and I found the following dress code for one of the bars: Smart Casual. Gentlemen are required to wear a collared shirt, full-length trousers or elegant jeans and closed shoes (no trainers or sport shoes). Ladies are required to wear a suit or dress, long or short skirt or dressy slack and top. UAE national dress is welcomed.

If I could stay in any hotel in the world, I think my first choice would be the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island. I’ve always wanted to go there, I am intrigued by the idea of an island without car!

The dream itinerary of my next trip to the UK definitively includes Bath and London. I’ve stayed in some lovely hotels in London, one with reproduction Victorian furnishings and decor. This was back in the days when the internet was new, and it had some fantastic deals.
As for a fantasy hotel, I’d select the Burj al-Arab in Dubai on Jumeirah Beach. The hotel is a soaring glass skyscraper in the shape of a dhow’s sail. It’s a major landmark on the Dubai skyline. The hotel is suite only and it doesn’t have a check-in counter; all that is done discretely in your room. They pick you up at the airport by Mercedes or helicopter. The room decor tends to be a little Arabian nights tacky, but I just drool over the panoramic suite, with a circle of windows around the bed with a glorious view of the Dubai skyline. Besides several restaurants and bars, there’s a spa and two indoor and two outdoor swimming pools. I imagine there’s silly rules about men’s/women’s/family swimming times to accommodate local customs but still four pools. Does it sound like I want a beach, pool and sunshine?

Gidleigh Park Hotel in Devon. It looks like it has old world ambiance with modern conveniences, as well as beautiful surroundings.

Silly me. I missed the part about UK RNA and was disappointed in amazon briefly.
I don’t know what hotel I’d enjoy. I always feel out of place in the ritzy ones but it’s sure nice to dream. I guess I am more the serene cabin with gorgeous mountain lookout, lovely trails and outdoorsy activities, and fabulous chef type than swanky hotel. Space to read, wander, breathe, eat, and be. Heaven. I would not want to be in a coaching inn – the noise, the shared beds, ugh no thank you.

I was actually reading about a few grand old hotels around Bath a few days ago – so I’m going to have to go with that!
I’ve been to Bath twice, both times in the middle of winter – once when it was covered in snow. Very pretty, but I’m thinking I’ll try for summer if and when I ever visit again!
I wish I could remember the name of the first hotel I stayed in. There were so many ghost stories attached to it everyone was to scared to go into their rooms on their own!

I would choose Regency elegance in Bath, I’m all about comfort. The ancient Roman baths are definitely a draw, I would love to visit them.

I love country house hotels in England, the ones which have comfort and warmth (essential) but retain the ambience of the country house lifestyle of the nineteenth and pre-War twentieth century. I’ve seen some lovely equivalents in Scotland mentioned in various places – I’d like to go and stay in one of them. For me, comfort is vital (and that includes good heating), but I prefer the country to the city.
That said, i do enjoy being in Bath and it would be fun to stay in one of the Regency buildings there. I tend to live in the past when I visit Bath, remembering various Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer scenes set there, so it would be good to stay somewhere which had Regency style inside as well as out.
I love the sound of your new story!

I tend to live in the past when I visit Bath, remembering various Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer scenes set there, so it would be good to stay somewhere which had Regency style inside as well as out.
I love the sound of your new story!
I love country house hotels in England, the ones which have comfort and warmth (essential) but retain the ambience of the country house lifestyle of the nineteenth and pre-War twentieth century. I’ve seen some lovely equivalents in Scotland mentioned in various places – I’d like to go and stay in one of them.

Thanks, Louisa! It was a fun post to write and research. Both your ideas for Bath and London are very appealing to me too. I wonder what it would be like to have as much time as you need to explore these places… I’d be there for weeks!

Hi Beth! Yes, I thought it sounded pretty reasonable for a good quality inn. I love that bed and breakfast was a recognised concept in those days too. You can really let your imagination loose on a trip to Bath, can’t you.

That does sound like a very appealing concept, Jane! I’ve looked Mackinac Island up – stunning. What a great location.

The Burj al-Arab Hotel sounds completely stunning, Shannon, and I love all the extra luxuries that go with it! Plus a bit of sunshine would be extremely welcome at the moment.

I love the combination of historic ambiance with modern luxury, Alison. Plus what a fabulous location – and a superb restaurant as well. That’s very important!

I would like to stay at The Stanley Hotel in Colorado. Many believe The Stanley Hotel is haunted but that wouldn’t stop me from staying there. It looks so beautiful.

I thank you for this post, learned so much. I believe I would love to stay at a Regency hotel in Bath. Preferably right down the hall from a Jane Austen character , any one of them would do.

Hi Dee! I don’t know if the paperback will have US and other release as well as UK but the stories are coming out in e-book. The historical bundle is out in April.
I’ve loved cabin holidays ever since I went on one in the mountains of Wales. It was blissful.

I’m with you on that, Sonya – I love old hotels but sometimes the ghost stories keep me awake at night! I’ve stayed in quite a few places like that. They were so atmospheric but my imagination went into overdrive!

While Regency elegance in Bath sounds wonderful, the history geek in me would love to do the ancient coaching in too (as long as I had access to modern plumbing).
We visited England several years ago and the trip out to Bath — including the day tour of Avebury, Stonehenge, Laycock and Castle Coombe — were a highlight that the kids (now young adults) still talk about! I would love to go back and spend more time wandering. 🙂

We stayed ihn a hotel or sort of bed and breakfast in a house in Bath. The visit was marred by the presence of a 12 year old daughter who instructed the people hoiw she wanted her eggs.
We stayed in a modern hotel in Brighton, in a old coaching inn that had been remodeled to provide modern amenities in Exmouth. in a hotel that still had chamber pots in the bedrooms in London, in a country hotel in Wales, in another in York. On that trip we stayed away from big full service hotels and went with more country inn types. We even stayed in a place in London that looked like a motel in the USA where the rolls at breakfast were hard enough to use as baseballs.
I don’t really care. I would take any place in England.
I do love Bath, though.

Lovely post, Nicola. I’ve stayed in several lovely places in Bath and would go back in a heartbeat, and while I’ve also visited Brighton several times, I’m thinking of setting a book there, so maybe Brighton is the place for me at the moment.
I have the first RNA anthology and it’s a lovely collection. Must get this one, too.
