Once home to Lady Fanny Nelson, who is known to have spent considerable time in Bath, especially after her marriage to Horatio Nelson began to deteriorate due to his affair with Emma Hamilton. Bath was a popular retreat for naval families and the gentry, offering healing waters, social opportunities, and a respite from London’s bustle. Historical accounts confirm that Fanny rented or stayed at 17 New King Street in Bath from approximately 1794 to 1798, during a period when Nelson was often at sea or between commands. This residence is noted in sources like *The Nelson Society* publications and Bath’s historical records, such as the *Nelson Trail* guide. After Nelson’s affair with Emma became public and their marriage effectively ended in 1800–1801, Fanny continued to visit Bath, often caring for Nelson’s father, Reverend Edmund Nelson, who wintered there to escape Norfolk’s harsh climate. She remained in Bath intermittently until at least 1802, when Edmund died, and even afterward, as she learned of Nelson’s death at Trafalgar in 1805 while in the city. New King Street, a Georgian terrace near the city center, was a practical and respectable address for someone of her status—a naval officer’s wife maintaining her dignity amid personal turmoil. This first-floor apartment offers a unique blend of history and comfort, making it an ideal base for those wanting to explore the beauty of Bath. With its impressive 11ft high ceilings, this apartment embodies the timeless charm of its Grade II Listed Georgian townhouse setting. The living room is the perfect place to relax after a busy day of exploring or to sit back and read a book, featuring a dining table for two, a record player to set the mood, and a TV for your entertainment. The kitchen offers everything you need to dine in, though many guests choose to explore Bath’s vibrant dining scene. The double bedroom ensures a restful night’s sleep. Beyond the apartment, the enchanting city of Bath awaits. Bath is renowned for its rich history, stunning Georgian architecture, and natural thermal springs.
You will be just a short stroll from some of Bath’s most iconic attractions. Bath Abbey, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture that has stood for centuries, and the picturesque Pulteney Bridge are all within easy reach. History enthusiasts will love following the Nelson Trail, which takes you on a fascinating journey through the city, shedding light on Admiral Lord Nelson’s life and connections to Bath. Immerse yourself in the city’s cultural heritage by visiting the iconic Roman Baths, where you can explore the ancient ruins and learn about the fascinating history of this remarkable site. Be sure to indulge in a visit to the Thermae Bath Spa, where you can relax in the natural hot springs and experience ultimate tranquillity. Stroll through the charming streets and discover a wealth of boutique shops, cosy cafes, and exquisite restaurants offering a diverse range of cuisines.
Whether you’re here for a weekend getaway or a longer stay, Lord Nelson’s Apartment provides a perfect blend of history, comfort, and convenience, all within walking distance of the city’s renowned landmarks. Ideal for couples, it’s the perfect place to relax and enjoy the timeless charm of Bath.
