"We had the most wonderful welcome ... staff couldn't have been lovelier and even gifted a Jane Austen pin badge as they knew it was my birthday.
The eloquent Mr Woodhouse gave us a thorough talk about Jane's family life and then we were free to explore the museum. Lots to see and dressing up regency style was a particular highlight!! The shop is full of Austen themed treasures to tempt you before you leave to follow the walk around Bath, discovering the places that Jane stayed in. A very memorable visit which I'd recommend to any Austen fans."
