Thought the group might be interested in this.

I have just spent the night in Ada Lovelace’s honeymoon suite.

Also the granddaughter of Lord Byron. I never knew that.

Very nice 4 poster and it should be at £249 a night!

Sure you did, gricer.

She was Lord Byron's daughter.

Byron separated from his wife a month after Ada was born and left England forever. Four months later, he commemorated the parting in a poem that begins, "Is thy face like thy mother's my fair child! ADA! sole daughter of my house and heart?"

I have just renamed my spare bedroom the Oscar Wilde Suite. Available for just £450 per night. He definitely did live there, done extensive research.

PS Virginia Woolf did actually live within walking distance of me. Don't think I've ever met her though.

£249 a night ... didn't realise Travelodge was around in the days of Byron and Lovelace

According to a quick Google search, Ada Lovelace had her honeymoon at Ashley Combe (near Minehead):
Exmoor - Ada Lovelace (exmoor-nationalpark.gov.uk)

That building is now just rubble:
MSO7970 - Ashley Combe House, Porlock - The Historic Environment Record for Exmoor National Park (exmoorher.co.uk)

So, it's unlikely that anyone is renting out her old room.

I did also find a hotel in Durham with an "Ada Lovelace suite" (which I'm deliberately not linking to). However:
a) It was just named after her, and not where she spent her honeymoon.
b) It doesn't contain a 4 poster bed.

Mmm, Linda Lovelace sounds interesting, wonder what her ghost charges for a ***.
