As for Bath, it's got a University, a College and 5 million tourists a year. I think there's a fair chance you can find anything from a room in a B&B* up to £1500 a night in the royal Crescent Hotel... I know people who have haggled decent repeat rates out of the hotels along Gt Poulteney St.
Public transport is horrible and the traffic is appalling, so be careful about location
*There's one I pass regularly called "Nessum Dorma". I always wonder if the owners can speak Italian...Blog? What blog...?Comment

I've never known a client to pay for accomodation when I've worked away from home, or even to have considered it. They'd just hire someone local instead. Unless you had unique skills and they were based in a really inaccessable place, I suppose. But that doesn't really apply to Bath, does it?Comment

But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

However, I've done gigs where I invoiced my day rate plus explicit accomodation costs, I've done them where I've upped my rate to cover it invisibly and I've done them where the rate was set, take it or leave and so paid accomodation out of the gross. None of it has anything to do with IR35.
Also don't forget if you're working for a big company, they'll most likely have a deal with a local hotel or three that saves you both some wedge.Blog? What blog...?Comment
