Read More...A public thanks for all the work you put into making your home available to us. We had a lovely visit to Scotland in the summer of 2015 and have many fond memories of the wonderful places we were able to visit. We love history and there was a lot of it here. No detail was left undone. All our questions were promptly answered. I enjoyed getting to know the chickens and looking after them. Fresh eggs were an extra treat. The only disappointment is that we did not get to meet you in person. Hope you have many more wonderful exchanges.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
We split our time between our main home in Glasgow and Bath when time permits in our busy schedule. Our apartment is a beautifully designed space right in the heart of Bath city centre. You couldn't wish to be better located to explore all that Bath has to offer, with celebrated historical and cultural attractions on your doorstep and surrounded by shops, restaurants and bars. We love strolling the ancient streets at any time of day to see Bath as the city wakes up and goes to sleep! There are coffee shops, cafes and restaurants to suit every taste and budget: we particularly like 'Henry's' that offers a fine tasting menu and the 'Beckford Bottle' shop where you can enjoy small tapas style bites with a lovely glass of wine. Bath is also full of luxury shops that exude charm and where you can find almost anything. There are museums and galleries to enjoy as well as the world famous Roman Baths. There is a small intimate cinema at the end of the street and a theatre a few minutes walk away. The Thermae Spa, also at the end of our street, has a roof top swimming pool so you can enjoy splendid views of Bath. Away from the city centre you'll be able to enjoy tranquil walks along the canal or up to the "Bath skyline" where you'll soon be in stunning countryside without even having to get in the car.
Our apartment has high speed wifi, a smart TV, a washer/dryer and instant hot water. There is a fully equipped kitchen where we enjoy cooking an informal supper, a large fridge and freezer and a dishwasher.
Whilst we don't have the privilege of having a garage, there is a secure car park a few minutes walk away.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Bath is a UNESCO World Heritage site and traces its history back to Roman Britain as evidenced by the Roman Baths that remain intact to this day. The Georgian splendour of Bath has to be seen to be believed and the Royal Crescent is a stunning example of this era of architecture. Number 1 Royal Crescent is a museum of Georgian life that recreates the splendour of this period through the interior of a restored apartment. Royal Victoria Park, a short distance from Royal Crescent, provides a large green tranquil space. There are two art galleries in Bath to enjoy. The Mary Shelly museum charts the time in Bath of the author of Frankenstein whilst the Jane Austin museum looks at the life of one of Britains most famous authors whilst she was resident in Bath.
Bath Abbey has a long history and is the meeting place for the Bath Ghost Walk which will transport you back to Bath's sinister past where you will even get the chance to try and photograph some paranormal activity! There are also many 'regular' walking tours to enjoy.
