Read More...We had great pleasure lodging in your cosy home, evening drinks and suppers on the terrace and sleeping in the extremely comfortable bed. Lurking in Chippenham meant that we were within easy reach of many interesting places – the delightful architecture of Corsham and Castle Coombe (great for upmarket coffee in the Manor House) , Laycock (home of the polymath MP, Henry Fox Talbot), Devizes (where the first UK telephones were invented), to say nothing of the stunning setting in Malborough. We enjoyed some downtime by the river in the “Grounded” bar in Chippenham a number of times. The Holborne Museum in Bath was very educational, with the Canaletto Exhibition and the collection of interesting stock portraits, especially in these times of curiosity about wealth sourcing and philanthropy. Thank you again for your warm hospitality and clear and friendly communication, Marcus and Deb

Read More...A perfect exchange, what more could you ask for. Hayley and Leyton are excellent hosts and brilliant exchange partners, happy to keep in touch before and during our swap. Their home home is great with everything you could need. Located in a lovely area and within walking distance to the local town and train station. Lots to see nearby and we spent many days visiting local villages, their hostelries and spending the evening relaxing at "home". Bath is only about 40 mins away by car and spent a nice day there touring on the open top bus. Would happily return for another visit. Thank you Hayley and Leyton

Description de notre maison d'échange
Will consider UK swaps for school holidays in 2022.
Hello! I'm Hayley and my husband is Leyton and we have a 17 year old boy and 15 year old girl. We are interested in swapping in the UK only during school holidays.
We live in a clean and very well presented 4 bedroom house in Chippenham, Wiltshire, which is a small, peaceful town sandwiched between Swindon to the East and Bath to the West.
Master bedroom has a Superking bed and an en-suite shower room.
My son's room is a double size room with a single bed, a freeview TV, netflix, xbox and PS4. My daughter's room is a double size room with a single bed with TV and netflix. We have a family bathroom on this level, a study and a further bedroom with a king-size bed and TV with sky and netflix.
Downstairs comprises a lounge with HDTV, Netflix, Sky HD channels, downstairs cloakroom, further computer. The kitchen has a washing machine, tumble dryer, dishwasher, gas cooker, microwave, full size fridge/freezer.
The kitchen leads through to our dining room. Off the dining room is our gym. We have a weights bench, LifeFitness machines comprising running machine, cross trainer and bike. Outside, we have a large patio with tables and chairs, a nice enclosed garden at the rear with a double swing. We have Weber gas BBQ on the patio area. Our house is child friendly and is in a very quiet cul de sac. We are a 15 min walk to the town centre, and 15 minute walk to the train station. You get to Bath with a 10 minute train journey, Bristol in about 20 minutes on the train, and Swindon in the opposite direction in 15 minutes.
