We are situated in the Regency Town of Cheltenham Spa which is known as the "Gateway to the Cotswolds". We are a 10-15 minute walk to the town centre where there are great shops and restaurants. There are two large supermarkets within a ten minute walk. Oxford, Bristol, Bath and Cardiff, as well as Shakespeare's Stratford, are all within a 90 minute drive and London is just over 2 hours away by either car and train. We live less than ten minutes walk to the train station where there are regular and direct trains to London and the rest of the UK. The picturesque Cotswold villages of Broadway, Bibury, Bourton on the Water and Stow on the Wold are all within a 45 minute drive away. Something about ourselves

We are Jody & Simon and have a 5 year old son called Reuben and a baby daughter called Floren. Simon is a University Lecturer and Jody is a Programmes Manager for a children's charity (but is currently on maternity leave) We enjoy travelling, eating out and spending quality family time together. This is our first home exchange as a family and we are really excited at the prospect of spending time in another country and other people enjoying our house as much as we do. ![]()
