We live just at the bottom of Gold Hill. The house is in a very picturesque street near shops but also near lots of wonderful countryside. The neighbourhood is welcoming and helpful. There are plenty of historic and artistic attractions nearby and many places specially set up to have a good day out with the children. There is a good range of different sorts of restaurants and pubs to eat in nearby. The spectacular Dorset coast is 50 mins away and London is 2 hours by train. Salisbury, Bath and Poole are all less than an hour away. Something about ourselves

Those who have exchanged with us seem to have been very happy staying in our house too. Accompanying us on holiday will be Ella(22), Leo (17) and Seth (14). ![]()
