We have lived and worked in Bath for 25 years, and our sons grew up and went to school here so we know the area well. We are happy to help you plan your trip or recommend places to visit. We live next door to The Old Workshop, and share our home with our dog, Inka, a black hovawart. She is very friendly but is our doorbell and may bark if there are people she doesn't know in the yard.
