Two ex-rugby players have put their homes on Airbnb, an online community for people to list and rent accommodation.
Ex-Wales international Gareth Thomas has made his Welsh home available for rent and England World Cup winner Lewis Moody has listed his Bradford on Avon property.
Gareth’s three-bed home is located in St Brides Major, near Bridgend, and sleeps up to six people.
Guests can book the house for £150 a night, and any money made will be donated to the charity, Childline.
On the website, Gareth said: “It has a very natural feel to it with wooden beams and stone features throughout.”
“I’ll be there to welcome you on arrival and to give you a tour of the house and I’m still able to throw a ball around so I’m up for a 'kick about' at Bridgend RFC (my first professional club) if you are?
“I should also warn you that my mum might also be there as she likes to give people a tour of her ‘Gareth shrine’. Don’t ask.”
Gareth did however warn that England rugby shirts will not be allowed.
Lewis’ four-bed property sleeps up to eight people and is located close to Bath Rugby’s stadium.
In his advert, Lewis said: “We have a beautiful and spacious family home situated in the historic market town of Bradford on Avon with a garden complete with rugby posts and plenty of rugby balls for kicking practice.”
“I’d even be game to give my guests a few rugby pointers.”
Airbnb was founded in August 2008 and offers accommodation in over 35,000 cities.
