What a wonderful exchange!!
We had a fabulous exchange with Wilks family. We greatly enjoyed exploring Bristol and the surrounding area including Wells, Glastonbury, Bath, South Wales and the Cotswolds. There was no shortage of things to do and the Clifton area is lovely with many shops and restaurants in walking distance. Sam and Simon's home is beautiful and spacious and we also made great use of the table tennis in the back garden. They were very kind to leave all sorts of local foods for our arrival and the home was very tidy and beautiful. The communication was always excellent from initial arrangements to interaction during our stay and we highly recommend future exchanges with the Wilks family. Thank you again for a wonderful experience and we hope to meet up again in future. All the best, Kara, Kent, Kyle and Lauren

We are a family of 4. Simon came to study in Bristol and hasn’t left. We live in the city but it is really feels like a village . Everyone knows each other. We help with the regular community parties / festivals. I work as an occupational therapist for a local charity. Simon spends a lots of his time working in London. The kids are getting older too quickly, we are starting to be empty nesters, and will be traveling alone or with children. We love sports, theatre cinema all of which can be accessed a stones throw from our house.. We are keen to welcome anyone who wants to explore the wonderful place we call home.
We have completed fantastic swaps, to Berlin, Paris, Spain, Switzerland, Vancouver Island, Wales, and Dartmouth in the UK, and are looking forward to continuing to see the world.

Unser Heim
Beschreibung unseres Tauschangebotes
Our wish list includes exploration of Spain, France, Netherlands and Scotland but we could very well be tempted to other
destinations closer to home until the world gets back to normal.
Our home is a spacious 3 storey terraced Victorian town house in the beautiful area of Clifton in Bristol.
The house has a large kitchen/dining room/ lounge. it has become the heart of the house where the whole family can spend time together. The double doors can be opened fully to enjoy the patio and garden. At the front of the house there is a lounge/study with many original features, cool in summer and cosy in the winter.
On the first floor there are two bedrooms with vintage double beds. There is also a large shower room, with toilet on this floor.
On the 2nd floor is the master bedroom with a queen sized bed. Across the hall is a sunny bathroom with a roll-top bath.
We have lots of games for families, table tennis, and if necessary travel cot for smaller guests.

Nachbarschaft
Beschreibung unserer Nachbarschaft und Gegend
We are lucky to live in the very beautiful and historic area of Bristol a vibrant city in the west country. Bristol has been voted as the greenest, happiest, coolest city in the Uk to live or visit regularly in recent years, which when you come and stay will not surprise. Creative spirit and irreverence are part of its DNA.
During the summer months Bristol hosts almost weekly festivals: hot air balloon, music, food, dance, graffiti, boat, all on our doorstep. A fun city for kids of all ages.
We live in a great walking city which took the European green capital status in 2015, but be warned it is very hilly. We live off Constitution Hill well named for all walking up.
