We had a wonderful break staying in Will and Rachel's beautiful Holywood home. The views across Belfast are stunning. We loved exploring the beaches around Belfast and found the many leaflets and maps that were provided to us very helpful. The home is large and spacious and the family are walm, friendly, welcoming hosts.

We have a wonderful stay over November half term. Rachel & Will left a lovely guide for us. The games rooms/basement and toy space was a big hit for the kids while we relaxed in the living areas. Lots to see locally such as w5, Titanic, Stormont estate, Ulster museum, Queens. Hollywood is a nice places with lots of cafes. Easy trip into the city. Thanks for a great exchange.

Très différent de chez nous, très dépaysant , superbe vue sur la mer et la ville, proches, magnifique lever et coucher de soleil , plaisir de vivre comme en pleine nature dans la véranda ,de s'endormir et se réveiller en voyant évoluer les oiseaux, les bateaux et les nuages. Agréable promenade au bord de la mer avec étape au Suitor's café très accueillant. Beaucoup de livres intéressants dans la maison .Merci pour ce très bel échange.

Thank You to Will and Rachel for helping to make our exchange to Holywood a memorable experience. For first-timers to Northern Ireland, the magnificent house and area set the tone for a great week. We were welcomed to the house by a tasty home cooked meal and provided with lots of information about the wider area , to plan excursions etc. The house ticked all the boxes for our family, with the children spending most indoor waking hours downstairs in the extensive games room, whilst the adults relaxed in the lovely living area with views of the large boats entering and exiting Belfast. There were plenty of bikes left for us all to see the greater Holywood area and beyond . It was argued that we may have come back from this exchange fitter than we arrived...and that would be a first ! Thanks to Will,Rachel and boys for a great exhange ...with great exchange partners. Best Wishes for the future, Michael,Niamh and Girls. Holywood is a lovely town, with an extensive coastal walkway and access to lovely coffee shops and restaurants . It is roughly midway between the City of Belfast and the large town of Bangor, both of which offered plenty of entertainment,shopping and historical options for us. The Antrim coastal driveway is very accesible and led us to some beautiful unspoilt beaches.
