Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

We already have a swap for Summer 2024 but are open to offers for other times.
We live in a spacious 4 bedroom detached house in a large, friendly village called Dinas Powys only 15 minutes' drive or train ride to Cardiff, the capital of Wales. We have a large front and huge back garden, which is a real sun trap, with outdoor dining, a sofa area, children's toys, swings, a climbing frame, gymnastic bars, slide, playhouse, and a 10ft trampoline. We have a lovely very large kitchen with lots of space for cooking and relaxing together.
We have two double beds, and two single beds as well as a fold out single bed. Our bathroom downstairs has a shower and bath, and we also have a double shower cubicle upstairs.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home

There is something for everyone in our area as we're ideally situated close to the city, but also the beaches and mountains. Cardiff has so much to offer for culture vultures; several theatres and concert venues, museums, Cardiff Castle.
For sports we have plenty of pools and leisure centres in the area, the Millennium Stadium, a water sports centre, an ice rink, plenty of golf courses and tennis courts.
For children there are lots of organised events in Cardiff throughout the summer, as well as several cinemas, play centres, pleasure park at Barry Island beach.
Cardiff boasts excellent shopping centres as well as quirky shopping arcades and Cardiff Bay has much to offer in the way of relaxation including many restaurants and cafes, boat rides. It's a great place to hang out and watch the world go by.
There are plenty of beaches to visit in the area, and we're only 1h from the Brecon Beacon mountains and Bristol, and historic Bath only 1.5 hrs, and London is 2 hrs away by train.

Our Preferences

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules

We take a pride in looking after our house and would do the same in yours. Equally we would expect you to respect our lovely home and keep our cat, Bridget company! She has a cat flap and comes and goes as she pleases. She needs feeding, and to be given her meds and a few cuddles. We're happy to reciprocate with pet care and/ or looking after the garden.
