Richard and Jo let us stay in their very comfortable, clean and cosy family home and made sure we had everything we needed to accomodate 4 children, even toys and table tennis. The house is in a great spot too, not far from shops and Shanklin beach. Thank you so much also for looking after our home in Weymouth and our pets so well. Claudia & family

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Our home is a detached house, with an emphasis on natural wood creating a pleasant warm ambiance.There is a fairly large flower filled, south facing, all season garden, with swings and benches for each compass point. We are 10 minutes walk from the beach and one minute from the cliff path linking Sandown and Shanklin, with its beautiful views over the Bay
We have two guest rooms upstairs; one with a double bed and the other with a double and a single
In the garage is a small gym with treadmill, bike, rowing machine, weights and bench plus two adult bikes. There are a number of toys for younger children, various beach items plus a large box of Lego
Situated on an island off the south coast of England, Shanklin regularly records the highest annual sunshine levels for the UK. Famous for it's popular sandy beaches and host of tourist attractions, the island is also a paradise for both walkers and cyclists with more footpaths per acre and more Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty then probably any other part of England, plus miles of cycle tracks and quiet country lanes.
We are just 3 hours door to door from London Waterloo via direct train to Portsmouth Harbour, with connecting ferry and local shuttle train to Shanklin. The most convenient airport for the Island is Gatwick, with its regular direct train link to Portsmouth Harbour
We are only now looking for exchanges in the UK
