Renewal Date: 19/Dec/2019
I have four adult children but will usually be looking for a place just for me and my partner. The Boundary is let commercially most of the time [hence the professionaly cleaning before and after you stay] so non-simultaneous exchanges will probably work better. As it is so large I would ideally be looking for either a longer stay in exchange for a shorter/midweek stay at the Boundary, or a high-season stay in your place in exchange for a low-season stay in mine - or, of course, an absolutely amazing location! We love the coast, at home or abroad. Sorry if this sounds prescriptive. Make us an offer ;)

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
The house is on the main road between the villages of Windermere and Bowness on Windermere (total combined population 7,000!) We are a 10-minute stroll from England's largest lake. The neighbourhood is a mixture of private housing and hotels/guesthouses. There is a wood within one minutes walk for exercising dogs [and kids!]

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
There are literally dozens of shops, restaurants, cafes, pubs and bars within a ten-minute walk. There is the aforementioned lake too - plus hills and views to die for. Most amenities are on your doorstep (medical centre only two minutes' walk away, for example) but it is possible to have complete quiet and get away from it all with very little effort - a two-minute stroll to Sheriff's Walk is all it takes, then follow your nose to the lakeshore.
