Our Preferences

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules

We love the Houseswap philosophy and pretty relaxed about everything, knowing we are swapping with like minded people. From an early swap, we were asked if we would n't mind taking off our outdoor shoes when entering and stripping the beds and putting the sheets in the wash/dry before leaving, and have continued with this because it seems to makes things so much easier when it's time to clean up and seems to work for everyone, if you are Ok with this. We have never had a problem with any of our swaps. We tend to leave milk, bread, eggs, mushrooms etc for a meal/breakfast, fresh fruit and a bottle of wine for your arrival because over the years, we have found this works rather than us both trying to second guess what we both might like, taking in to account any special dietary requirements. Please please help yourselves to anything in the cupboards and make yourselves at home. Sorry. No smoking allowed.
