We’ve had 6 excellent exchanges so far and look forward to many more. We enjoy traveling, especially to sunny places with warm seas. We love eating, cooking, farmers markets, walking, cycling along the river Thames, live music, theatre, films, wildlife, gardening and going up to London to museums and galleries. There is so much to see and do here and we feel very lucky. We also have a new bungalow overlooking the sea in Ryde, on the Isle of Wight, which we love, and are happy to exchange that too. We are open to offers in Europe/ UK and look forward to hearing from you.

This time we had lunch with Fiona and Buster when they arrived at our house before we set off and it was lovely meeting them. Their flat is absolutely spotless and had everything you could wish for, we highly recommend it and we will hopefully be going back.

Fiona had been in touch regularly beforehand and given us all the information we needed, she even sent us a code which enabled us to get a discount on the ferry crossing. We enjoyed our stay so much we’ve already tentatively agreed another one for next year! Thank you.

Read More...Although we exchanged some time ago now. The house and garden were wonderful. Everything was as clean and tidy as a new pin. Fiona had left everything for our comfort including an excellent guide to her home and surroundings. The house was a pleasure to stay in. Fiona had made a list of her favourite restaurants, some of which we tried and were excellent. It was easy to get into London and the surrounding area had lovely walks with Hampton Court nearby.

Descripción de la casa que ofrecemos en intercambio
The bungalow is in a quiet close in Puckpool, between Ryde and Seaview, and is lovely and light with its own drive and parking. More photos to follow. There are beautiful sea views of the Solent and sun rises with a sunny garden, front and back. We have lots of birds, woodpeckers, robins, blue tits and blackbirds and a family of red squirrels who run around our huge oak tree, which we've called Rupert. It's been newly painted and carpeted and has a lovely new super comfortable king size bed, a second bedroom with a chair bed and a small double sofa bed. It's in a good position near Appley beach, walks, cycling, pubs, restaurants, bus station, and train station. Buses 8 and 3 are close by. The walk to the beach is easy going down but be prepared for the walk going back up. You can walk along the new pier walkway and watch sun set and the Hovercraft coming in. It has Wi-Fi, a Smart TV, an Alexa speaker, beach chairs, towels, mats and picnic bits for the lovely soft golden sand. There is always lots going on on the island. The closest car ferry is Wightlink to Fishbourne from Portsmouth (40 minutes), which is 10 minutes drive to the bungalow. You can also get a Red Funnel ferry from Southampton to East Cowes (1 hour), which is 20 minutes drive. Red Funnel gives better ferry prices and I may be able to get you some discount codes. You can get a train to Portsmouth and then either a Fastcat (22 minutes) or Hovercraft (8 minutes) to Ryde. The Isle of Wight is a great place to visit with lovely country walks, pretty villages and lots to do. It has beautiful light, sun rises and sun sets - it's a place people fall in love with, and I hope you will too.

Descripción de nuestro barrio y la zona en que se encuentra
Ryde is a great central point to visit the Isle of Wight. The beach is pure yellow sand and lovely to swim in. There are beautiful walks along the beach to Seaview and lots of individual independant shops and restaurants around Ryde. You can walk or cycle to Quarr Abbey, have a cream tea and feed the pigs and piglets. Our favourite spots are the Dell Cafe, where you can sit all afternoon by the sea in the sun, with coffee, lunch or Prosecco or specialist gins, Catch Restaurant, which has a balcony overlooking the sea and The Boathouse, which has good food and sea views. There are festivals, car shows, carnivals in Ryde and on the Isle of Wight, so always alot to do.

Dónde ir y qué hacer mientras se esté en nuestra casa
We have provided a book and leaflets in the flat with suggestions of restaurants, shops, maps and local information and things to do included, as well as information on how things in the bungalow work. There is so much to see and keep you busy on the island, parts of it are an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and even after 5 years we still have much more exploring to look forward to. We hope you will love it as much as we do.
