We are a family of 4 with 2 boys aged 13 & 8. We enjoy travelling and exploring new places which is why we love house swaps so much! We haven't done a vast amount of house swaps due to other commitments, but the ones we have done have been really fabulous, enabling us to visit some great places and learn about other cultures. We got a new addition to our family in last year - a Labradoodle called Rosie. She is a very well behaved dog who will either accompany us on our travels or stay with family.
We are bound to UK school holidays (please see dates) and are looking for house swaps within these dates and locations for 2021. We often travel to our house swap destinations by car, taking everything but the kitchen sink with us! However, as the boys are growing up, we are keen to do some city house swaps too, so will be travelling much lighter and possibly by train/aeroplane. After the last 18 months we are also keen to get something in the diary for 2022, so if you fancy visiting the Lake District and getting out on the mountains and lakes, then do get in touch - its a beautiful place and we know so many wonderful places to guide you to on our swap. Thanks Kerry & Glyn

Read More...We have changed houses for many years now. But this swap was one of the best. The Howarthfamily made us feel welcome in their cozy and warm house. Kendal is an interesting old, quiet, not touristic, green town which surprised us every time we visited the centre. In August takes a music festival place in Kendal and surrounding places. We felt very lucky to be able to visit one of the concerts. The Lakes are astonishing beautiful. We made many walks and every walk was different. Even in this busy part of the country it is not difficult to get away from the crowds. Kendal is situated in between Lakes and Dales. If you love outdoor holidays this is the perfect location. HIghly recommended! Lettie & Fokko and friends

Mistä tykkäämme ja mistä emme ... Tässä tottumuksimme ja kodimme säännöt.
We love the cultural exchange aspect with house swaps - we get to live in your environment for a short time and for us this provides a much richer experience than staying in a hotel! We always make sure our house is left tidy and clean for when you arrive as we're sure you do too.
