Very comfy home and quiet neighbourhood. Great rear garden sitting areas and bbq! Horbury has all that you would require for your stay. Great pubs and restaurants. Supermarket conveniently next block. Easy drive to the Dales. York is only a short train ride and well worth a visit. We enjoyed our short stay very much! Thanks Anne and Andrew =))

Read More...We were very fortunate to have had the opportunity to spend 2 weeks in Anne and Andrew's fabulous chateau (aka Gîte) in the Brittany France countryside near the historic town of Josslyn. It is a beautiful and spacious comfortable home with all the amenities one would need. Quiet and peaceful would be the best way to describe our stay. The nearby Midieval town of Josslyn is an amazing community to visit, enjoy the sights, castle and of course wonderful restaurants. A car is a must here as there are many things to do and see. We especially enjoyed our trip to the coast to walk about the red granite rock formations and historic beaches. Although we had a car, we were allowed to use the bicycles at the Gîte and did several tours in the surrounding area! A bit cold in late September, we still warmed to the local foods to warm our tummies! All in all this stay was one of our most treasured 2019 memories !

Kodinvaihtoon tarjottavan kodin kuvailu
Small semi detached house built at the beginning of the last century, approximately 1910. It has character features & high ceilings.
We also have a second home in Brittany France. This is a stone farmhouse in a rural location near to Josselin. It could be possible to swap both houses for a two centre holiday.
The house in Yorkshire comprises of lounge, dining kitchen, small conservatory, downstairs cloakroom / utility, cellar, stairs to two double bedrooms & shower room, further stairs to a loft room which is used as a hobby / tv room that has a single bed in it. There is a small front & back garden. The rear garden has a small patio with garden furniture & bbq & a small pond. Our car is not always available to use during an exchange.

Horbury is a small pleasant town with a village feel and is a safe & pleasant place to live. We have lots of amenities including shops, restaurants, cafes, pubs and a small park all only a minutes walk from the house. The nearby river & canal are great places for a stroll.
There is easy access to the major motorways that run north, south, east and west as well as access to public transport with a mainline railway station in Wakefield only 3 miles away. Here there are trains and buses to all the major cities.
Wakefield itself is a small city with a theatre, cinema, sporting facilities & the Barbara Hepworth Museum. Three miles away we have The Yorkshire Sculpture Park which is set in beautiful parkland and is a lovely day out.
By car it is only 20 minutes to the city of Leeds, the historic city of York is 40 minutes whilst London & Edinburgh can be reached in under 3 hours by rail. The National Parks of the Yorkshire Dales,Lake District & Peak District, the north -east & west coasts are within easy travelling distance for days out.
