Read More...Just back from a great stay in Donna and Ben’s lovely home in a great location in Market Harborough- a lovely market town with good dining options and independent retailers. The location was ideal for short spins to other villages and towns nearby - but also for longer trips taken to London (by train) , Royal Leamington Spa and Stratford upon Avon. We were lucky to be in the area for the Kelmarsh Country Show which was held in glorious sunshine on Easter Sunday and Monday. Communication with the Family was super ,both before and during the exchange and we were lucky enough to meet briefly with them on our return as we crossed paths in the airport. Thanks Donna,Ben,Isaac and Elise for a memorable stay that we will always remember.

Read More...We have spent a wonderful week in your house, which is very convenient. It has all facilities suitable for families and is close to the town centre. During this week we visited lovely cities like Birmingham and Conventry, went to the football in Leicester, walked through beautiful parks in Coombe and Stanwick. The children also loved playing with all the toys in and outside the house. You are a lovely family and we are thankful for the way you have taken care of our house and our pets. We wish you a lot of nice exchanges in the future! Katleen, Tim, Floor and Jasper
