We are a family of four and have enjoyed many successful exchanges over the last few years, including Bruges, Venice, Vancouver, Galicia and Berlin. We have a tabby cat, Molly, who has been one of the most popular aspects of our previous exchanges! We would be happy to look after your pets.

Read More...We really enjoyed our stay in Harrogate, at the Colbourn's home. They have a lovely home, exactly as stated in their listing. The beautiful town of Harrogate is an easy walk from the house - where one can find all sorts of shopping and sites. In addition, Harrogate is a great base from which to explore the Yorkshire area. We spent time driving through the Yorkshire dales and villages, as well as visiting some cities. York and Leeds airport are close by. Rachel and Mark were easy to talk to and always available for any communications we might have. The neighbors were friendly and a Colbourn family member brought us homemade baked goods to welcome us,"Fat Rascals" look it up:-) The Colbourn's home was a wonderful place to stay!

Read More...We had a brilliant time in Yorkshire. The Colbourn family home is beautiful and very peaceful. Their cat Molly is a wonderful host. We had a very warm welcome, including some very special treats by a family member. We felt very spoilt. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this wonderful setting. It was also a great starting point to explore Yorkshire. We particularly loved the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Fountains Abbey and the charming town of Knaresborough. The weather was a bit changeable and we would love to come back another time to get more opportunities for walks/hike in the Yorkshire Dales.

Beschrijving van het huis dat wij aanbieden voor ruil
We are a family of four and live in a lovely, 110-year-old house which has many original features. Our eldest daughter is now at University but we love travelling together, discovering new and unusual places. We have had nine successful home exchanges to date including Venice, Vancouver, Berlin, and Galicia. We enjoy islands or being near a river or the sea. We also like mountains, walking, museums, history, and city life and are open to all offers.
Harrogate is a beautiful town and is frequently chosen as one of the best places to live in England. We are a 10-minute walk from the town centre and have beautiful countryside and historic castles, abbeys and stately homes on our doorstep. We are also half an hour from Leeds and York. If you'd like to use our home as a base for visiting bigger cities, we are a 10-minute walk from the train station. Harrogate is under 3 hours from London by train and 5 hours from Edinburgh. Car exchange is negotiable. All our visitors have loved Yorkshire and we are sure you will too.
Mark and I have worked in education for over 20 years and make the most of our holidays. We have a lovely, gentle tabby cat who just needs feeding twice a day but will love sitting on your lap whenever you are free. We are happy to look after your pets and plants.

Onze tips voor leuke activiteiten en uitjes bij ons in de buurt
Nearby are the national parks of the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors with stunning countryside and ample opportunities for walking, cycling, climbing, etc. If you visit during the summer, there are country shows, working farms and many other places for families to visit. 22 miles away is the world-famous ancient walled city of York, with its Viking and Roman remains. We are also only 28 miles from Howarth where the famous Bronte sisters lived. 15 miles away is the World Heritage site of Fountains Abbey, encompassing the largest abbey ruins in the country and some of England’s most spectacular Georgian water gardens. There are many castles and stately homes to visit in the area, including Harewood House, Newby Hall, and Ripley Castle. A short journey could take you to Whitby, a fascinating port on the coast, the renowned Yorkshire Sculpture Park or into the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
11 miles to Leeds/Bradford International Airport
1 and a half hours from Manchester Airport.
2.5 hours to London or 3.5 hours to Edinburgh by train.
