We are retired in our late fifties and fortunately our time planning is flexible, so we can exchange pretty much when we want to. We have two grown up kids, who may on occasion be looking to join us for some or all or our holidays. Our children live in London and near Bristol so always open to exchanges in those areas.
We have been exchanging since 2000 and have enjoyed many exchanges and cultures throughout the UK, Europe and beyond. We enjoy walking, rural breaks and cultural sightseeing city breaks so will consider most offers seriously if the timing is right.
We also have a small yacht in Greece giving month long periods each year where we can consider non- simultaneous exchanges.
Since 2020 and following inspiration on a previous exchange we now have chickens that need looking after, 5-10 mins max per day in exchange for supply of eggs. We also now have a 3 year old cat, completely healthy and litter trained that will need feeding and litter cleaning daily. Zeus is 1/2 Persian and Bombay and very friendly.
The chickens have a light sensitive door so just need a once a day check, feed and clean. Zeus has a microchip sensitive door giving him timed controlled access to the great outdoors.

Read More...Thank you for agreeing to exchange with us. We had an amazing time. The kids were over the moon playing with Zeus, running in the garden and fetching the eggs from the chicken coup each morning. We loved roaming through the streets of the beautiful, old York during the day and gathering together around the roaring fire in the evening.

Read More...We loved our couple of weeks in Steve and Annie's home. We did yoga in the dream garden most mornings before we said hello to the chickens who are very sweet. Lots of wildlife and very tranquil. The house is very well equipped, cosy and well-loved. We made the most bikes cycling into York almost every day. We also explored the North York Moors and the stunning Robin Hood's Bay - we even got to swim in the North Sea - brrr!

Read More...The local bus takes you into the heart of York, or a short drive away is the Park and Ride. Home is very large and set in beautiful countryside. Lovely garden but unfortunately the weather wasn't quite warm enough to allow us to sit out, but it was perfect for walking around the Dales. Bed was very comfortable and the lounge was lovely, although we spent most of our time in the kitchen diner and tv/sitting room. Highly recommend this excellent home.

Degisim için önerdigimiz ev hakkinda
The house is a spacious 4 bedroom farmhouse conversion, original part of house over 250 years old, set in large gardens in village just South of York.
A 15 minute drive or a pleasant 30 to 40 minute cycle past fields and mostly on cycle track to central York.
We have a large garden with an orchard and lots of fruit bushes. You are more than welcome to help yourself to whatever is in season during your stay.
In 2017 we have dug a large pond in the garden attracting various wildlife including ducks and moorhens who both have nested there this year. Surrounding farm buildings have owls, bats and stoats.
We are now travelling as either a couple only or with 1/2 adult children depending whether our now working age kids are travelling with us or not.
We are looking for English exchanges for a week or so (especially in 2022) or longer exchanges worldwide, but especially europe.

Semtimiz ve çevremiz hakkinda
We live in a small village, quiet and rural with a large garden, yet just 3M to the nearest big supermarket and 5-6M to the historic centre of York, a short drive or gentle flat 30 minute cycle. The house itself is half of an old farmhouse with the original part of the house built in the mid 1600s. The house is ideal as a family base for exploring York and surrounding countryside and coast.

We have been exchanging for over 20 years now and like to think we offer a clean, well looked after home. We will take care of your home and treat it with love and respect.
We would ask that shoes are removed inside the house, any smoking takes places outside but apart from that just a general mutual respect to leave each other's home as we find them
