We loved the house, it was super clean, tidy, beautiful decorated and spacious, perfect for children as they have a playroom and also de Home Ed Shed in the garden full of materials for crafting, my girl's paradise. The communication was amazing, we really made new friends even if it was sim and we couldn't see each other, but I felt like they are so much "people like us" and I hope we will meet in the future!!! We really recommend exchanging with them and discovering this part of England!!! -
Missy & Zoe were exceptional hosts. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at their well-appointed townhome, conveniently located near a bus station and just minutes from the train station. Their remodeled kitchen was a highlight, fully equipped and perfect for preparing a variety of meals. The nearby supermarket and fast food options, just a three-minute walk away, added to the convenience. Taunton, Somerset, is an excellent base for exploring the South-West region of England. During our leisurely three-week stay, we visited Bristol, Bath, London Paddington, and Reading using our BritRail London Plus Pass. Communication with Missy & Zoe was outstanding. They graciously accommodated our request to amend the exchange to a non-simultaneous one. We are especially grateful to Missy for giving us a ride to the Taunton Train Station, ensuring we caught our flight from Heathrow on time. -
How lucky were we to have Zoe & Missy offer us their home? Very lucky is the answer! We met them both prior to our exchange and knew instantly that not only would their beautiful home be perfect for us so would they as a couple and a family. Zoe, Missy, Willow and Luna are an adorable family and their home is wonderfully quiet, spacious and comfortable with everything you could possibly need to a fab home from home experience. We chatted lots before and during our stay and this has and we know will continue.. Taunton in Somerset is a lovely town and the location of their home is just perfect. We look forward to hopefully welcoming Zoe, Missy, Willow & Luna to our Funchal home sometime in the future. Thank you so much ❤️ -
Highly recommend this place (especially if you have kids)! Zoe and Missy are wonderful and very thoughtful, communication was easy and everything was very smooth. The house is spacious, clean and has a lot of toys. The Quantocks area is close by and was so beautiful for hiking or just strolling around.
