We had a great time in Ali's home. This is the second time we've been to Cheltenham and this time we took the opportunity to see some Cotswolds destinations. What a lovely few days! Ali did a helpful diary on Cotswolds visits on Insta and offered lots of ideas of things to do. I had the bonus of meeting Ali and Tim at a Dublin meet up, and the even bigger bonus of briefly meeting their family on arrival at our home. It was a pleasure to spend time in their home surrounded by plants and peace. Ali's home was on my bucket list for quite a while and did not disappoint. I also thoroughly enjoyed staying in touch via text, photos and voice notes and the communication made the exchange smooth and simple

You can't beat the location of this home. Cheltenham is a lovely town, very near all the fabulous Cotswold villages and sites. It was easy to get in and out of town for our adventures. Communication with Ali was terrific. She was responsive before and during our stay. Thank you for sharing your home.

We enjoyed our two week stay at Ali and Tim’s home. Ali was warm, helpful, and a great communicator throughout. Their terraced house is cosy, with everything we needed for our stay. We appreciated the thoughtful touches like the garden produce, digital radio, magnifying mirror and the fans were a welcome relief when the temperature reached 32° C ( 90°F) 🥵 Their garden was a lovely spot for morning coffee, and we especially enjoyed watching the local homing pigeons circle overhead in the evenings. The location was ideal, an easy walk or quick bus ride into beautiful Cheltenham, with plenty to explore in the Cotswolds and beyond. Thank you, Ali, Tim and family for sharing your home with us 😃🌼

We had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay in Ali and Tim’s home in Cheltenham. It was in a great location for visiting all over the Cotswolds. Ali left room for us in the kitchen cupboard and fridge and space in drawers so we could settle in easily. Ali is a great communicator and answered any queries we had also leaving plenty of literature on things to do. Thanks guys for opening your home to us via PLU. Ps they have a great outdoor cabana.

Ali’s home is well situated on the outskirts of Cheltenham and within easy reach of several beautiful Cotswold villages which were at the top of our must see wish list. We had a relatively short stay so didn’t get to visit much else in the area unfortunately Communication with Ali before and during the exchange was great and that made us feel very comfortable with her family during home swap.

It has always been a dream of mine to see the Cotswolds. When Ali kindly and generously offered her home to us for a non-reciprocal exchange, she made my dream come true ❤️. Everything was prepared perfectly. We felt very welcomed. Their home is comfortable and spacious for our family of 4. We stayed during the summer and was able to help water their large veggie garden and potted plants. Ali even left a list of what was ready to pick and eat. The Cotswolds are so dreamy and one of our favorite places that we explored in England during our 1 month here. It's a must-see. The homes are so cute! There are several small towns and villages scattered throughout a 90-mile long area. You definitely need a car here. Ali's home right is the PERFECT jumping-off point for the Cotswolds. Cheltenham is also a cute town with some really beautiful buildings. It offers everything you would need - good grocery stores, playgrounds for kids, easy to fuel up your car, shopping, etc. Ali's home is close to it all. Communication was easy. Ali even gave us some helpful tips for our next destination in London. We interacted on the PLU Facebook group before any arrangements were made and even got to video chat a little during a PLU group Zoom chat. Thanks for a fab stay! We hope our paths will cross again in the future 🙂

We had a great time at Ali and Tim's home. It's not far to the centre of Cheltenham and a good base for exploring the Cotswolds. There's a brilliant park about 15 minutes walk away with a fantastic playground, great for our kids. Food shops are very close by. Their home is comfortable and homely with a nice enclosed back garden and a lovely cabin so you can eat in the garden but undercover.

We didn’t get to meet Ali and her lovely family till after the exchange was completed as we were overseas . They are a really nice family who left our holiday home in excellent condition and we wouldn’t hesitate to host them again if they come back to NZ sometime in the future. We realised our reciprocal visit to Ali’s house was not going to happen in the foreseeable future so Ali very kindly agreed to let my niece and her son use her house instead of us and this is Lisa's review: We’ve thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend in your lovely home. To find a welcome basket complete with dog treats was absolutely fab. Your home is very welcoming clean and comfortable with everything you could need as a guest. We can’t thank you enough, it’s been a beautiful hot weekend spent in a lovely home,conveniently located.
