Our kitchen is a cook's delight with a rustic country feel, with its large stone floor tiles and hardwood kitchen tops. It may have a rustic feel, but its totally modern in use with a 5 burner range cooker, microwave, toaster, kettle and pretty much every utensil you'd ever need to prepare and cook up a feast. The kitchen is also home to Rosie & Goldie our two pet fish :)

The absolute perfect guests. Without asking did the laundry and the house was possibly cleaner than when we left,
Jodie’s family left our home clean and tidy. She stripped the beds as requested. Many thanks Jodie!
Jodie and family stayed at our home for two weeks this summer. They were lovely guests. Communication was easy from the start. They were very respectful of our home and took excellent care of it.
We can recommend an exchange with them and would be happy to welcome them back anytime.
Jodie and her family were perfect guests. Considerate with the house and our belongings, and always with reasonable requests. They left some crafts at home as a token of appreciation, which our children loved. It was a pleasure to have them in our home and share this exchange experience together.
We loved Amandas home it was so cosy and homely and lots of nice touches like dressing gowns and a lovely bath for relaxing in felt like a real treat
Great Ayton is a surrounded by beautiful countryside so lots of nearby walks and the seaside only 40 minutes way
The prefect getaway for me and my family
Thank you Amanda you were a wonderful host xx

Thank you very much for the lovely swap
Perfect guests in our apartment
A nice spacious 3 bed home in Santa Susanna.
The house has everything a family needs for a comfortable stay, well equipped kitchen, good sized living room, and comfortable bedrooms. The fans in the bedrooms were very much appreciated especially during the nights when it was regularly reaching 30C degrees. Having a few toys and games to play with our 5 year old was good and finding story books in English that we could read with him at night was a lovely surprise.
The area is quiet which was good, and the house is just a short drive from Santa Susanna beach and the main area. Travel from there into Girona and Barcelona itself was exceptionally easy via the train.
My only wish is that there there were more fans for cooling in the house, when we went it was hitting 41-42C outside which was stifling, especially when I was in the kitchen cooking.
Great guests, excellent communication before and throughout the exchange especially when we couldn't figure out the alarm and one of our teens left the house keys inside and managed to lock us out. Thank you to Maria and family for exchanging with us, it was a pleasure exchanging and meeting you.
A beautiful modern apartment in a really good area of Pamplona, it was bigger than we expected from looking at the pictures which as a good surprise. Big bedrooms and comfortable beds, were very welcome as was the air-conditioning for the hotter days. As a cook, I (Andy) really appreciated that kitchen had everything I could hope for and made cooking from home easy - no missing kitchen tools that i can think of.
While there we took full advantage of the surrounding area to go on walks and Alberto kindly let us borrow the families bikes, we even started teaching or son how to ride on his own, which was good fun.
The apartment is in a great area, lots of restaurants within strolling distance, Lidl a short trip down the road and even a patisserie on the corner downstairs from the apartment. Not visiting the patisserie on the corner on a daily basis did require some willpower! I can wholeheartedly recommend the croissants and pain au chocolats.
All in all a great stay in Pamplona, a lovely home to exchange in to and great people to exchange with. Thank you Alberto and family for exchanging with us!
Great guests, excellent communication before, during and after the exchange and very friendly. A great first exchange experience
