We have had an amazing time at Emma & Sim's house in Exeter. We had great communication before, during & coming home too.
Their house is as lovely as it looks in the photos, plenty of room & we could each take our dogs to each others homes, which was great!
The house is spotless, but in a homely way. I loved the girls artwork & photos. We felt very comfortable there.
It is a great base to explore Devon & into Cornwall too.
Many thanks for a seamless swap!
Thank you all for leaving our home in an immaculate state - probably tidier than when we left!
Emma & family have treated our home with respect & care.
Would thoroughly recommend swapping with Emma & family.
Anne and Darren's home is a beautiful and cosy space, in a perfect location for exploring the local area. We had a fantastic stay enjoying their home and the many walks and attractions nearby including Dovedale, Chatsworth House, Ashbourne and Gullivers. Anne and Darren were brilliant hosts, and we felt so welcomed during our stay. The communication was great, with many recommendations for places we could visit and lots of information about their house.
Anne and Darren were brilliant exchange partners, they looked after our house perfectly! We would definitely recommend exploring a swap with them, we had a great experience.
