Graham and Lesley were very pleasant throughout the preparation process and welcomed us in the best of ways into their home. Their thoughtfulness and generosity were admirable. I can easily say they were one of our finest exchange partners. They took very good care of our home and more than met all obligations. I highly recommend them to potential future exchange partners.
Janet and Declan provided a fine setting with their home for our tour of beautiful Ireland. All of the pre-trip preparations were handled easily and their home suited us well for our stay. They took very good care of our home and met all of the agreed upon requirements. They kept up good communication throughout the process and were lovely to exchange with. Thank you for everything.
A lovely exchange. A beautiful home in a quiet area. Lots of Information left for us as well as a lovely welcome pack. On our return our house was exactly as we had left it and everything in order.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and their home was prepared wonderfully for us. All instructions were clearly laid out with so much useful detail. Thank you for everything.
