Yorkshire House Swap

[NotAnOtter]

We have a lovely house in West/North Yorkshire and would love to go to Scotland or Wales or anywhere really-

We need 5/6 bedrooms and have 6-8 bedrooms to offer

Our house is in an affluent town - has plenty of restaurants including one widely acclaimed as one of Mr Ramseys favourites

Marco Pierre -White started out working at a restaurant here which is still widely acclaimed although he has moved on. The current 'waiter of the year' 2008 works at the said restaurant!!

Our town was a victorian spa town has beautiful moorland and river.Plenty to do for children and adults alike. A theatre and victorian lido compliment the natural beauty of the town as do the summer continental fair and autumn literature festival.

Bronte country is nearby as are Leeds and Harrogate

The town has the reputation of being the 'second most expensive place to live outside london' which although annoying - means it is quite nice!

The house is big and I would welcome more than one family at once - sort of re unions or joint family holidays.

Any offers considered! Feel free to quiz me further no obligation of course!

Yorkshire Dales anyone?

Hello, we could be interested, depending on when you would like to swap. Ours is an 8 bed house near the Somerset coast. We don't live there but holiday let it usually. It's been refurbished within the last 6 months. Let me know what time of year you are thinking.

[NotanOtter]

Well anytime really

Summer would be nice or spring bank

Hi - it's a long shot, but I'm from ilkley and go back every 6 months or so to visit family, we have a 2 bed house in Greenwich so I guess a house-swap is out of the question but I wondered if you'd consider letting it to us while you're away?! Thanks very much

Hi _ we live in Edinburgh but our house is only 4 bedroom, too small for you ? it is a Victorian terrace in Morningside so is a good area - close to centre - good bus routes etc Lots to do here - no problem if not enough rooms !

[RiaParkinson]

will talk to dp Wrongside - sounds nice when were you thinking?

[wrongsideof40]

Wasn't really thinking of anytime in particular - Easter maybe - quite a good time here - it's a bit warmer and the Science Festival is on for 2 weeks, summer ? open to offers !

hi all
if your into the idea of saving some cash and grabbing yourself a holiday at the same time... you may want to chech out a new holiday house swapping website which focuses on the UK only. It's called ukholidayswapshop and it looks like it may be something to consider esp given the present economic climate.

[RiaParkinson]

thankyou daisychain i will do that now!

[ALWgreenwich]

hi RiaParkinson - are you still there? We're looking for somewhere to have a family get-together in Ilkley this year (2010) - we'd like room for 3 families - so potentially there's a 2 bed flat in central Barcelona, a 6 bed house in French Pyrenees or a 2 bed house in Greenwich you could swap with?? Would that be of interest?
