Hello,
We've just done our first ever swap with a family in Normandy for 2 weeks through Switchhome. Its been great.. really relaxing.
We now really fancy doing one in the UK. Weve got a 3 bedroom semi detached house with a front and back garden, lots of baby&toddler equipment and toys for older kids too, playstation, dvds bikes etc. We're in a village close to Glasgow but v close to the Trossachs and Campsies as well with lots of country parks and walks nearby.
I know its short notice but we can only do July. We're looking for a toddler friendly place somewhere scenic preferably. If a week or two in July suits anyone please let me know.

Hi
We are possibly interested - i need to do school holidays so end of July might be possibility. Dh is from Edinburgh adn we keep saying we should go up and never get 'round to it - he always goes on his own! This sounds like the ideal way of making a family trip.
How is the public transport to and from your village?
We live in a town just outside Brighton - with lots of lovely walks, and countryside around as well as historical buildings, farms, zoos etc. Brighton is 10 mins by car, or a bus leaves every 15 minutes form the top of the hill, and the train station is 15 minute walk away - there is LOTS to do in Brighton!
We have a 3 bed semi in a cul-de-sac, very quiet and safe, a quick walk to town centre. We have a back garden and small front garden, bunk beds, single bed, cot and can get a travel cot if you needed it. Also got toddler stuff and big kids stuff (bikes, DVD's, Playsation, board games, books etc).
Lovely raised bath great for bathing toddlers as no back ache and a fAB shower .

Hi tummyt,
Actually we both fancy the South of England. There's a bus stop 5 mins from our house with buses going to Glasgow every 10-20mins. We also have a train station in the village about 20 mins walk away. Trains go in every 30 mins and it takes 10mins. You can go directly to Stirling from here. There's a play area v close to the house.
Email me for photos and details.
Cheers.
