Excellent contact avec cette famille adorable. Nous avons découvert une région pleine de surprises et avons passé de très agréables vacances.
Famille très agréable et accueillante avec laquelle nous avons pu échanger afin de préparer cet échange. La maison est bien située, dans un quartier calme , à quelques minutes en bus de l'animation de Bristol.
Mel, Dave et leurs enfants sont très chaleureux. Leur maison est grande et confortable; leur jardin est un havre de paix très fleuri et ombragé. Quand nous sommes arrivés ils nous avaient mis à disposition toutes les informations touristiques et des idées de balades à faire aux alentours de Cardiff. Leur maison est située à proximité du bord de mer ce qui est parfait pour de multiples promenades avec une vue magnifique sur la mer. Penarth est un ville très agréable et vivante. Nous conseillerons aux familles cette destination car il y a à la fois de belles découvertes naturelles et culturelles. Nous avons passés de belles vacances et nous conseillerons à tous les amoureux des grands espaces et de la culture celte un échange au Pays de Galles chez Mel et Dave. A notre retour notre maison était parfaite, nos voisins ont été ravis de faire leur rencontre. Nous avons un chat et des poules qui remercient également Mel et Dave pour avoir bien pris soin d'eux.

We are a professional couple (a lawyer and a counselling psychologist) with two children aged 13 and 11.
We enjoy being outdoors - walks in the woods, playing on the beach and trips to the park. We are a sociable family and enjoy catching up with friends over a good meal.
We are very good house guests and will treat your home as our own.
We also love looking after any pets you may have, and we have looked after many pets on our previous exchanges.
