There is 1 endorsement for this house swap member:
We enjoyed a super hospitality stay with Ian and Pam in Berwick. There home is very nice in a pleasant and quiet area and nothing was too much trouble in terms of making us feel welcome. When they came to our property in the UK, they were very considerate and a joy to socialise with. We highly recommend house swapping with Ian and Pam.
