Interested in a house swap? We are located in Lancashire, England close to 3 National Parks and are interested in home exchanging with others in the USA, Australia or Europe, or anywhere civilised for that matter – tempt us.


Our small quiet village is located on the West Pennine Moors (often referred to as “The Little Lake District”) and includes many beautiful walks only 5 minutes away. We are ideally situated for many of the National parks within the UK (Yorkshire Dales 30 minutes, Lake district 60 minutes, Peak district 60 minutes). Manchester is only 30 minutes away and has many theatres, restaurants and other cultural experiences. Excellent walking within 10 minutes drive and there are many picturesque areas to visit all within less than an hours drive, from Bronte country to exploring the Yorkshire dales. Ideally situated for house swap or home swap.

We are both retired and love to travel. Our aim is to travel at least 6 months a year. Whilst the USA and Europe is our main travel destination, we also fancy trying Australasia and could easily be tempted by any civilised area. Being retired we are flexible on time and would gladly consider areas like Park City Utah, Sedona and Tucson for long term swaps.


  • Our lounge's view of Pendle Hill with the peaks of the Yorkshire Dales in the distance. Pendle Hill is famous for the witches of Pendle and the trials – similar to the Salem witches. At the end of a tiring day it is just great to sit in the lounge or garden with a quality German beer or a glass of red wine and watch the grass grow. An ideal house swap location.
  • As well as stunning views the family room has the benefit of flat screen TV, Satellite, DVD, hard disc video recorder, Hi-Fi, WiFi along with His iMac and Her iPad computer system.
  • The floors are solid Oak and this room leads onto the dining room.
  • The dinning room, which also has the benefit of solid Oak floors, has a table for 6 and can be extended to seat 8 or more.
  • The kitchen and hallway also feature solid Oak floors and the kitchen has just been remodelled in solid American Maple with granite worktops, complete with multiple ovens, gas hobs, washer dryer, dishwasher and large American fridge freezer.
  • The master bathroom features both bath and shower.
  • Whilst the master bedroom features large wardrobe, sitting area, TV and en-suite bathroom.
  • Master Bedroom
  • The en-suite bathroom has just been remodelled.
  • Upstairs there are two additional bedrooms and the den.
  • The den includes an office desk area, with the all important PC hook up, Hi-Fi and sitting area. An ideal place to escape when the vacuum is marauding through the rest of the house or just for some general peace and quiet.
  • Front Zen garden - maintenance free.

  • Adirdondecks on the patio.
