3 bed house in beautiful North Wales

We would love to swap with people, and we also are often looking for pet sitters.

On offer is a 3 bed house in the very beautiful Welsh town of Llangollen.

The house is 3 bedrooms, 1 double, 1 single, and one with bunk beds (bottom bunk is toddler-sized). There is good wifi, and sky tv. There’s also a real fire in the living room. The kitchen is small, but has everything you will need (including a proper coffee machine).

The town and surrounding area are the real draw. Llangollen is stunningly beautiful. There are horse-drawn barges on the canal, a river you can kayak down or swim in, and miles and miles of beautiful hills to ramble around. The town is a thriving market town, with something interesting always going on, from vintage diesel weekends on the steam railway to the Eisteddfod (a uniquely Welsh festival of music, poetry and dance). The house is right in the centre of town – the river is 2 minutes walk away, and you can hear the steam train whistle from the house. You are only a few miles away from Snowdonia, and even driving there takes you through amazing countryside.

If you want to travel a little further, Chester is a well-preserved historic city about 45 minutes drive away, with the award-winning conservation focussed Chester Zoo less than an hour away. Costal towns of Rhyl and Llandudno are also within an hours drive.

For the less intrepid, there are lots of real ale pubs in town, and the best Welsh cream teas are served in a converted carriage at the steam train station. There is a huge secondhand bookshop in an old converted cinema, and a lovely little park right next to the river.

We do have a cat and two guinea pigs who would be part of any swap arrangement. We also have a small dog, who might or might not be part of the arrangement. All of the animals are friendly and easy to care for, the dog is half spaniel so a bit bouncy.

We would love to swap to exciting places in the UK (especially cities) for mini-breaks. We would also be interested in swapping for places abroad.
