Our Heavenly French House Swap

Last month P and I took a short trip to France as a mini holiday before his busy season starts. In an attempt to keep costs down we decided to sign up to a house swapping website, Love Home Swap, which we had been recommended friends. 

We were both quite nervous about the experience, but met up with the lovely owners of Rocking Horse house for a drink in London before we left, which I would highly recommend as it's much nicer having a face to the name before you go and stay in their house! 

When we arrived we were totally blown away by how stunning it was; as you can see from these photos we really did get lucky on this occasion and had a gorgeous week in the Cognac region. As the house is regularly used as a second home, it had everything you would need to really feel as if you actually are at home, so we much preferred it to staying in a hotel. 

I can't recommend Love Home Swap enough - they have an amazing selection of properties all around the world and if this experience is anything to go by, then most of them will be five star!
