Advantages / Benefits

What are the advantages of using ukholidayswapshop?

By far the biggest is CASH SAVING...

Think of a ‘normal’ holiday. Even if you avoid the cost of flying to a foreign destination, there’s still accommodation (£40 is the least you’ll pay for a single room for ONE NIGHT bed and breakfast – that’s more than treble your ukholidayswapshop annual subscription!)...

A holiday swap gives you your accommodation FOR FREE. This is especially important for those who wish to holiday during peak periods or  families with school aged children who have no choice but to pay premium rates for accomodation.

As for eating, you’ll probably want to treat yourself to a few meals out, but most of it will be self-catering, at a cost which is no more than your ordinary grocery bill.

Another is CONVENIENCE...

Even in the poshest hotel, you’re living out of a suitcase. A holiday swap gives you all the comforts of home – baths instead of showers, full-sized television instead of those micro-screens with hardly any usable channels, the run of a fully-equipped kitchen, laundry facilities, room to swing a cat (if you have one), problem-free car parking and perhaps even a garden.

Another is CO-OPERATION...

Your swap partner can do a lot more for you than simply exchange homes. They can tell you where the best restaurants are, and the friendliest pubs, the quietest beaches, the most spectacular views, the cheapest supermarkets. Even though you’re on holiday, you’ll have all the advantages of local knowledge, and you’ll have made new friends.

Another is COMMUNITY...

By joining ukholidayswapshop you’ll become part of a growing community of like-minded people eager to take advantage of the benefits of holiday swapping. Spread the word!

So... why ukholidayswapshop? WHY NOT?

Whilst most other sites offer international home exchanges, we thought: why not make this possible solely within the UK? Especially now, because...

  • Air travel is getting more expensive and will soon be prohibitively expensive. Tour operators are cutting the number of overseas package holidays, so there’ll be fewer bargains to be had.
  • By choosing to holiday within the UK you will considerably reduce your carbon footprint.
  • Money is tight for everyone, this is an opportunity to beat the squeeze and ... last but not least because...

YOU LIVE IN AN INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL AND EXCITING COUNTRY. So... what are you waiting for... why not check it out for yourself: the Lakes, the Norfolk Broads, the National Parks, thousands of miles of stunning coastline, historic towns and vibrant cities with something for everyone – from theatres and art galleries to shopping malls and night clubs.
