House in Ayrshire, Scotland (no longer available, it is being sold)
Our house used to be the old village school and has an enclosed garden that is mostly lawn. There is off street parking.
However, although it is an old house we have Sky HD, flat screen TVs, and WiFi / broadband if you need it. Troon and Prestwick golf courses are nearby, Glasgow city centre 20 minutes, Loch Lomond maybe an hour, Edinburgh perhaps a little longer - maybe 80 minutes. Generally this is a good spot for exploring the West of Scotland. If you want to explore some of the islands of the West coast- such as Arran - the ferry is about 40 minutes away. Downstairs, it is open plan with a large sitting room and a big kitchen (recently fitted)

Our Neighbourhood
Nearest Airport: Prestwick - 15 miles
Cunninghamhead is a small hamlet a few miles from Irvine and Kilmarnock. There is a good bus service 100 metres or so away if you don't want to use a car. It is surrounded by countryside, but is not too far from the motorway to Glasgow (and further afield), and also the lovely Ayrshire countryside and coastline
UPDATE - a house sale has been agreed so this is no longer available for exchange

AT19069Wir haben wunderbare Wochen in Brendas und Kierens OLD SCHOOL und in GREY ROW verbracht. So wunderbare Unterkünfte im OSTEN und WESTEN Schottlands zur Verfügung zu haben, ist wahrer Luxus.
Wir durften Kieren als unglaublich lieben, hilfsbereiten Tauschpartner kennenlernen. Unsere Freunde haben Brenda und ihre Söhne kennengelernt und waren begeistert von ihnen
Sie haben unser Haus sehr sauber hinterlassen, ebenso das Auto.
Die Blumen im Garten wurden bestens versorgt und unsere Katze auch!!!
Wir haben sehr viel von Schottland gesehen, was für ein traumhaft schönes Land!
Wir sind euch sehr, sehr dankbar, dass ihr mit uns getauscht haben und wünschen uns sehr, dass wir Kontakt halten!

FR1005277Our home exchange with Brenda and Kieren went very well. Their house is very pleasant to live in. They and their two sons were exceptionally kind. I would recommend doing exchanges with them.
