“We have had a very successful exchange with Paddy and Valerie. Their house is a fantastic place close to Dublin in a quiet area surrounded by green fields and little villages; We felt very comfortable in their house thanks to the excellent installations and so big house. Special mention the pool room, the jacuzzi and the huge garden. They are very friendly and they have take care with the details en order to make our stay as pleasant as possible, also in our house.”
“We spend Easter in Paddy and Valerie\'s home in the quiet village of Kilteel outside Dublin. Their home is very well situated for trips to Dublin as well as the beautiful Irish nature. The exchange went smoothly from the first contact on. Valerie made sure, we had all the information we needed, and we enjoyed spending time in their huge house. Our own house was left in perfect condition when we returned. We can easily recommend house swapping with this family. Thanks again, Valerie, Paddy, Finn, Alanna and Rowan”

To be recommended!”
“We had a very successful homeswap with Val and Paddy summer 2013! All arrangements and communication was effortless and we felt very welcome to their home.

Thank you Val, Paddy and children for letting us stay at your home and also for taking such a good care of ours!”

We have not travelled since 2019 due to Covid and now feel comfortable to holiday again as we are fully vaccinated and boosted, and hopefully Covid levels will fall in the summer months as they have done since the pandemic started. Ireland is one of the most vaccinated countries in the world per head of population with 94% of over 12s fully vaccinated (January 2022).
We would love a house with outdoor patio and a pool.
We live in Kilteel which is a small elevated village bordering Dublin, Wicklow and Kildare. We are beside to the N7 which will take you into the centre of Dublin (12 miles) away or going the other way to Naas and onwards to the south of the country.
