Rising costs mean many will be unable to afford to get away this summer, particularly as the price of holidaying in the UK has jumped since the pandemic.

However, there are ways to avoid spending a fortune on accommodation, with a number of websites enabling users to stay at someone else’s home while they’re away.

We would like to hear from people who are looking to keep costs down by house-swapping or house-sitting in order to have a break from home. Are you a seasoned house-sitter, or is it your first time doing it for a more affordable break? Are you swapping with friends, family or through a website?
