House in TUNBRIDGE WELLS Kent, Great Britain
Our house is spacious, in a quiet residential neighbourhood but with shops, pubs and restaurants very close. Country walks are also on the doorstep.
We have a large garden that is very comfortable for dining outside in the summer.
We are now retired/resting from teaching and have more time to embark on exchanging at any time of the year and will consider short and much longer options.

Our Neighbourhood

We are a 10 minute walk from the centre of Tunbridge Wells which is a town of approx 50,000. It is very self-contained with all the shops that anyone would need, including a variety of supermarkets, and restaurants within walking distance.
Railway links to London are excellent with the station 15 minutes walk from home. Trains run every 15 minutes at peak times into Charing Cross or Canon Street stations.
There are various historical attractions nearby including Chartwell (Winston Churchill); Hever, Scotney, Bodiam and Leeds castles; and Batemans (Rudyard Kipling). Wakehurst Place, Shefield Park and Sissinghurst gardens are close by. The North and South Downs are easily accessible; as is the coast with Eastbourne and Brighton both within an hours drive.

Bishop's Stortford, Great Britain
GB1005898A super position within walking distance of this lovely old town. It's also in an excellent position to visit many National Trust houses and gardens. We took full advantage of this when we exchanged at the end of Nov when a lot of these houses had Xmas decorations up.
We also met Philip and Caroline for a coffee prior to the exchange which was lovely.

PLYMOUTH, Great Britain
GBSW001811Excellent stay, lovely home and great position for exploring Kent.

QUIMPER, France
FR020392Caroline et Philip were very welcoming guests. We were invited to a meal in their home just before they left and they made sure that everything was ok . The presentation of their house was accurate. They really took great care of our house.
Nous sommes tous enthousiastes à l'idée d'être d'accord de refaire un autre échange entre nous dans le futur, tellement ce dernier nous a plu, autant sur le plan humain, que par la maison, la ville et la région !

Castricum, Netherlands
NL0895We really enjoyed Tunbridge. A roomy house with a beautiful garden. We felt very much at home. And staying in the garden of England is a real treat!

Zeist, Netherlands
NL7976We have exchanged with Phil and Caroline a couple of times. Theirs is a wonderful house: spacious and comfortable, and in a very good location.
They left our house in immaculate condition.
