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.

BE452Wij hebben een heel aangename ruil achter de rug. Het contact was telkens warm en helpend zonder dat we elkaar continu overvielen met vragen.
Het huis was groot, aangenaam en heel netjes! We voelden ons onmiddellijk thuis!

FR1009989A lovely exchange, very easy to organize. Communication was fluid, not more frequent than necessary. Philip and Caroline's house is very comfortable and clean, and the garden in autumn was splendid. Nice watching squirrels while having breakfast! The neighborhood is very quiet and mostly pleasant. Lots of walking in the countryside around Turnbridge Wells and in the city itself, and hiking on the seaside (Bournemouth Seven Sisters and Hastings) Even a bit of cycling. London is easily reached by train. Our house was spotless when we returned.

GB52153Philip and Caroline were extremely helpful with information and advice about their home and surrounding area before our exchange. We were able to meet en route which was lovely. Their home is spacious and comfortable with a beautiful garden. They looked after ours very well too.
Philip and Caroline live in a very attractive part of Tunbridge Wells in walking distance to the centre and also for exploring the surrounding area. We were not familiar with Kent and were very pleasantly surprised by the number of attractions nearby ( especially National Trust) and how pretty it is. In fact we enjoyed our stay at Caroline and Philip’s so much that we hope to exchange with them again in the future.

NL0346Philip en Caroline hebben een zeer comfortabel huis en duidelijke ruilinformatie achtergelaten. Tijdens de ruil was contact via Whatsapp makkelijk om vragen over en weer snel te beantwoorden. Tunbridge Wells ligt fantastisch: makkelijk bereikbaar vanuit Nederland en op een uurtje van zowel Londen als Brighton, in een prachtig gebied. Helemaal goed dus!

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!
Bishop's Stortford, Великобритания
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.

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 !
