The location is excellent both for local excursions along the rural Thames and for efficient access to Central London by train or bus and tube for day trips. The house has a host of attractions for families with two living rooms for separate activities as well as an enormous kitchen diner, very well equipped, which was the focal gathering place for our family. Our four year old granddaughter enjoyed the playing space outside and the two local childrens’ playgrounds within easy walking distance, one of which is right by the peaceful River Thames and a favourite place for picnics. We didn’t need a car during our stay as the local and very regular bus service provides easy access to places of interest like Kew Gardens, Hampton Court and Richmond but if you wanted to explore outside the London area Twickenham is a good jumping off point by car to the South and West. We were made to feel very welcome by clear briefing notes, useful email conversations before we arrived and by the family friend who was there to let us in and show us the ropes. We would thoroughly recommend this Exchange house and family and hope we can do another exchange ourselves with them before too long. Many thanks Caroline, Richard and Sons. John and Shireen Weston
