Read More...We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Wendy and Morgan's home. After lots of active travelling in Europe and then some busy days in London, it was the perfect retreat. The autumn colours were just beginning and we enjoyed exploring the local beauty spots and hidden gems such as a Sculpture Garden in a large local wilderness area. Local towns and villages were very "English" and the train to London was great the two times we went back into the big city! The house looks like an older cottage but is in fact relatively new and was warm and cosy, with wooden fires, heated towel rails and showers that work ;-) We loved looking out into the lovely garden with our morning tea! Neighbours were very helpful :-) Thanks so much Wendy and Morgan :-) Best wishes, Maureen and James

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Our home is in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with numerous wonderful woodland walks and National Trust areas nearby such as The Devils Punchbowl, Hindhead. Frensham ponds are very close by. There are also lots of off road cycling tracks near by. 60 minutes by train to London from Haslemere Station.
Haslemere (10 mins by car) is a beautiful market town with access to London by train - 4 trains an hour taking from 50 mins to central London. The historic market towns of Guildford and Farnham are well worth a visit as they both have castles and wonderful parks.
We are approx 50 mins from Gatwick and London airports. The Royal Horticultural Gardens of Wisley are about 40 mins away near the M25. Long weekends - A friendly well behaved dog is welcome as we have a black labrador (not allowed on furniture) that we would love to take with us on our stays in the UK.
