We are a Belgian - English couple (75-60 years old) met in the most romantic story of home exchange in 2003. We now live in England where I live my dream running a B&B (Lut's Place www. lutsplace.com)) in the beautiful 300 year old listed farm house where my husband Bruce lived most of his life. He's a tenant farmer and runs a DIY horse livery yard, so we are surrounded by horse paddocks.
We still visit Belgium often to see my three sons and granddaughter and friends. In and out our jobs, we like meeting people by travelling, Biodanza, retreats... We both like music and always have a concert to look forward to. I like to be creative in the house with flowers, I love baking, cooking.... Bruce's passion is poetry, he likes playing in his wood workshop, football and can talk about anything.

Read More...We instigated this short exchange in order to get away for a safe peaceful and relaxing few days during the Covid pandemic, and the exchange proved to be a wonderful experience. Lut and Bruce from the outset provided clear communication and we found their farmhouse home to be immaculately clean and so homely. Surrounded by paddocks and horses with rabbits and squirrels playing amongst the trees, the peaceful surroundings cannot but help you relax. Çlose to Lincoln and some lovely places to visit such as Doddington Hall,this exchange ,particularly during the current climate was absolutely fantastic and has left us with some very fond memories. Thank you Lut and Bruce for allowing us to experience your unique house. Best wishes for the future. Stewart and Tracey.

Read More...We loved the history, comfort and the location of Lut and Bruce's home. Being surrounded by such a historic and comfortable home in the middle such beautiful county made our stay in Lincolnshire perfect. Everything we wanted was at our fingertips from the impeccably appointed home, to the walkability of the surrounding area and the easy bus schedule into Lincoln. We explored the whole of northern England from this central location. And, dealing with both Lut and Bruce was easy. They made us feel welcome and treated our home in the USA with care and respect. We'd love to exchange again!

Read More...We had a great holiday in Lincoln in Bruce and Lut's house! It's an old house and you feel like a movie star in an old English country house! The kitchen is amazing! It's so spacious and has all the equipment needed! It's a very large house with lots of bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The garden feels like a park. So large! And every morning and evening, me and my 2,5y old daughter were counting the wild rabbits in the garden. Lut and Bruce are really lovely and friendly and they left our house very neat and clean. I would definitely recommend an exchange with them and their fantastic house!

Description de notre maison d'échange
The farmhouse was built in the eighteenth century and still has many original features :-beams, fireplaces, winding stairs to attic, and is surrounded by a beautiful big garden. The house where the family moved in 1951 has now been upgraded to create a modern feel without loosing the character of the old grade two listed farmhouse. The view south is of the small hamlet of South Hykeham. You can pick your designer wellies from our collection, cross the road and go walking in the countryside. A 15 minute drive brings you to the centre of the historical city of Lincoln with its castle, Roman ruins and we feel one of the most beautiful and imposing cathedrals in the world. The city offers good restaurants, shopping, museum and cinema.
London is one and half hours by train from Newark (15 minutes drive). The coast is an hours drive , the Peak District and the Yorkshire Dales are about one and half to two hours away. Cambridge, Oxford, Leeds, Sheffield, York can be visited easily by car. London is 1,30 by train from Newark. airports to fly out to European countries in 2hrs.
