My wife and I have 4 children and 8 grand children who are an absolute joy to us. We enjoy travelling and have travelled extensively around the world. This year we decided to explore closer to home and focus on England again so are just back
from 6 months exploring more of London, Dorset, Devon, Cornwall, Cotswolds, Peak
District, Yorkshire and Pembrokeshire in Wales.
We used to have a time share in Royal Deeside in Scotland, 10 minutes from Balmoral castle. Ballater and Royal Deeside are extra special which is why the royal family back to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and all royal families since go there every year..
We live in a quiet residential area in Deeping St James near the town of Market Deeping and the historic town of Stamford, voted one of the best towns to live in the UK and world renowned Cambridge and London.
If you appreciate river views, tranquility, nature, fishing, country walks (5 minutes from nature reserve and fishing lakes, historic buildings (Burleigh House 10 minutes away), Cambridge University city 45 minutes by road, London 1 hour by train from Peterborough (15 minutes away), Lincolnshire Wolds, Rutland Water, Norfolk Coast and beaches, Ferry Meadows, Tallington Lakes, Lincoln Cathedral & Castle, is why you'll never get bored here.

We felt really at home as soon as we arrived at Alan and Pat's house, it is light, open plan, very clean and comfortable. Located down a pretty and quiet road it is very relaxing with easy access to the town and the wider area including beautiful Stamford, Rutland Water and Burghley House. After enjoying winter days out we loved relaxing in the cosy warm lounge, the beautiful garden and river view would be just perfect during the warmer months. Easy communications and a relaxed attitude made our exchange a great match with lasting memories made.
Thank you for sharing your home with us,
Wayne & Patricia
It was a pleasure to have Alan and Pat stay in our home for their first exchange. With easy and prompt communications the whole process was smooth and straightforward. When we returned home our house was left tidy and very clean. Recommended as guests if you get the chance.
Lovely, comfortable home and garden. Good position for exploring the surrounding countryside and train link into London. Our five day stay was very relaxed. We met up with Wayne and Patricia and they were very helpful in giving us information about PLU as we are new to the group.
We were really impressed with how they left our home. To be perfectly honest it did not look any different from when we left it. They were extremely considerate and we would be more than happy to recommend anyone considering an exchange with them.
