2012 has the promise for such an exciting year for Britain! The Diamond Jubilee celebrations of Queen Elizabeth II and The Olympic Games are history in the making. Why not combine the excitement of these unforgettable events with an equally memorable relaxing homestay in the English countryside. A perfect combination!
Russ and Patricia are also eager to welcome those interested in discovering the roots of "The Iron Lady" with such close proximity to Grantham, the home town of Margaret Thatcher. Enjoy the experience of Britain 2012.
Why not come over to England and spend a relaxing and happy home stay with us in the quaint village of Skillington?
Slow down to the pace of country living. It is a great way to experience English lifestyle and provides a natural environment in which to escape the stresses of a busy life. Friendly farm animals in the adjacent field will quickly make you feel at home and at one with nature.
Homestay is available throughout the whole year. Enjoy cosy winter evenings by the open fireside or join us in welcoming the breathtaking arrival of spring. Delight in the long beautiful days of summer or soak up the autumn colour of the English countryside.
We are able to cater for the needs of all ages and a wide field of individual and cultural interests. Children of any age are welcome. Patricia's wealth of over 20 years of teaching experience will ensure that your child or young adult will have an educational as well as a fun stay. Her status as an International Award Winning Teacher is a good indication of the cultural knowledge that your child could gain from such an experience.
A variety of dietary needs can be catered for. You are sure to enjoy our home cooking using locally farmed produce. Why not enjoy gathering food of your own choice from our organically grown fruit and vegetables? Our garden also offers a haven of tranquillity in which to enjoy relaxing outdoors or indulging in the pleasure of gardening.
We look forward to welcoming you to our home where you will arrive as guests and leave as friends!
