Barbara is a part time physiotherapist, Iain a retired lawyer. We love travel, want to improve our french, and are happy to exchange for a few days or 2-3 weeks and would consider any attractive European destination. Ideally we are looking for peace, space and sun in the houses we stay in - and can offer that to our visitors in London. Our country cottage is charming, sunny and very peaceful, but small.
