My first career was in the Royal Navy where I specialised as a submarine navigator. It was here that I met Rita as her father was commander of the submarine base at HMS Dolphin in Gosport. We then had 9 years in the Diplomatic Service working in London, Kenya and the Yemen Arab Republic. It was there that I learned Arabic and became interested in language teaching which had been Rita’s specialisation since university. We moved to Lydbury North in 1985 and have been running a small residential language centre since then. Mostly we have been training business and professional students in English as an international language. With the changes in the world market for English language training and our wish for a change of professional emphasis, we are now able to start letting our very comfortable and well equipped accommodation to people eager to enjoy everything that this beautiful and historic part of the country has to offer. We live in the main house but Kwerky Cottage is entirely self-contained.

Located at the back of the Old Vicarage in a lovely village amidst the hills of South West Shropshire. Lydbury North has a school, a church, a community shop and a friendly pub. Many local walks. Two small supermarkets and many eating places in nearby Bishop's Castle and a half-hour drive from Ludlow and Shrewsbury. Near to the Welsh border. Ideal for walking and cycling. Everywhere is dog friendly. You need your own transport. Car, motorbike or bicycle. We have plenty of room for all. There is a local taxi service.
