Delightful cottage in classic hill country
A really charming little terraced cottage in a pretty and historic village, with a lovely view of the hills from the dining table. Angela went to a lot of trouble to make her home comfortable and welcoming for us - thank you!

I am recently retired and I am interested in short mid week swaps to explore different rural areas of the UK with good walking or horse riding opportunitues. I also have a holiday let, so I have experience of guest requirements and Covid regulations, and you will find my home very pretty, clean, tidy and cosy. Although I live alone, I may sometimes travel either with my long term partner, or a girlfriend. I will always leave your home as I find it.

On the first floor the bathroom offers a bath and shower, and the bedroom has a raised ceiling with velux windows giving a light and airy room, which also offers a shower and basin.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
The cottage is located in the centre of Hayfield village, and at the base of Kinder Scout. In 1932 around 500 walkers, mostly from Manchester, trespassed en masse and walked from Hayfield to Kinder Scout to secure access right to open country for all to enjoy forever, so walk in the footsteps of the trespassers and enjoy what others fought so hard for. Hayfield is also a perfect base to explore the Derbyshire countryside, be it on your bicycle or by car, the Hope Valley is one of the best-loved parts of the Peak District National Park, offering some of the best views and most picturesque villages in the country, and visit the superb Chatsworth Country House and gardens. There are several cafes and many pubs with good restaurants locally.
