Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

We live in the middle of the National Park surrounded by our 7 acres of fields and wonderful views! Access to our home is via a track off the 'main road' through the very small village. We are open to offers and are happy to swap with coastal, rural or city centre homes for variety. We are also looking for longer sits in Europe and as experienced professional petsitters we are able to offer petcare for longer sits. The area we live in is beautiful with access to 3 major cities as well as 2 airports within 50 miles (Birmingham, Manchester and Sheffield). Chatsworth House, Buxton Opera House, Alton Towers, the Belfry Golfclub as well as a variety of walking routes are on our doorstep. The pubs are well known for their food and during the summer local villages hold fetes, craft fayres, art events and well dressings. The map link leads you up the track past a bungalow to our home, annexe, barn, fields and menage.

Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

Chestnut House lies above the village of Flagg, in the heart of the Peak District. Wonderful views and walks starting from the front door. Many people visit Derbyshire and the National Park to cycle and walk. We also have Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, Sudbury and many more historic places on the doorstep. Local villages hold well dressings, craft fayres etc during the summer months. Bakewell and Buxton (both market towns) are 10 minutes drive from the house. There are golf clubs at Bakewell, Ashbourne, Buxton and the Belfry Golf Course is only 1hr away. Buxton Opera House has a wonderful programme of events and you are only 1 hr from Sheffield, Manchester and Birmingham. If you just want to relax, stay in the house and enjoy the 7 acres of land surrounding our home.

Our Preferences

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules

We are only keen to travel within Europe and the UK. We are also looking for long sits in 2023 and 2024 in Europe and the UK. As experienced professional petsitters we're happy to look after pets as part of a longer sit.
Lorraine is always looking for pet/homesits with no exchange involved and has helped lots of homelinkers in Europe and the UK since joining. We would prefer to swap with other couples/singles for ease of organising our home. In addition to the main house, we also have a 2 bed annexe with bathroom, kitchen, lounge which is attached but independant of the main house and used by ourselves on non sim links. Parking is available either outside the main house or the annexe, but never on the drive which must be kept clear at all times for field access. Due to previous experiences, we must insist that any likely visitors during your stay are agreed prior to the homelink.
