“We had a fantastic holiday in Derby in Charlotte\'s and Martin\'s house. It is large, cosy, in a very quiet area which provides everything you need nearby. We especially enjoyed the garden, since the weather was rather clement during our stay. It was very convenient to discover the Peak district where we had great walks, Nottingham (Robin Hood), the cathedral of Derby... Communication was easy and effecient before and during the home exchange. Charlotte and Martin took great care of our house and of our cat. A big thank you for this great swap.”

Who we are
-
We are Martin and Charlotte, parents to four children, ranging in age from 17 to 7 and a lovely little dog named Shadow. Martin is head of Creative Arts at a local secondary school and I run an art and craft business from home and work in cosmetics retail. Along with our children we enjoy all kinds of activities ranging from walking in the peak district, mountain biking ( this is mainly the boys) climbing to drawing and creating at home. We have taken part in wonderful exchanges with families from Spain/France and London and are keen to do it all again. We love to travel and show the children different countries and cultures and experience new things. We would like to be able to share with others some of things we love about where we live.

The house is situated in a quiet cul de sac just a couple of minutes walk from local amenities, Supermarket, pubs, restaurants, coffeeshops. It is a 10 minute drive to Derby City. As we are in the centre of the country we are within close distance to all the major cites via road or train.
20 minutes to Nottingham
40 minutes to Birmingham
1 hr 30 mins to Leeds/York
3 hrs to London
We are also just a stones throw away from The Peak District and the beautiful English Countryside.
Derby is a historic city, and boasts a cathedral and many historic sites. It is regarded as one of the most haunted cities in England and hosts a number of 'ghost walks' and ' haunted pubs'. It is a stones throw from Chatsworth House ( the stately home where Pride and Prejudice was filmed) and close to Nottingham, the home of Robin Hood and the remains of Nottingham Castle. An hours drive from Derby is Lincoln, the market town where the magna carta was signed. And of course there many beautiful walks and sights to see and explore within the peak District.
