General overview
A coach house at the back of our garden makes for basic but private accommodation. There is an outdoor toilet block but you would have access to the bathroom and kitchen in our house. Please note, there are steep stairs leading to the bedroom and this property is not currently suited to cold winter stays.
Located in Sheffield, a friendly up and coming city, uniquely located on the edge of the Peak District National Park. We live in the convenient area of Hillsborough, within close walking distance of shops, cafés and pubs. We are on a tram route with regular service to the city centre and train station, with good access to to countryside and other cities.
Sheffield has some 250 woods, parks and gardens, interesting industrial heritage and a culture of live music, theatre, restaurants and pubs. There are numerous local walks, Rivelin Valley is a family favourite, with a café and wooded river path to wander and spot the stone remains of 19th century water wheels.
From Sheffield there is easy access by bus or train to the Peak District National Park, one of the most beautiful areas in Britain and ideal for cycling, walking, climbing or visiting historical sites such as Peveril Castle in Castleton.
The space
The coach house has a downstairs sitting area, with a pull out bed making a small double. Up the steep steps, there is a bedroom with a double bed. Outside there is a basic toilet block and a seating area with gazebo. It's basic but private, with its own entrance.
Guest access
The coach house has a downstairs sitting area and an upstairs bedroom. There is an outdoor toilet block and outdoor sitting area with gazebo. We can accommodate non-simultaneous stays as this is an additional property in the back garden of our house.
Notes
Please note there are very steep steps to the upstairs room, as shown in photo. The accommodation is basic, there is electricity and heaters/fans, but no running water at present. There is an outdoor toilet block and guests can use our kitchen and bathroom.

Family of 3 in Sheffield, England, a great city on the edge of the Peak District National Park, fantastic for walking, cycling, climbing or just enjoying the beautiful English countryside. We're also on a tram route into the city centre so it's easy to explore Sheffield (a great city) or catch a train to other destinations in the UK. York is an hour on the train & London 2.5 hours.
I've travelled a lot when younger and would like to introduce my husband and daughter to destinations in Europe on weekends or in school holidays. I’m Canadian and travel to the Burlington, Ontario region several times a year, so would welcome any offers from people based there.
We have a two story coachouse in our garden. It is basic and has an outdoor toilet block but it is suitable for non-simultaneous swaps. We can give access to our house for showering and cooking. I'd like to swap our house, but family life means it's just not in a good place right now for swapping. If you don't mind basic it provides private accommodation in a great area for public transport, food, pubs and outdoor pursuits.
I can't wait to get started with swapping, so we can be in touch with other travelling oriented people and see more of the world.
