About this property

This mid-terrace cottage rests in the market town of Dronfield, in the North of Derbyshire, just south of Sheffield and east of the Peak District. This tastefully styled cottage is ideal for a small family or group of friends planning an outdoor break with easy access to the Peak District or looking for a base for exploring the numerous attractions in the area. Enter into the kitchen to find a well-stocked setup of appliances to satisfy your culinary needs, along with a dining table where all can gather to enjoy a fine meal while discussing the day’s events. Look forward to unwinding in the sitting room at the end of your day, with a large corner sofa to support you, plus a woodburning stove and Smart TV to keep up with all the latest entertainment. Upstairs you can find three bedrooms; a super king-size double, double and a twin room, offering the perfect arrangement for a family to get a good night’s rest amongst the magnificent countryside settings. Outside you can relax in the front or rear garden whilst contemplating how to spend your day, whether it be taking advantage of the amenities of Dronfield or heading into the Peak District to see the natural beauty of the region. Just across the road is a 500 year old pub, The Green Dragon Inn, which serves a classic British menu and regularly hosts live entertainment. For a more adventurous day, why not explore the mysterious caverns of Castleton or a trip to the ever-popular Alton Towers theme park? An excellent choice for families, any time of year.

This town of Dronfield lies midway between Sheffield and Chesterfield, and only 3 miles from the Peak District. Some of the amenities in the town include a number of shops, restaurants and pubs, plus a modern leisure centre, surrounded by miles of untouched Peak District countryside. Dronfield has an unusual landmark - the Peel Monument on High Street which was built in 1854 as a tribute to Robert Peel, the monument commemorates his repeal of the Corn Laws in 1846.

    Communications from the owners were very good, & they were happy to help with our questions pre visit. We would definitely look to stay here again.

    It was also very light for an old cottage (which are often dark!). The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped, the heating and hot water were good. The back and front gardens were lovely and we spent time in both. There was always a parking space close (although is a little tricky to pull out onto the road). The TV in the living room sometimes dropped the internet connection when we were using streaming services. We were a little confused about the tv in the master bedroom (not a tv, but a monitor instead). We would visit again and would happily recommend staying in this property.

    Really pretty shame we weren’t staying longer. Huge, lots of space. Couple of bits, with a 10 am check-out it was a bit of a rush striping beds and sorting recycling. Most places have a noon check out, 11 earliest. There was no wood for the burner. Though we had hoped not to want a fire in June! Shame we needed it!! A cafetière or coffee machine and pods in the kitchen would be good, so we could make a good coffee when we arrived, maybe a pint of milk. Nowhere has welcome packs anymore. After a 5 and a half hour drive we had to go straight back out for milk and tea/coffee. Otherwise amazing kitchen. Overall fantastic.
