A gentle stroll from the doorstep you will find many facilities, both old and new, with numerous local shops, restaurants and amenities. Dronfield lies midway between the vibrant city of Sheffield and the historic market town of Chesterfield, on the outskirts of The Peak District. Historically, the town has great significance, and the Grade I listed Church of St John the Baptist is testament to this as it has stood at the centre of this community since the 12th century.
Situated between the Peak District National Park and the city of Sheffield, while close by is the historic town of Chesterfield which is most notable for its famous crooked spire of St Mary and All Saints Church. The impressive Damflask, Agden, Dale Dike and Ladybower dams make for an interesting afternoon’s ramble, while the attractive village of Hathersage, thought to be the inspiration for Charlotte Bronte’s ’Jane Eyre’, is also within easy reach and is home to a selection of shops, pubs and inviting eateries, plus an outdoor lido. There are many stately homes to visit including Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and Hardwick Hall, whilst the historic and ever popular town of Bakewell and the rest of the Peak District, are within a short drive.
These properties can be booked together to accommodate up to 6 guests.

Perfect Little Romantic Escape My girlfriend and I spent a weekend here and honestly couldnt have asked for more. From the moment we arrived, it just felt special the converted barn has so much character, and the wood burner made the evenings incredibly cosy. We genuinely didnt want to leave the apartment some nights! The place is spotles, really well equipped, and the little thoughtful touches made it feel like more than just a rental. The host was warm and welcoming without being intrusive, which we really appreciated. Location was great too quiet and rural, but still easy to get into Sheffield or head out to the Peak District during the day. Perfect balance. If youre planning a romantic getaway, dont hesitate. Were already talking about coming back
