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.

A lovely place, at a livery stables. The host was very helpful over text mesage and we arrived to a bottle of milk and prosecco in the fridge. What more do you need?!

Another stay at the Little Hive, one of my favourite places to stay when I'm in the area. Warm and cosy with everything that's needed.

Over the Christmas period I stayed here for the 1st time at this accommodation and enjoyed my stay. Very Clean inside and very warm, I intend to stay again in the future. You can walk to the train station, pub and local shops. It was nice to see the horses in the morning as you duck to leave through the small entrance door , I think a blind, curtain on the door window would give a bit more privacy and a little more light around the car park as a little dark would be useful as there is a drop if trying to reverse into the car park from above, Really enjoyed my stay here.
