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.

Beautiful location and property.
Beautiful location and property. Plenty of pubs, restaurants and shops close by albeit we didn’t really venture out much due to the property being very cosy and finished to a high standard with very warm and welcoming host. We will definitely be back for a revisit in the future
