Overview
Property code: 85450

Nestled in this quiet village, this cosy cottage, packed with character offers comfortable accommodation for up to seven guests, a truly beautiful base for exploring this stunning area. The perfect retreat for friends and families

Brassington is a tranquil village yet the ideal base for a family adventure, placing you within easy reach of the Peak District’s most exhilarating walks and exciting attractions such as Alton Towers, 18 miles away. This attractive cottage sleeps seven and offers a restful sanctuary beneath its ivy-clad stone exterior. After a busy day, it has everything you need to satisfy your appetite before lighting the fire and breaking out the board games.

Step inside and be blown away by the cosy decor, beamed ceilings and exposed stone, entering via the dining hall ready to feast on some seriously impressive local fare at the large table. There’s a kitchen equipped with all the essentials and more for whipping up delicious dinners, and the cosy lounge is a treat in itself with its wood burner. There are four bedrooms for you to choose from at bedtime, including a useful single bedroom with an extra pull-out mattress that’s perfect for a child. Completing the property is a handy bathroom for long soaks in the bath. Outside, the patio has a bistro-style table for drinks in the sunshine and a vast expanse of lawn that’s just the ticket for garden games.

Situated on the cusp of the Peak District National Park in a picturesque village setting, this property sleeps seven and is the perfect choice for those keen to reconnect with nature. Lace up your walking boots and wander through the streets of Brassington, investigating the Norman church and letting the smallest members of your party let off steam in the play area. Numerous trails lead from the village into the rugged countryside, but Carsington Water, 5.5 miles away, is also an excellent place to try water sports such as windsurfing, canoeing and fishing.

This was our second stay at this lovely little cottage. It was lovely to find a handwritten note from the owners who realised that we had visited their cottage 2 years previously. The cottage is comfortable and has a log-burning stove which makes it feel very cosy when were there early in November. Brassington is a small, charming village with 2 niRead morece pubs. There is also great walking in the surrounding area and don't forget to visit Matlock Wells which is a very quirky place! Hide

We recently returned from a week at 1 The Barn. The property was a disappointment. On arrival it was not very clean, and had an overriding smell of dog. The kitchen cookware desperately needs replacing. The bathroom is tired, shabby and could do with replacing. The property advertises as suitable for 6 guests, however the lounge and kitchen are notRead more big enough, and there is only 1 bathroom. One positive...the beds were comfortable. In our opinion, this was not worth the high price! Hide

Lovely cottage and nicely placed with 2 dog friendly pubs which both did good food several days a week. Welcome pack of prosecco,biscuits,tea and sweets a nice touch.

Be aware if dog owner that garden is higher thanRead more pavement so fencing not as high as it looks. Fine for our small and medium sized dogs. Great guide books too.Quick response to a query very pleasant Hide

We spent a bank holiday weekend here as two families (3 adults and 3 kids aged 10-13). The cottage was clean, comfortable and well equipped for cooking, and in an excellent location for a range of activities as it's close to some great walks, cycle hire for the Tissington/High Peak trail, and visitor attractions.

Impeccably furnished and well equipped, the cottage was in a stunning locality. We walked out and visited the Norman church and saw some Alpaca's. The village residents were very friendly and we had an amazing meal at the local pub. A much needed weekend break in a beautiful area and the cottage was the icing on top of the cake

Great location and well stocked with all you would need, Brassington is a great little village in a great location for getting around.
