About this property

Vale Barn is a fantastic, detached barn conversion in the centre of Dronfield in Derbyshire. The cottage cleverly combines the original fabric of the building with 21st century living, with a galleried landing which is complemented by the beautiful feature beams in the bedrooms. With a comfortable double and twin room, the cottage provides flexible sleeping arrangements, with the use of a sofa bed in the sitting room. The double bedroom has an en-suite shower room, there is a family bathroom and a ground floor basin and WC for extra convenience. The spacious sitting room has an upright piano and is a fantastic space for everyone to gather together and plan the next day’s activities. Vale Barn was once the carriage house to Vale House which was home to a family of substance who patented malleable iron. 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. You will find all the local amenities you require in Dronfield, including The Green Dragon pub which is believed to have been established in 1547. The Peak District’s varied and breathtaking landscapes are among the most beautiful in Britain. There are activities available to keep you busy whenever you stay, with walks on the moors, cycle routes, country fairs in summer, traditional markets and a vast choice of stately homes to visit. This cottage is in an ideal location and with so much to see and do in the area you will see yourselves coming back again and again!

Dronfield is a Derbyshire market town with a history dating back to before the 1086 Domesday Book, and has a number of 12th century buildings which are still in existence. The town has a wide range of shops, pubs, restaurants and also a modern sports centre, and is surrounded by wonderful Peak District countryside where the walks are asking to be explored.

    Beautifully presented, immaculately clean and all comforts and well equiped for cooking etc. The owners were very helpful and kindly left us some food and milk on our arrival including home made slice. The cottage was very convenient for visiting Sheffield and the Peak District. Dronfield was very pretty and we enjoyed some of the close by restaurants and Sainsburys and Aldi were in easy walking distance. Having the train station nearby was very convenient and the occasional sound of a train going by was no issue. We hope to stay at the barn again . Thankyou for having us.

    The cottage itself is perfect: very well laid out, clean, well equipped and warm (and we were there when outside overnight temperatures were -5°). The owners are very helpful and friendly but not at all intrusive. The immediate area is perfect, with a station just a few minutes walk away and some great places to eat. We particularly enjoyed The Blue Stoops. Aldi and Sainsbury's are very close by, should you run out of supplies. The Town Trail is worth doing.

  • Susan

    Hygiene & comfort to the highest standards, although access to & from property could be an issue for some. Owners were exceptionally helpful, considerate & nothing being too much trouble to organize. An inspired & thoughtful development in the ancient hamlet of Dronfield.
