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.

A spacious cottage in the lovely village of Brassington. The local pub (Old Gate) is brilliant and it's only a short walk across the field to get there. The cottage is comfortable but a bit basic; it would benefit from things like hooks for coats, shoe rack etc. The small garden is convenient when travelling with dogs as we did. The walking from thRead moree door step is very good. Places of interest within a 30 min radius are plenty. Hide

We had a lovely time, and the cottage was perfectly set out for our needs. The downstairs bedroom was plenty big enough for a cot (which they kindly provided on request) and was far enough away from the others to enable good sleep all round. The beds were all super comfortable and the welcome basket was a really generous and kind touch that made usRead more all smile. It was warm and cosy, and the log fire was a real bonus. The location ensured we were well placed to see key places in the peaks, and we would definitely recommend the cottage and come back. Hide
