Dragon Hill Barn

The cottage had everything we could possibly need for a weekend break and we found the information pack very useful, this included maps for local walks and all info for appliances, heating etc We had a lovely walk around carsington waters but would like to go back and explore some More.

Would definitely recommend

We had a very pleasant stay at Dragon Hill Barn, spacious and well furnished.

A property with real character. A short walk to a couple of pubs, the Old Gate Inn served very good evening meals. Brassington is a good location to explore the Peak District.

We had a lovely stay at Dragon Hill Barn.

The property was home from home with everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. The owner was very helpful and the location was perfect for us. If we visit the Peak District again we will choose this property to stay in. We will hopefully return one day.

This was our second time staying at Dragon Barn Cottage, and it probably won't be our last.

It's a fantastic base to explore the Peak District. The cottage has everything needed to enjoy a comfortable week as a family of 4 with 2 children (8 & 10), and little quirks that come with an older cottage. It was clean and tidy when we arrived and the kids thought that royalty had cleaned and made their beds with the little cards left. The kids explored the village, found the small park behind the school and made some new local friends. We visited Crich, Abraham Heights and Matlock during our week. If you have younger children, Hall Leys Park in Matlock has a fantastic splash area for some free entertainment.

It’s a lovely property, we really enjoyed our stay there, I would maybe suggest a yellow stripe on the step leading into the seating area.

Has everything you need for a short break.

Highly recommend. Ps airer is in bedroom clothes cupboard not under the stairs

Really pleased with our accommodation and where it was.

Lovely walk around the village and church. Peaceful and quiet. Great base to tour Derbyshire. Ashbourne, Bakewell, cromford mills all within a short drive away.

We loved our stay at Dragon Hill Barn, the accommodation is small but perfectly formed and was spacious enough for two adults and two children, the finish of the property was lovely and the beds and sofas comfy.

The barn is ideally situated for exploring the surrounding area in easy reach of many beautiful spots.

Loved my stay ;; barn is lovely,, and comfortable.

,, has everything you need The area is beautiful too had a lovely time .. well worth the stay

A very well-equipped comfortable cottage - they've done well to squeeze so much in without it feeling cramped.

Very clean. Beds are very comfortable too. A nice location in a beautiful village. Good walks from the door, and not far from shops in Wirksworth or Ashbourne - and a good base for exploring the peak district. Just two minor problems during our stay: when it was windy, the exterior shutter on the downstairs window kept blowing shut because the mechanism that fixes it open is missing. And several times at night, we were woken by scratching noises above the ceiling in the bedrooms - sounds like some animal is getting into the void (probably from the neighbouring shed?). But overall we were very happy with our stay.

We should not be expected to strip the beds and put the bedding and towels in plastic bags.

That is the first time in many many years of staying self catering cottages. It will be the last time as well. Also the road is described as quiet. This is so because of the triple glazing. However it is a busy road traffic wise and used as a rat run. Also a workmans pickup truck was parked directly outside all week. We had to carry our luggage etc up hill, at our age 81 and 78 not ideal. We will visit this lovely area again but stay somewhere else.

We had a lovely stay at Dragon Barn, the cottage had all the essentials, and some quirky bits like the hidden washing machine.

The only downside as a family of 4, who do like to cook and take picnics out was the size of the fridge - it was tiny, and not practical. It didn't help that the bottom shelf was broken and fell off as soon as a bottle of milk was placed on it, there is a full 4 drawer freezer in the kitchen, so the icebox in the fridge is not necessary as it takes up space. I'm mentioning it, because if you like to do an online food shop/delivery to your holiday home you need to be mindful of how much can fit in the fridge. Apart from that small gripe which didn't effect our holiday, we enjoyed our stay and the village of Brassington, and would return in future. The property was clean, well maintained, plenty of linen and towels, and a mat to step out of the shower onto, which is often forgotten about.

We had a lovely stay in this cottage , it is equipped with everything you could need.

A beautiful little home from home

Well our first time holidaying at a Sykes cottage and it was wonderful and a huge thank you to the owners I think we hit the jackpot there for sure, the only small issue we felt was the depth of step from the dining area to the lounge otherwise perfect

Dragon Hill Barn is a lovely property.

I would like to make two small comments though. 1. The freezer in the kitchen is much too high up to reach easily. 2. The Kingsize bedroom could do with a small curtain at the window because the black shutter makes the room very dark at night.

This is a lovely cottage, fitted out to a very high standard.

So comfortable and the owner has put a lot of thought and care into the place. It’s warm and cosy with the woodburner lit, and that also adds extra warmth upstairs to the already efficient heating. There’s 2 lovely pubs very close by, both serving great food. The Miners Arms is just one minute across the road,and the owners and locals made us feel so welcomed. The village location makes it easy to get around the Peak District. We’d definitely recommend this cottage.

Dragon Hill Barn is a beautiful cottage which has everything that you need for a very comfortable and happy stay.

The owner had provided a starter pack to make you welcome which was quickly used and enjoyed after a good drive down. It was very comfortable for the three of us and would easily accommodate four with plenty of hot water and everything you need in the kitchen to cook a meal if required. We fell lucky for some very good weather so the outside terrace although not big was ample for relaxing with a glass of wine. We did not require the electric heating but lit the wood burner one night for a cosy cuddle. I would highly recommend the barn.

Super clean & cosy property.

Would definitely stay here again.

We had a fabulous week in this lovely little barn.

It’s very well equipped and absolutely spotless, we honestly couldn’t fault anything. It’s set in a lovely village with 2 pubs. We ate at The Olde Gate Inn for 3 nights and the food was amazing, I would highly recommend. We would definitely go back and stay here again. Thank you!

Comfortable and well-equipped, would stay again

Really lovely cottage well situated in Brassington.

Great walks at Carsington Water. Very delicious food at the old gate inn and at the knockerdown. Wirksworth well worth a visit for arts n crafts exhibitions and shops. Highly recommend this delightful cottage

This is a spotlessly clean and well furnished cottage.

The interior is very well planned and equipped ( we liked the “ secret” washing machine). Asthmatics will appreciate that this cottage is pet-free. The cosy and historic Hanging Gate pub is well worth a visit with its original features especially the beautiful working range. There are good walks from the front door with maps and guides provided in the cottage.

We had a wonderful week away in your cosy cottage.

It was a real tonic to stay in such a beautiful location and go for many walks in the nearby surroundings. Would highly recommend. Thank you.

Lovely, clean and we'll laid out with a thoughtful welcome pack.

Beautiful area, we really couldn't fault our stay and will be happy to go back.

We had a really great time in your cosy cottage.

Thank you for the kind sweets and drinks. We would love to come back some time. Greetings Fam Molier

Great base for lots of walking despite the cold wet weather, nice comfy cottage to return to.

Interesting village to walk round when the weather was too bad for hiking. Very useful bus service from outside the church if you dont fancy driving to nearby towns

Cosy little cottage.

The welcome pack was a nice surprise. The beds were very comfy. Loved the woodburner. The Peak District is a beautiful area. We had a lovely stay in this comfortable cottage.

Beautiful cottage, lovely area

We enjoyed our holiday at Dragon Hill Barn.

The property has been thoughtfully converted and was very clean, comfortable and cosy. It is ideally placed for good walks and local towns. I would strongly recommend this cottage.

We have just spent 5 days at this cottage, and it's a great place to stay.

It's very well thought out and a great base to explore the area. We had never been to this area but was easy to get everywhere we wanted yo go. Chatsworth was stunning and worth the money. The day we went was extremely hot but we managed to find some shade. The Hope & Anchor in Wirksworth is lovely and the food was good. One little tiny Criticism is that a couple of small bins upstairs would be useful. The owners information was good and the directions were correct. I would definitely recommend this cottage to friends and family.

Lovely little property ideal for exploring the area.

Well eqiped with all that you needed. We visited the zoo, hired bikes, visited Alron Towers and the Poole Caverns. Pub loccated opposite was plesant, we luckily got a table the first night. We travelled with two teenage girls so a small bin in the upstairs bathroom would be useful for sanitary items or make up removal.

We had a lovely holiday at Dragon Hill Barn, a real home from home.

The cottage had everything you could need, the milk and biscuits on arrival was much appreciated. Having small children, we loved that most attractions were within 30 minutes drive. Gullivers kingdom was a big hit, as was Pooles cave. There are also lovely walks right from the front door. A wonderful cottage in a great location. We hope to return in the future.

The property was in excellent order, very roomy, simple layout, had everything that was needed for our stay.

Not just somewhere to sleep but comfortable and spacious to spend time in. It was good to have a big bed for us and my son slept well in the other room too. We appreciated the milk and biscuits that were supplied for a cuppa on arrival. The files of information were also very helpful. We loved staying in brassington and hope to visit again, I would be happy to stay at dragon hill barn on any future visit

The lock to the patio area is very difficult to open, otherwise everything was excellent.

Lovely cottage in a pleasant village.

Everything you need in the cottage to make your stay comfortable.

We had a great time, visiting local places of interest and lots of great walks, helped with lovely weather.

The cottage was very comfortable with a good layout and position for seeing the great area.

Just came back from.

A week's holiday in Dragon's Barn it was wonderful.could not fault it, very cosy and very well stocked with everything you could want, apart from the weather which rained most of the week, will be back, also loved Brassington very friendly people, with a great pub just across the Road.

Fab will book again

This was an excellent property and one we really enjoyed.

It was clean, well set up and had everything we needed. Would highly recommend it

A really beautiful cosy cottage in an outstanding village.

All the booking and support offered was very good. I would love to stay here again.

Super stay, everything was great, especially the new sofas very comfy.

The problem with the TV was dealt with very quickly and all was fine. Had Sunday lunch at the Miners Arms, good because you could have small or normal portions, even the small was on the large size. Weather could have been better rained a lot but still went out each day. We would definitely recommend Dragon Hill Barn to our friends. Hope to be back again soon. Keith & Margaret

Excellent cottage, lovely location in a great village, lots of lovely walks nearby and a real home from home.

Pub up the road the Miners is very friendly, nice pub grub and a warm welcome.

We found the property cold when we arrived,the bedrooms were small and clostraphobic,the sofas in the property were well used.

Lovely cottage a good base to explore the area.

Had all the amenities we needed. Enjoyed visiting local pub with very friendly landlords a very short walk away. Also used fish chip takeaway van on the Wednesday evening very good fish chips and friendly service (need to pay with cash).

Dragon Hill Barn was just as described on the website.

There was everything that we could possibly have needed provided within the property - kitchen equipment, instructions to use appliances, lovely fluffy towels, comfy sofas and really good to have a Smart TV with a strong wifi signal and large screen. Brassington was a lovely village to be based in whilst walking within the Derbyshire Dales, and The Miners Arms (just up the hill) was a really friendly welcoming pub - which we went to most evenings!

A very well equipped comfortable cottage.

The wood burner was really good making it cosy. Lovely towels and bed linen. The cottage is set in a quiet village so it’s peaceful at night. Outside space is limited so there is only road parking but we didn’t have a problem with this.

Had a great stay at dragon hill .

We couldn’t fault the barn it had everything we needed. We would definitely return at some point as it was a great base for seeing the Peak District.

No complaints whatsoever regarding the property itself which was excellent.

The same cannot however be said of Sykes. We own two expensive e-bikes which are both large and fairly cumbersome. Before booking the property we liaised with Sykes re the bike storage facility advertised as available. We explicitly explained the size of our e-bikes and hence the need for a large storage facility. Sykes went away to verify for us. After checking it was categorically confirmed that there was a LARGE storage facility at the rear of the property. This is a complete fabrication of the truth, as we have now confirmed verbally with the property owner. The actual cycle storage would not even accommodate one of our e-bikes and the "storage" consists of purely a rainproof cover which attaches to the wall by two hooks. Perfectly adequate I'm sure for an average sized road cycle, but that was not what we stipulated when making our initial enquiry to Sykes. We couldn't have been clearer re our requirement. A complaint made to Sykes has resulted in them blaming "human error" which is completely unacceptable. We had taken the trouble to specify our cycle storage requirements. A check was made by them and categoric confirmation given to us that the cycle storage was more than adequate for our needs. Where does "human error" arise? I am still awaiting a reply to my latest message sent to Sykes last week requesting a further explanation as to how errors such as this are allowed to occur. Hopefully they will have the courtesy to respond.

Accommodation was one of the best we have stayed in.

It was equipped well and extremely cosy and comfortable. Location very accessible for lots of local places of interest and village itself was lovely.

Dragon Hill Barn is a lovely cottage exactly as described.

It was beautifully clean and well equipped. The location is excellent for getting out and about to explore the area. The owner was helpful and quick to respond when we had a question.

Excellent and clean property, top quality towels provided.

All areas are intelligently thought through and space is well thought out. Beds comfortable and the window & Shutter in the main bedroom is a clever touch. The village is, as expected, hilly. The local pub ‘The Miners Arms’ is to be strongly recommended, a lovely well run family pub with great simple food.

Lovely cottage enjoyed our stay very much.

Reasonable location. Close to a lovely pub.

Immaculately clean cottage.

Beautiful and quiet village, friendly staff at The Miners Pub. Location is excellent to explore the area. Thankyou.

The cottage was well appointed and had everything we could wish for to make our holiday a success.

It is in an area close to many attractions which meant we didn't have to do a lot of travelling to enjoy them. The village is a pretty one which we had a very interesting walk around and has two different pubs. which gave us a welcome in both and a super Sunday lunch in one.

We had a lovely stay at the cottage.

It is very comfy and very well equipped. The host is very nice and helpful. If you have a question you become your answer very quickly.
