“The owners of Dragon Hill Barn provide a very comfortable and well equipped holiday cottage.”

The location is perfect for exploring Derbyshire Dales.

“Everything was brilliant about Dragon Hill Barn, we had a great holiday.”

We met the owners of the property by chance and they were lovely and could not be more helpful. So much to see and do in a beautiful part of the country.
Miss Osborne February 2019

“The owners of this cottage have done everything possible to make things more than comfortable here, everything you need is at hand .”

We had a fabulous weekend and will definitely make a return . Thank you

Mr Lawrence December 2018

“Great property, comfortable beds and good quality throughout.”

Nice extra touches with the Christmas tree and decorations.
Mrs Linares October 2018

“Very high standards throughout the cottage, lovely warm and cosy, great location in a lovely quiet village setting with local pubs, .”
Mrs Jasper September 2018

“This is a little gem of a barn conversion, it is well set out and very homely.”

The owners have thought of everything, even a cupboard full of books, toys, games, dvd's etc and since the mobile signal is poor, the owners have even supplied a main telephone. The village of Brassington is quaint and quiet, with the countryside all around, and is also very central for visiting locations within a sixty mile radius.
Mr Williams June 2018

“Stayed at dragon hill barn recently as going to RHS flower show at Chatsworth House, good location for visiting the many local attractions.”

The barn was really well equipped there was also a user friendly guide for use of the equipment, we enjoyed our stay very much and especially eating at the olde gate inn there was also good food and ice cream after enjoyable walks at Carsington Water. It was thoughtful of Rod to ring and check that all was okay with the barn it was much appreciated would definitely recommend to people visiting Derbyshire.
Mrs Mason June 2018

“We found that the owners had gone over and beyond what we would have expected, with all of the thoughtful little extras.”

In the kitchen, the bathroom and the system for finding local amenities etc. was simply incredible! Everything was immaculate, with very comfortable beds and sofas. We were very lucky to have beautiful weather and the barn was beautifully cool to come back to. We also very much appreciated the communication from both Sykes and the owners. I will put a recommendation on Trip Advisor. Margaret and Dorian West Sussex
Mr Callow June 2018

“Dragons barn is a very comfortable holiday place.”

We felt totally at home during our 2 week stay (16-6-18 / 30-6-18). House was very clean on our arrival. On our second week the owners of the property Rod and Liz provided clean bedding, towels and even more toilet rolls. Great communication by email with the owners too. I would definitely recommend this property. 5 stars. Kevin & Beverley
Mr Snelson April 2018

“Property, village and friendliness of owners totally first class”
Mrs Yates April 2018

“Be aware that there is no serve yourself shop at the miners pub and no food at the bar.”

The owner let us know about the pub food but still thought that you could get milk, bread and eggs from here.
Mr Donaldson March 2018

“I'd heartily recommend Dragon Hill Barn as a holiday cottage is you are wanting to be based very near to the south of the Peak District.”

Brassington is a pretty little village, and to the north very handy for Bakewell, the Monsal Trail, and Chatsworth. Also only a couple of miles from Carsington Water and the attractions in Matlock Bath. We'd recommend the food at Ye Olde Gate Inn in the village. The photos of the cottage don't actually do it justice I would say, I found the open plan kitchen and living room to be a lot bigger than they looked. The decor in the cottage is fresh, tasteful and full of nice little touches. They have thought of everything. Rod was a great host too, he deserves a mention - thanks very much Rod! We had a fantastic family holiday. Robbie
Mrs Groves March 2018

“We’ve stayed in many properties but this one just welcomed us in and we felt comfortable straight away.”

Of course the bottle of wine and Anniversary card left by the thoughtful owners helped as did the phone call from them to make sure we had settled in. Lots of little extra touches, shampoo and soaps, lovely fluffy towels,and gorgeous bed linen. Plenty of logs for the log burner. Great location for exploring the Peaks. Don’t leave without visiting the Old Gate pub just up the road if you want good food and a great atmosphere.
Mr Rennie February 2018

“Well they said it was going to snow and boy did it snow!”

The “Beast from the East” arrived in Brassington the same day as we did. Therefore we spent a lot more time in the barn as we planned. Dragon Hill Barn really is amazing. There is everything you could need and the place was spotlessly clean. The log burner kept us snug and warm while the snow fell heavily outside. There are 2 pubs in the village, The Miners is less than a minutes walk while The Old Gate is just a little further up the hill serving amazing food. Would love to return in the summer and visit all the places we couldn’t due to the bad weather!
Miss Cox February 2018

“The location was great, the cottage had everything we needed and more, and there were two pubs within two minutes walk!”

We had a lovely stay :)
Mr Angell December 2017

“Everything is provided, We arrived late evening, but they'd left the lights on, and a welcoming bottle of wine and some CHOCOLATES!”
Miss Randall November 2017

“This is our second time at the barn.”

Fantastic stay. The gate inn does fabulous food and great value for the high quality food. Close to Matlock bakewell Buxton Alton towers etc. The barn has everything you should need, the owners make sure you have a home from home setting. I'm sure we will return again in the future.
Mr Clayton October 2017

“We have never before been to a cottage which was so well equipped ( cake forks even) together with kitchen roll, tissues toilet rolls.”

Absolutely everything. Information from the owner was excellent. This is truly a 5-star property.
Mr Yeomans September 2017

“Superb cottage that the owners should be very proud of”
Mrs Rowlandson August 2017

“Well equipped cottage with everything you could need.”

Beautifully presented and a great location for exploring the area.

“A spotless and well presented barn conversion in a delightful vi”

Dragon Hill Barn is a well equipped and modern property, with parking immediately outside. It is warm and comfortable - the woodburning stove is very efficient and easy to use. Two pubs are close by, with the Gate Inn particularly recommended for its warm welcome, good beers and excellent food. The property is within a 30 minute drive of the major tourist attractions of the Peak District. Over the years we have stayed at many cottages, and invariably there is some fault somewhere. However, with Dragon Hill Barn there were none, and we will most certainly book again.
