About this property

Beautiful rural setting in the Heart of the Peak District

Albertine is a 2 floor barn conversion providing an elevated position with stunning views across the valley.

Brushfield lies on the edge of a limestone plateau area dissected by the spectacular Monsal Dale and Miller's Dale making it a walkers and bikers paradise. Many varied circular walks can be planned straight from doorstep so you have a chance to park up your car and get those legs working throughout your whole stay!

Middle Farm is situated on a sunny south-facing hillside high above Taddington Dale. The farm lies in the midst of some of the finest scenery and walking country in the Peak District. Monsal Dale is literally just around the corner and Millers Dale is only a short walk away.

The cottages are surrounded by fields and woodland and offer diverse fauna and flora whatever the seasons. It is a bird watchers delight with frequent visitors including nut hatches, great spotted woodpeckers, long tail tits, tree creepers, buzzard, sparrow hawk and tawny owl as well as the usual common species.The newly opened cycle trails and tunnels along the former railway line are easily accessible from this base.

For the less active it is an ideal central location for visiting all the major attractions in Derbyshire including Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, Buxton Opera House, Bakewell, Lathkill Dale and all the numerous picturesque villages in the area.The area around Brushfield has been farmed since Neolithic times. Middle Farm was formerly a tenanted holding under the Duke of Devonshire's Chatsworth Estate.

The owners live in the nearby farmhouse and whilst respecting guests privacy and independence are pleased to offer any help or advice.

Four seasons in one week.
Wonderful week, in a wonderful location with my wonderful family. We couldn't have asked for more. The accommodation was first rate. The large kitchen and lounge coped easily with our large group. The quiet presence of the hosts and their helpfulness was really appreciated. I'd certainly recommend this venue.

Well equipped barn in lovely location
Long weekend with family, including grandchildren. Steep hill off A6 to reach cottages but well located for walks and local attractions. Property very clean and well equipped for self catering. Three bathrooms and bedroom configuration ensured all family members were catered for. Linen etc provided was good quality and clean. Heating comes on twice per day and was OK even though it was cold weather. Additional heater to supplement heating in lounge would be an advantage as it is a large room which warmed up during the day due to passive heat from the sun. Would all like to return and explore the area further from this lovely accommodation.

Albertine Barn Christmas 2015
We spent Christmas 2015 in the Albertine Barn and had a lovely time. The barn had everything we needed and the kitchen and lounge were a great size for 6 adults and a toddler with a few extra family who came for Christmas dinner. Julie & Brian were very welcoming and on hand for questions during our stay and also before we arrived. The location is great, in between Buxton and Bakewell and a short 10 min drive to either. The setting is beautiful with fantastic views over the Peak District. We hope to return soon.

Why they chose this property

We discovered Brushfield in 1999 and decided that this was the place we wanted to live because of its spectacular location in the heart of the Peak District. It's in a great rural setting, surrounded by fields and woodland, off the beaten track - yet close to all the amenities and attractions of the area. Initially our children loved it, because of the space and amenities it had. In their teens it was too quiet for them and we were constantly taxiing them around to their social engagements! More recently they love coming back with their friends and partners, to enjoy the qualities that attracted us in the first place!

What makes this property unique

Stunning rural location, superb views giving us peace, fresh air and space. Modern conversion that has sympathetically retained traditional features. In heart of Peak Park and easy access to all attractions. Allows us to indulge in the outdoor activities that we so enjoy.
