School View Cottage is a delightful spacious and well equipped property and easily accommodates six adults and three children (and a dog). The kitchen is the central dining hub area for all to meet, with two separate lounge with TVs for those who wanted a quieter area.

All bedrooms are more than adequate with the master bedroom with an en-suite, and the remaining four bedrooms access to a family bathroom and a couple of showers. The property is in Brassington village which has a couple of pubs and easily accessible to local amenities- Heights of Abraham, Dovedale and Chatsworth. Hide

Great cottage in a quiet little village. EXACTLY as described, it met all our expectations. Local pub (Old Gate Inn) does good food at a fair price. Would recommend this property all day long. Excellent!

Lovely comfortable cottage. We liked the kitchen/diner with the wood burner. Great having a downstairs bedroom and bathroom. Great location. Recommend the Old Gate Inn within easy walking distance for good food. However, the heating was an issue if you are wanting to stay in the winter months and 2 of the bedrooms were very cold.
