Situated in a rural hamlet in the heart of the Derbyshire Peak District National Park, our holiday cottages offer one of the best rural locations in the Derbyshire Peak District. Brushfield is on the Edge of Monsal Dale and lies on a sunny south facing hillside high above Taddington Dale.
Set in the midst of the beautiful Derbyshire Peak District, Middle Farm Holiday Cottages have outstanding views across open landscapes. It is an idyllic setting providing peace and tranquility. We have two holiday cottages. Maigold Cottage sleeps 4. Albertine Barn sleeps 8.
Approached along a quiet country lane and surrounded by fields and woodland our holiday cottages are hidden deep in the countryside, yet are central to all the attractions of the Derbyshire Peak District.
Middle Farm is an ideal location for those wishing to explore the rich diversity of life and landscape within the Derbyshire Peak District.
