Holmfirth also has a swimming pool and fitness centre, parks, shops and restaurants. The people are friendly, the streets are quaint and the scenery is breathtaking. The Peak District National Park with its moors, dales, forests, lakes and reservoirs is also accessible. The Upper Derwent Valley is only a short drive away. Slightly further is Chatsworth, the stately home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, and isclose to the market town of Bakewell, the home of Bakewell Puddings.

Sally
Perfectly described and beautifully clean. Very comfortable and homey. The views were amazing from all windows just a bit of a climb to get there is all. No problem with parking as the cottage has its own parking spot The owners were great and couldnât do enough to help . Would highly recommend.

All the essentials provided for a comfortable stay.Parking space is quite tight so if you have a large car or campervan you would be better parking down the hill on the main road.

It is a warm and cosy little gem tucked away on the hillside with great views over the Holme Valley. The cottage is very clean and comfortable and well equipped. Great walks from the door and also a regular bus service nearby so we didnât need to use the car all week. We highly recommend Bramble Cottage. Thankyou to Katie and Mark for a memorable week and we look forward to returning again soon .
