Little Hive (UK39430) is a gated property set within 40 acres, which is home to over 30 horses.

A gentle stroll from the doorstep you will find many facilities, both old and new, with numerous local shops, restaurants and amenities. Dronfield lies midway between the vibrant city of Sheffield and the historic market town of Chesterfield, on the outskirts of The Peak District. Historically, the town has great significance, and the Grade I listed Church of St John the Baptist is testament to this as it has stood at the centre of this community since the 12th century.
Situated between the Peak District National Park and the city of Sheffield, while close by is the historic town of Chesterfield which is most notable for its famous crooked spire of St Mary and All Saints Church. The impressive Damflask, Agden, Dale Dike and Ladybower dams make for an interesting afternoon’s ramble, while the attractive village of Hathersage, thought to be the inspiration for Charlotte Bronte’s ’Jane Eyre’, is also within easy reach and is home to a selection of shops, pubs and inviting eateries, plus an outdoor lido. There are many stately homes to visit including Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and Hardwick Hall, whilst the historic and ever popular town of Bakewell and the rest of the Peak District, are within a short drive.
These properties can be booked together to accommodate up to 6 guests.

Great place to stay particularly if you like horses.
Great place to stay particularly if you like horses. We were visiting our daughter so just a weekend stopover but we will go back again. 15 minute to Dronfield town centre and easy access to the Peak District NP.
