How to get there
Directions to Albertine are as follows: from Bakewell follow the A6 in a northwesterly direction towards Buxton. After two miles, you bypass Ashford in the Water on the right, the road follows the course of the river for about another two miles and then starts to climb its way uphill through a wooded dale. Just about a ¼ mile before a section of dual carriageway begins you will see the signpost for Brushfield on your right. Take this single-track road up the hillside (ignore blue road sign that says unsuitable for motors – this is to deter mistaken Sat. Nav. drivers) and negotiate the rising hairpin bend. After ¼ mile you come to a Y junction. Bear left at this point, drive between the grit-stone gateposts and turn immediately right. Albertine Barn is the two storey converted barn on the left.
From Buxton follow the A6 in a southeasterly direction for about 5 miles. A section of dual carriageway bypasses the village of Taddington on your right. The turn off for Brushfield is signposted on the left about ¼ mile after the end of the dual carriageway section. (Continue as above).

Getting around
Ashford in the Water, just down the road from Brushfield, is a delightful traditional Derbyshire village with all the basic amenities including post office, village store / delicatessent, hotel, restaurant and public house. Enjoy a stroll by the river and across the Sheepwash bridge and be sure to visit the beautiful Church which dates back hundreds of years. Bakewell, capital of the Peak District is only a few miles away. Agriculture is still the basic activity and the Monday cattle market is one of the largest in the country. It is an attractive market town, so pop in for lunch, take a walk by the river, visit the Bakewell Pudding shop or do a little shopping, it’s well worth a visit!
