Ashbourne is a superb example of an English market town, having a market place with vendors, an odd street pattern, small cobbled lanes, coaching inns, and almshouses. It is located near the southern extremity of the Peak District. The town was a fashionable social centre in the 18th century, and many excellent Georgian structures from that era still stand today. The town still has a lot to offer in terms of restaurants and inns, and it's considered a haven for antique hunters - but don't anticipate a good deal! The Dove and Manifold Valleys are close by for people who want more outdoor activities. It'll just take you 20 minutes to go to Alton Towers.

Exceeded expectations, very welcoming and excellent value for money. A little more info re parking in the pre booking listing would have been helpful as I wasnât clear it was in nearby pay car park. However it all worked fine.

It has a lovely comfy bed with quality bedding, everything you require to stay in and cook, the welcome pack (milk, bread, choc-o-pains, butter, jam, coffee and tea) was appreciated, and even treats for our dog and towels to dry her when she came back wet from romping in the fields. Luxury toiletries in the bathroom, lots of fluffy towels and a bonus of an outdoor courtyard area to sit out and enjoy the rays. Even books, games and maps were provided and Netflix for those rainy times. The cottage is on a busy road, which can be noisy especially during the day, but the most of the time we were out exploring and there is no parking, but we managed to park for free on a quiet and safe street just up the road. Ashbourne is a gorgeous town, with lots of fabulous countryside right on the doorstep. We enjoyed lots of walks with our dog, visited Bakewell, Tissington, Ilam and scoffed and troffed in many of the local eateries and cafes. There was even a brass band playing in the local park. The locals were all friendly and had time to chat. Would we visit again - most definitely, would we stay at this little home away from home - YES! But ssshhhhhh, don't tell everyone as we want to return.
