About this property

This character, mid-terrace cottage sits in the highly desirable market town of Ashbourne. Set over three floors, Robin’s Nook is a great choice for those seeking a gateway to the Peak District while accessing the many amenities of Ashbourne. Upon arrival, step through the panelled front door into the kitchen/diner, equipped to a great standard, here you can utilise a range of appliances and gloss white units to prepare home-cooked meals, whether it be a delicious supper or a hearty breakfast. Continue to the first floor and discover the sitting room, here you can unwind upon the sofa as you reflect on the day’s events, or tune into the Smart TV and catch up on your favourite shows. A final set of stairs leads to the bedroom, home to a double bed and ample storage space, plus a well-appointed shower room where you can prepare for the day. On warmer days, take a refreshing beverage out to the enclosed courtyard, or find a local pub and enjoy a pint in the beer garden followed by some tasty grub. This classic market town is known as being a real haven for antique hunters, whilst the scenic Ashbourne Park is ideal for family picnics and afternoon strolls. Wander around the town and you might stumble across the marketplace, boasting medieval structures and plenty of wonder to explore, here you can expect to find a scatter of shops, bars and restaurants, an art gallery and a selection of cafes; ideal for socialising and local entertainment, providing you and your loved one hours of fun. Take yourself further afield and visit Matlock, home to the popular Peak Rail which journeys through dramatic scenery, visit the town of Bolsover, home to Bolsover Castle, Castle Leisure Park and Carr Vale Nature Reserve, with the unspoilt beauty of the Peak District is also not to be missed. However you choose to spend your precious holiday time, return to Robin’s Nook and recharge for the next adventure.

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 wasn’t 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.
