A lovely home. A short walk from the local restaurants, cafes, bars and shops. Perfect location for exploring the Derbyshire Peak District. Comfortable well equipped holiday home. Lovely break.

A wonderfully relaxing week in a very comfortable cottage. We enjoyed the views across the valley from the living room and the gentle sound of the church bells in the distance. And Ashbourne itself is lovely - plenty to see and do on the doorstep.
