Church Barn, Ashbourne

We have stayed in many cottages over the years but can honestly say that the owners were the friendliest and most helpful we have ever come across. Super location, loads of walking from door and added bonus of pub just across the road serving good food!

the cottage is beautiful,and the garden is very private and lovely

very enjoyable stay hosts could not be more freindly and helpful great holiday

A first class cottage with a welcoming atmosphere, a lovely garden and with the owner next door a safe and secure feeling. The owner is friendly and helpful but keeps out of the way. The location is perfect for visiting the Peak district and ideal for just relaxing.

Small but beautifully formed. This cottage is perfect for two people to enjoy a wonderful holiday in fabulous surroundings. The owner Ken could not have been more helpful, everything worked and we relaxed completely. The walking is great both from the door and from a short drive away. We would not hesitate to recommend it.

The owner ,Ken, was very welcoming and explained all about the Barn, and what we could do around the location. An excellent holiday home for two and very well equipt. Well situated for exploring the surrounding countryside.

We were made extremely welcome on arrival by the owner Ken who quickly went through the salient points of the accommodation including how to work the log burning stove. However, despite the fact that we were there in November, the central heating in the barn was so effective we did not need to use the log burner. The barn, although not large, has been converted to a very high standard and is ideal for 2 people. It is situated in a lovely quiet spot with the village church on one side and a small field containing sheep on the other. A footpath leads directly from the property onto the Tissington Trail in one direction and the lovely village pub in the other. Ideally situated close to the pretty town of Ashbourne it is also perfect for anyone wanting a walking holiday in the glorious Peak District.

This is an excellent cottage, delightful with large garden space. A 'home from home'. Lovely hosts; informative, very helpful and we were their first 'Sykes' customer! Plenty of leaflets of places to go. Good local walks (Dovedale). There is nothing more to add; everything was first class.
