What our customers say about their holidays

  This property is listed as a cottage as being on an equestrian centre, which was the sole reason we booked it.

  This is inaccurate.. The family apparently have a couple of horses and other animals, and that is it. The cottage is well situated to explore the county, but is totally unsuitable for elderly people with walking disabilities, and this should be emphasised on the cottage advert, as the front entrance has a high step, and to enter the kitchen there are three steps down and to go out into the rear lawn garden it is not only narrow but the lawn is sloped and was difficult to find a level patch to put our folding chairs. The cottage is well kitted out and comfortable, The TV definitely needs replacing with a larger model. We met Lois on our arrival, who was most welcoming. We did ask Lois about the equestrian centre on our arrival, and she informed us is wasn't one there were a couple of horses etc.. In conclusion we must say the cottage is ideally situated as a base to enjoy the surrounding county area, and we were blessed with good weather and choice of eateries.

  We, and our two dogs, thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Orchard cottage at Church Farm.

  Last September we stayed in the adjoining cottage and, once again, we received a warm welcome when we arrived. The property was ideal for our stay, it was clean, a very good size with a large kitchen/dining area and had all the necessary facilities for us to stay in, if the weather was bad. Luckily we had good weather and were able to make good use of the surrounding fields to walk the dogs. A great benefit are the ‘private’ gardens, one at the rear of each cottage, that are separated from a larger garden area which is ideal for the dogs to be able to have some freedom. The cottage is ideally situated just a short drive from Ashbourne which has all the necessary shops and some very good, dog friendly, pubs/restaurants. There are also some really good walks and places to visit close by being ideal to explore the South Peaks. We will certainly be visiting again in the future.

  The website doesn’t do justice to this little diamond of a cottage.

  We could not have been made to feel more welcome. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas and it was just PERFECT for the three of us and our two dogs. Gardens were very secure and we had everything we needed to clean them up after our long, very wet and muddy walks. Loved the little Laundry Room to wash and dry all our outdoor stuff too! Felt as if we were right out in the middle of the countryside, yet Ashbourne was only a very short drive away. The cottage could not have been cosier with its very efficient heating and log burner which made it even more pleasant to get “home” after our walks…. We didn’t really even notice that it hadn’t actually stopped raining at all on two of our five days there! Thank you for sharing your gem of a cottage!

  Orchard cottage is the perfect little getaway , set in a quiet rural location but close enough to local amenities .

  We were made to feel very welcome by the owner and she was knowledgeable on the area . Whilst there we used the log burner it soon makes the cottage toastie warm . We enjoyed family time playing games supplied with the cottage , around the fire , indulging in probably the best fish and chips we have had in years from the local queen's chippy . Personally I loved the roof windows and laying in bed looking up to the stars . It is just like home from home with everything you need ,. It's perfect for dogs the smaller back garden is extremely secure and opens onto a larger shared garden also secure so the dogs can have a mad half HR chasing around ,. We shall definitely be returning 100% x

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage.

  It was comfortable and in a fabulous location for the abundance of walks on offer in the surrounding area. The nearest town of Ashbourne was a five minute journey and Dovedale was just on the doorstep too. We were made to feel very welcome by the owners and the girls loved being able to take a peek at the horses in the stables. The garden was an added bonus for the dog, who also had access to a disused runway for his morning and evening walks. All in all we would recommend staying here and should we ever do a staycation again in the coming years, this would be in the top of our list. Thank you for a lovely stay.
