  Such a lovely, cosy cottage!

  My husband, brother, brother-in-law and I had to make last minute Christmas plans, and we could not have chosen a better place to spend our Christmas! The cottage was just as expected from the photos on the listing and even nicer once inside as the place was decorated for Christmas with little decorations here and there and a tree in the living. There was even a Christmas card and a box of chocolates awaiting our arrival, which was a very lovely touch indeed. The kitchen was so well equipped, we had no trouble preparing anything at all and we had lots of space to store things. The fridge was quite small, but for 4 people with rather large appetites for Christmas food that needs to be stored in the fridge, that's on us and our choice of foods really! The bathroom and bedrooms upstairs were very comfortable and spacious with good light and just as depicted in the photos. Two things I will say: We first arrived in the evening when it was very dark and found the cottage a bit tricky to locate, as the map shown for the location didn't match the written instructions we were sent. But we managed it and made it into the cottage in the end! The height of the doorways and the ceilings downstairs could be problematic for anyone that might be rather tall. 3 out of 4 of us are quite short so we had no trouble, but my brother (the tallest of the group, around 6ft) had to duck under the doorways throughout the cottage, but once in the rooms themselves he was just fine! Overall, it was a truly wonderful and very comfortable stay and we'd absolutely love to book again!

  Milldale in Ashbourne is the best self catering property we have stayed at.

  The accommodation was super clean and really well decorated throughout, and in pristine condition, very comfortable. The kitchen and bathroom had all the latest fittings and equipment and was like new, underfloor heating in both! Really efficient heating from a combined aircon / heater unit, together with a couple of separate oil filled rads if it got very cold. Everything worked, the knifes were sharp, and no curtains hanging by a one hook which you find in many places you stay…..Faultless. You enjoy your own parking space immediately next to the entrance door so never a panic if there is going to be a space. Communication with Jane the owner was excellent throughout and she was quick to reply and helpful with any queries I had. Location is right in the town centre overlooking the market square, there are loads of restaurants, pubs, coffee shops to suit every pocket all within just a few minutes walking distance. I cannot praise the accommodation highly enough and will certainly give it 10/10…..I would definitely like to revisit in one of the warmer months.

  "Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful" William Morris.

  Well that would most certainly apply to Ladycroft Barn. The tasteful and thoughtfully renovated barn is an absolute haven and care has gone into every single aspect to ensure it is useful or beautiful (and mostly both). The grounds are outstanding and were a constant delight moseying around or simply admiring from the house. Cloudless nights provide extra sparkle as the secluded location equals limited light pollution. The barn is ideally situated for trips to Chatsworth, Wirksworth, Matlock, Tissington and so many other fabulous areas within Derbyshire. Just when you thought the property, could not be any more perfect, there is also the wonderfully welcoming hosts, Annie and Peter who clearly and rightly are proud of what they have achieved with the barn and are so happy to share the joys and peacefulness it has to offer. Twelve out of ten :-)

  What can I say about Milldale?

  It's difficult to find enough superlatives. The apartment was immaculate, spotlessly clean, very well equipped, furnished to a very high standard (everything seemed brand new) and incredibly comfortable. It overlooks the main square in Ashbourne and we spent many happy hours people watching. The pleasure of having our own guaranteed parking space cannot be overstated. We rarely needed to use the car because shops and cafes were within walking distance. The owner supplied detailed instructions and even a video to ensure we easily found the property. Guests need to be aware that the apartment, accessed via private entrance, is on the first floor. The stairs are quite steep so heavy luggage is a challenge. However, that should certainly not put anyone off. It's just something to be aware of. We are intending to book again for September.

  Very much enjoyed our stay.

  The apartment was scrupulously clean, which was reassuring during covid times. There was a thoughtful welcome gift in the form of wine and chocolates which after a dreadful journey up the M5 and M6 was very much welcomed on arrival. Everything is just as pictured with all necessities provided, excepting a washing machine. The weather during our stay was muggy and the aircon provided was essential and made things comfortable as the flat doesn't have much in the way of natural ventilation. There are quite a few stairs but this is clearly shown in the pictures and they are not difficult or awkward to climb. Ideally situated within a stone's throw of some nice cafes and pubs. I would thoroughly recommend this lovely apartment.
