Perfectly positioned in the town of Ashbourne within easy walking distance to the town centre and the Tissington trail is literally just across the road with Sainsbury's nearby. Liberty House was cosy and quirky with everything you needed (with the exception of a dustpan and brush) the log burner was lovely!

It's the second time we have stayed in Liberty House and it is perfect for a holiday in the Derbyshire Dales. The kitchen is well equipped; the large cooker is particularly impressive. It is also very useful that there is a utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer and a washing line outside. The little yard with table and chairs is perfect for a glass of wine after a long day's cycling. It is very charmingly furnished and decorated and the beds and sofas are very comfortable; can't really recommend it highly enough.
