What our customers say about their holidays

• Gary - Verified booking

  Apartment is set above a shop directly in the centre of Ashbourne.

  The access is via a pin entry system and works well. The apt itself is extremely well appointed. Many fixtures and fittings are of a very high standard. The living area consists of a lounge dining area. There are smart TVs in both the lounge and bedroom and you can gain access to Netflix. The kitchen is of a very high standard with many quality integrated appliances (yes including a dishwasher and wine cooler). The bathroom, in line with the rest of the apt is very well appointed with a massive walk in shower with plentiful hot water. The bedroom has plenty of storage space with wardrobe (plenty of hangers) ,drawers and bedside tables. There are many sockets in order to charge any electrical items you may have. Also both the lounge and bedroom have air con......yes air con !!!!. You also have an allocated parking. Awaiting us on our arrival was a bottle of wine plus chocolates, a lovely touch and much appreciated. The owner was a great communicator and sent us all necessary details including a link to a youtube clip with directions to the carpark . As stated earlier its right in the centre of Ashbourne and therefore people who are light sleepers may experience some road noise. This however didn't affect us after many long days walking in the beautiful countryside. Ashbourne itself is a great base for many fantastic walks in the local area. To sum up, a great apt in a great area. Many thanks Jane for your hints & tips they were much appreciated

  Small but perfectly formed!

  Beautifully renovated apartment in the middle of Ashbourne, including private parking. Spotlessly clean with good quality furnishings. The living area has a very comfortable sofa and an armchair plus a small dining table. The kitchen is well equipped - induction hob, dishwasher and wine chiller all included! All basic cleaning items were provided and listed in advance which made packing so much easier. Super comfortable bed - this is the first time I can remember not longing to be back in my own bed! A bit of a tight squeeze getting round the bed but worth it for the comfort. Both the living area and the bedroom have air con. This is certainly a good thing as far as noise is concerned - the only downside of this apartment is the traffic noise, particularly if you live on a tiny cul de sac as we do where more than 2 cars an hour is heavy traffic! The bathroom has a lovely big shower, underfloor heating and a heated towel rail. I have never seen so much storage in a holiday rental, and it all looks like it should be there rather than the usual 'dump a cupboard here, a chest of drawers there' and never mind if they don't match. Overall a beautiful apartment with a really helpful owner (Jane) and much appreciated wine and chocolates waiting for us.

  We stayed for a week at Dovedale.

  It was the perfect location for Ashbourne with everything you could possibly need nearby - a great baker, a butcher, fruit and veg shop, plus a whole range of cafes and tearooms. The off road parking was very welcome, and we were no more than 30 minutes away from all the places we wanted to visit in the Peak District. The apartment itself was equipped with everything we needed. A wonderful rainfall shower in a beautiful bathroom with heated towel rail. A well appointed kitchen with wine chiller, dishwasher, induction hob plus underfloor heating which was very welcome in the mornings. The whole apartment was furnished to a very high standard with a comfortable sofa and armchair, a Smart TV, great wifi, plus a range of natural wood furniture. The bedroom had plenty of storage and a comfy bed. The owner contacted us with an information pack and provided wine and chocolates for our arrival. We absolutely loved staying at Dovedale, it was a fabulous place to relax, and we would highly recommend it as a great place for couples to stay. We would love to visit again.

  The property is nicely decorated, suitably laid out with a well equipped kitchen and bathroom, and spotlessly clean.

  It is also in a great location to walk to facilities in Ashbourne, or cycle into the Peak District. Inclusion of washing up liquid/dishwasher tablets, tea/coffee and Prosecco were appreciated. It is however let down by the bed which we found uncomfortable (which was not helped with the mattress being on upside down) and is also too large for the room, making it difficult navigate to the far side. Equally the the sofa, which is a sofa bed, is uncomfortable and the cushions do not stay in place. Though not something that can be changed, given the properties location, and inclusion of air con to allow windows to stay closed, we did find the level of external noise was greater than anticipated given we live on a relatively busy road (be it from local pubs at weekends nights, road noise from significant numbers of HGV's from early morning and a pedestrian crossing) this impacted our ability to fully relax.

  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.
