Escape to the Peak District National Park
A great house, well laid out with great amenities and ideal location to get in to Buxton and surrounding areas.

Home with HotTub near AltonTowers & Waterworld sot
We had a great stay. The hot tub was lovely and the location was perfect for everything we wanted to do. We would definitely book again.

Hot Tub, Swimming Pool & Hay Loft in Peak District
We had a great 2 day stay, were made very welcome and everything explained perfectly. The kids really enjoyed the pool, however, the hot tub location is around a very windy corner and away from the house, so we didn't use it. The location is definitely a place to totally relax and unwind with lots of space to enjoy just being together with family or friends. The kitchen facilities were fantastic, everything you could ever need! Even a lovely home made cake for our arrival. Host was readily available to answer any questions and advice regarding places to visit. Clean towels and pool towels were provided beds and linen were of good quality and very comfortable. We will definitely consider another visit.

Luxury newly converted oak cottage
We had a great stay at Sam’s place for a friends holiday, the cottage was spacious for 8 of us plus one infant with plenty of parking available. The surroundings are beautiful and there were some lovely walks directly from the cottage. Sam was really responsive to any questions we had. We also organised a grocery food delivery for our arrival which worked really well so would recommend to others too! The hot tub was excellent and the cottage felt very private considering the buildings around it. Would highly recommend so thank you! ☺️

Really good host good communication and really good place to stay. Very handy to stay in if going to the airport. Safe and east to get in and out on check out. Worth the money

Brink Shepherds Lodge | Stunning Valley Views
We had such a lovely time in the shepherds hut and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone who wanted a perfect view from their bed - with ponies grazing in the field and corvids flying the strong sky thermals Amazing walks directly from the hut are such a bonus and very much welcomed This is the perfect place to reset / rewind/ reconnect Fab shower and super hot water which is wonderful Thankyou Kath for your help and availability We will be back

'Combs Head' - The perfect relaxing getaway
Ita is a brilliant host, very friendly and responds very quickly! The accommodation is lovely and set in the most perfect location surrounded by beautiful scenery. The two nights I booked were not enough!

Self-Catering, Log Burner, Cosy, Peak District
We really enjoyed our stay here in Holymoorside. It really is a lovely, peaceful place and we had absolutely everything we needed. Everything was clean and tidy. The owners were very friendly and helpful. This is a great place for walks and this is one of our favourite things to do. This is a top quality place to stay and one of the best AirBnbs we have stayed in. Highly recommended.

Your guide to Ashbourne
Welcome to Ashbourne
Independent stores and antiques shops mark the Derbyshire town of Ashbourne as an unusually cosmopolitan enclave amid the craggy limestone landscapes of the southern Pennines. Lying on the southern edge of Peak District National Park, it’s considered the gateway to the Dovedale Valley, admired for its picturesque stepping stones crossing the River Dove. As such, it’s the perfect base for outdoor adventuring — yet its urban draws shouldn’t be overlooked. An appealing mishmash of historic buildings lend character, from 17th-century almshouses and old coaching inns to Georgian townhouses. Many are now occupied by contemporary coffee shops and delis. High-spired St. Oswald’s Church dates back to the 13th century, as does the market, which continues to burst into life twice weekly. What’s more, Derbyshire’s finest stately homes, including Hardwick Hall, Sudbury Hall, and opulent Chatsworth House, are all within easy reach.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Ashbourne
As it’s close to so many cities, the Peak District gets busy every sunny weekend of the year. Ashbourne, being a little off-radar, doesn’t get too swamped, but ideally you’d avoid booking cottages during school summer holidays, when hordes descend on popular spots. Springtime is lovely, especially May, when the ancient Derbyshire tradition of well dressing sees village wells decorated with pictures made of flower petals. Come in February for Shrove Tuesday and you’ll be treated to a taste of local culture like no other, as the whole town explodes into action for the Royal Shrovetide Football Match. This two-day event has been held annually for centuries, with thousands taking part. The game pits one half of the town (the Up’ards) against the other (the Down’ards), with the goals spaced 4.8 kilometres apart.
Top things to do in Ashbourne
Tissington Trail
Whether you run, walk, or cycle it, this 21-kilometre path is great for getting some fresh air. From the former railway station at Ashbourne, it travels first through a 600-metre Victorian tunnel and runs north into the gorgeous Derbyshire Dales, following the old track bed of a long-gone railway line that linked the town to Buxton. The mainly flat route ends at Parsley Hay, where it connects to the 27-kilometre High Peak Trail.
Ashbourne Gingerbread
A sense of the town’s long history is not only tangible, but edible. Be sure to try a nibble of the local gingerbread, made here since the Napoleonic Wars when a French prisoner of war apparently passed the recipe to a local baker. The original timber-framed gingerbread shop can still be seen on St. John Street.
Rural villages
A few kilometres north are some splendid rural villages, including Tissington, where pretty stone cottages huddle around a Jacobean manor; Ilam, on the River Manifold and home to the National Trust’s Ilam Hall; and sleepy Parwich, backed by limestone hills.
