The beautiful wooded hamlet of Ramshorn is just a 20 minute walk from the pedestrian entrance of the ever-popular Alton Towers. Britain's number one theme park, Alton Towers has rides and attractions aimed at everyone. And at the Alton Towers Resort, the fun continues all year round at the fabulous waterpark at Cariba Creek, the Alton Towers Spa (Pamper Day packages available), or by enjoying a round of Extraordinary Golf. With so much going on and regular seasonal events, the Alton Towers resort is a fabulous day out, no matter what the time of year, and so conveniently close to the Ramshorn wood. Once you've had your fill of the thrills and spills, head for the nearby lovely market town of Ashbourne, with its eccentric street plan and narrow cobbled alleys, which features an array of delightful antique stores and a choice of good pubs and restaurants. Attractions like Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, Dovedale, and the fantastic Derbyshire Villages Ilam, Hartington and Tissington - famous for the well dressings - are also within easy reach. The area offers so much variety in the way of outdoor pursuits - hire bicycles to take advantage of the region’s many famous cycle trails, relax with a round of golf on one of the superb courses, have a go at rock-climbing or pot-holing, or swap two legs for four and see this beautiful part of the country from horseback. Alternatively, take advantage of the many wonderful walks for all abilities which criss-cross the spectacular Peak District and Derbyshire Dales countryside. The perfect destination for all ages.

Previous visitors' comments about Birchwood House:
Able to have 8 adults and 5 small children plus a dog together, comfortably under the same roof. The hot tub was an added bonus.
Mrs Moore, Bristol, February 2012
We loved the property and the location - so picturesque. The living room was great and the wonderful table fit all of us so comfortably. The pictures on the website really don't do this place justice - very quaint!
Dr Sfeir, Manchester, January 2012
This house is amazing - cosy yet big enough to house 15 adults without feeling cramped. Our party ranged from 20 to 94 years old! If you have elderly guests with lower mobility, the wet room bathrooms and downstairs bedrooms could not be better. The kitchen facilities made it easy to make and serve several meals for 15 and there is more than enough fridge and storage space etc. The surroundings are beautiful and the hot tub is a lovely bonus!
