“A lovely, cosy cottage in a beautiful location.”

We loved having a duck nesting under our window and the visiting peacock who peered in at us in the mornings. There are lots of lovely walks straight from the front door for anyone who loves walking or who has a dog. We felt very welcome and hope to stay there again in the future.

Ms Turnpenney October 2020

“This was a lovely cottage in a beautiful area.”

It had a well stocked kitchen and a nice, secure garden which is always useful when you have a dog. The owner was helpful, friendly and available when we had a query. We particularly liked the situation of the cottage as we could walk into lovely countryside from the door and there are lots of places to go and lots of local footpaths. Our only concern were the two single beds which weren’t comfortable and were squeaky. Maybe near the end of their lives.

Mr Albrighton October 2020

“Comfortable cottage, well equiped, plenty of walks direct from the cottage.”

Lady owner very friendly and helpful. The Shire Horse pub just a short walk away also very good and friendly, excellent menu.

Miss Pheasant August 2020

“Only problems were it was very cold on the first night.”

Could maybe do with putting heating on before guests arrive when it’s cold and the hot water was not good either. Other than that it was great, clean, friendly host and very cosy. Perfect for our family.

Mr Dean November 2019

“We use Sykes because we take our 3 cats on holiday with us.”

This cottage provided us with the tranquility in its remote location, safe countryside for the cats to explore in and owners who understood our needs and accommodated us perfectly, Located between Ashbourne and Derby the cottage is an ideal base for exploring the Peak District and Staffordshire.

- Mr Dean, November 2019
Mrs Brooks August 2019

“We had a wonderful week in this clean, comfortable cottage (party of 3).”

We had 2 greyhounds with us that we aren't able to walk off lead so the secure garden with high hedging/fencing was ideal for them. Mrs Blake was extremely welcoming and helpful and the cottage location was perfect for many local attractions. We hope to return. Thank you for a great stay.

Taylor March 2019

“Stayed in the cottage just for a mini getaway in the middle of March.”

The description did not disappoint. Directions were great and just off the A515. Location was brilliant for the local pub, local walks, a trip to Dovedale, Dimmingsdale walks and a trip into Ashbourne for tea and cake while I left hubby to watch the last day of the Six Nations Rugby!!. Cottage had everything we needed. The enclosed garden was secure to let our dog run in and out. In the evenings when the weather turned very slowly and rainy we put the log fire on and out our feet up. Thank you to Mrs Lynch for making us welcome.

“The cottage was everything we hoped for.”

It was warm and cosy with the lovely open fire which was great as it snowed. It was spotlessly clean,well equipped and all the linens and furnishings were of the best quality.

“Perfect Cosy Cottage in the Peak District”

Wonderful cosy cottage with everything we needed for the perfect New Years Eve get away. Beams, brick fireplace & very peaceful. We spent four days enjoying lovely local walks (the Peak District is so beautiful) The Tissington Trail & the local pubs! Amazing food & friendly service at The Shire Horse, less than five minutes walk from cottage, dogs welcomed! Coach & Horses at Fenny Bentley also one of our favourites. We loved relaxing in front of the open fire & so did our Jack Russell & Labrador! Lovely, friendly owner lives next door in a stunning farm house & is on hand if you need anything & was very welcoming. We very much appreciated the Happy New Year card & bottle of Prosecco awaiting us on our arrival, very thoughtful touches. The cottage was beautifully decorated with Christmas decorations, there was a full scuttle of coal & basket of logs, there was even milk in the fridge for us. Cottage is situated on a beautiful farm with plenty of parking right next to the door. Very impressed indeed & thoroughly enjoyed our stay, can highly recommend.

Mr Fountain July 2016

“Our daughter and her partner had one cottage and my wife and I had the other, so the communal garden worked perfectly for us and our dogs.”

The garden was fully enclosed, which is brilliant to just be able to let the dogs out at any time. Loved the fire, with enough fuel provided for the week. Owner was great, and Ashbourne is on the doorstep. We love the area and the people, so thanks for a great holiday. Only problem is we need another one to get over all the walking!!

“Wonderful Setting”

Church Farm Cottage is a delightful cottage in an ideal location if you want peace and yet not far from the local attractions. The cottage is very cosy with an open fire to make the evenings even more so. The facilities in the cottage are excellent throughout. The owners live in the farm house and can't do enough for you and only appear if you need something. Our two dogs were made very welcome as well. We were minutes from Ashbourne for shops as the village itself consists of a handful of houses. The pub is a 5 minute walk and serves very good food with a friendly atmosphere. All in all a great place to stay.

“Pet friendly and peaceful.”

A delightful, cosy cottage ideal for a peaceful break. Our dogs were made to feel very welcome. Situated on a farm, there were lots of places to walk and a very good pub serving excellent food was within walking distance. The addition of coal and other fire making materials made the cottage warm and cosy once the night set in. The Dales are only a short drive away along with quaint market towns that have quirky shops and lots of cafes.

About the location

EDLASTON

Ashbourne 3 miles.

Edlaston is a lovely rural hamlet just 3 miles from the beautiful market town of Ashbourne. Lying at the southern end of the Peak District, Ashbourne is a perfect example of a Derbyshire market town - there is a market place with stalls, an eccentric street plan, narrow cobbled alleys, coaching inns and almshouses. In its heyday in the 18th Century, the town was a fashionable social centre and many fine Georgian buildings remain from this period. Today the town still has much to offer in terms of restaurants and inns and is regarded as something of a haven for antique hunters - but don't expect a bargain! For those who prefer more outdoor pursuits, the Dove and Manifold Valleys are close by. Alton Towers is just 20 minutes away.
