"Fabulous place to stay."
Very comfortable and everything we could have wished for. Lovely hosts and superb location.

"This is one of the best kept holiday lets I have ever stayed in!"
It is so cosy and well-cared for and has everything you could need. We stayed with family friends of ours, and our 4 children, and we found it worked perfectly for us. It was really handy having plenty of bathrooms and toilets and there was also lots of storage and space to keep luggage, coats, wellies etc. The children loved exploring the garden, but I would say it’s not ideal for toddlers and very young children because it’s not all visible from the house and has a small stream at the bottom. The owners of the property are so lovely; they provided lots of helpful info about the area too. It’s within easy walking distance of Carsington water and is very well-located for visiting other parts of Derbyshire. Chatsworth House is stunning and well worth the entry fee and I would highly recommend walking along Stangage Edge if you want the picture postcard stunning views over the peaks. We found Derbyshire to be one of the most welcoming and beautiful counties we have visited and we will certainly return! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

"Perfect! A family weekend away to celebrate a 'big' birthday and what a fantastic property to stay in."
Superb location - quiet and peaceful. Fabulous rooms with excellent facilities - there were 8 of us and it never felt crowded at all. A wonderful experience all round - we would certainly re-book!

"A beautiful property, spacious and well appointed."
We had 7 of us staying and never felt on top of each other, and the kids had great fun exploring and playing in the grounds. The owners Kate and Adrian were very welcoming and friendly and, as a previous review stated, struck a perfect balance of being around to deal with any queries/issues (or just have a chat!) without being obtrusive. Highly recommended and thankyou for a wonderful stay!
-

"Beautiful cottage in a nice quiet location."
Everything was there that we needed for our weekend. Directions to the property where good,. Ashbourne, Matlock and Bakewell are all within 30 mins drive of the property. The Red Lion pub is a short walk up the drive and the food was excellent.
-
"Green Farm Stables is a pretty property in the heart of the countryside, moments from walks to Carsington Water and also the local pub."
Kate and Adrian, the owners, couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. The spaces inside and outside the property were immaculate, comfortable and spacious, and the kitchen was well equipped. WiFi was excellent.
-
"Great location."
Adrian and Kate very welcoming and on hand if any help required. Village pub just a few minutes walk - good food and a nice pint.
-
"Certainly one of the best rented properties we have had in the UK."
Met all our requirements for a family group including a toddler. Attentive owners, unobtrusive, but on hand if needed. Set in a lovely village but secluded.
-
"A beautiful house with everything we needed."
Thank you for a lovely Christmas holiday despite the rain!
-

Owners friendly and on hand.

"We were extremely impressed with this property and would not hesitate to recommend it to others."
The owners (next door) were very friendly and helpful. Cleanliness and facilities at the property could not have been better. The weather, ideal, just completed a magic family weekend.

Excellent location well maintained. A most enjoyable stay…. Would be very happy to return.

"Had a wonderful break in this lovely cottage."
Well located for all our trips out. The stables was very well equipped , plenty of hot water for showers and bath. Beautiful surroundings. Lovely walks to experience. Would thoroughly recommend a stay.
-
"A wonderful place to stay and very helpful owners that provided detailed information about local activities/attractions."
-
"Green Farm stables was a lovely place to stay, a 15 minute walk from the picturesque Carsington Water."
The owners were friendly and welcoming. There was lots of space in the house and it was well equipped. There was also a large, pretty outdoor area. Well situated for local attractions and excursions.
-
"Spacious property that caters well for the occupants of three double bedrooms and a ground floor twin."
Plenty of parking on site. Rural location within reasonable reach of places to visit by car. Very approachable and helpful on-site owners. Limited ceiling height for anyone over six foot.
-
"A beautiful cottage; clean, comfortable and with plenty of room for all of our family."
It was really well equipped with many thoughtful touches. We particularly liked the outdoor space and spent many hours sitting outside watching and listening to the birds. The cottage was in an ideal location.There was plenty to do nearby. It was also nice to be able to set off for lovely walks and pub lunches straight from the door ( leaving the car behind sometimes was a real plus!) The owner, Kate, was friendly and helpful and the information provided in the cottage was excellent. We had a wonderful week at Green Farm Stables and would love to return!
-
"Green Farm Stables is a lovely cottage in a very peaceful village (Hognaston)."
The accommodation was clean and tidy, well furnished and appointed with some interesting pictures and other items. The owners , Kate and Adrian were very friendly and accommodating to our needs as we were not visiting on holiday but to see a very sick relative. They made our stay a lot easier. The best pub we visiting in the vicinity ( 6 miles) was the Tiger Head at Turnditch? Very nice food.
-
"Excellent space."
Comfortable beds. Good facilities in the kitchen area. Very clean when we arrived. Hosts were very welcoming. The living room furniture is a bit dated and not the most comfortable. Also one of the bedrooms upstairs has a mezzanine floor (which we didn't realise but can't be accessed) that has windows with no curtains so is very light, especially for young children to sleep in. But otherwise we had a wonderful stay and the location was fantastic.
Thank you so much for your feedback. We note your comments about the light bedroom, and are planning to address that, although it's not quite as straightforward as you might think. Also with respect to the living room furniture, we have already been looking for suitable sofas that look good, but can also take some wear and tear. So we hope to address that soon as well. We are very pleased you had a wonderful stay, and we do hope you come again. Thankyou, Kate and Adrian Property Owner

"Really lovely holiday home."
plenty of space, and beautiful inside with all the facilities one could need. particularly liked the large kitchen with big dining table and the outside areas and lovely gardens. A very minor detail but would have been good to have a washing up cloth or sponge as we didn't think to bring one. Would have been great if one of the double rooms was a twin rather than a double but appreciate each group has slightly different needs. we also knew this would be the case when we booked and we really enjoyed our stay - thanks.
-
"Fantastic stay, family get together for a week, 6 adults and 1 baby."
Couldn't fault our stay 10/10, even the weather was good for the week and we were able to make use of the patio.
-
"An extremely comfortable cottage in a beautiful location - very quiet and peaceful."
We found Kate and Adrian to be helpful and friendly without being over close. The cottage was warm and cosy in a very cold snap.
-
"Absolutely perfect in every way"
-
"Squeaky door into utility room."
Clearer description of where general refuse is.
-
"Kate and Adrian have a lovely cottage, We stayed in the stables, could not fault it at all, location wise it is so picturesque… just a short walk from Carsington water, which we walked around."
. ending up in the local pub (red lion) The cottage was lovely inside, very clean, with the the amenities you could need! Very spacious and very comfortable Thank you for having us
-
"Excellent cottage, lovely comfy beds and all the facilities you could wish for."
Adrian and Kate were on hand if required, but did not intrude. The village is so picturesque and within easy reach of lots of days out in the surrounding area. There is also a path leading to Carsington Water within easy walking distance from the doorstep. We had a superb holiday, myself, Daughter and Son-in-Law and 4 grandchildren. Would highly recommend and would love to return in the future. Thank you Adrian and Kate for sharing your wonderful cottage.
-
"The Stables is so much more than a holiday home."
Wonderfully furnished and equipped it's 'home from home'. Adrian and Kate are great hosts, friendly and approachable. Four generations of our family spent a great long weekend there and the house met all our needs. Only one thing - although there is a ground floor bedroom there is no accessible bathroom for a disabled guest. Kate said this would be remedied for next year. Would love to go back again for a full week as so much to see and do in the area. Definitely recommend Green Farm Stables.
-
"The quiet location within beautiful gardens suited us."
A lovely spot within a short walk of the village pub. The hosts Kate and Adrian were very welcoming and provided lots of helpful information.
-
"Very clean and comfortable cottage in an excellent village location."
-
"Beautiful, really well equipped house in a beautiful setting."
Kate and Adrian were lovely and very accommodating owners and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Green Farm Stables.
-
"The cottage was in a wonderful setting and close to many of the Peak District attractions."
It was well equipped and very comfortable with plenty of room for a large family gathering. Kate and Adrian were close by to solve any problems including rescuing toys from the roof! A very enjoyable holiday.
-
"Green Farm Stables was the perfect place to celebrate my 70th birthday with my children and grandchildren."
The first two days were spent at Alton Towers and the rest of the week, exploring the surrounding countryside and Carsington Water - perfect. The accommodation was immaculate and so well equipped. Kate and Adrian couldn't have been more helpful. We stayed in the Stables but there is also a one bed cottage attached to the farmhouse. We may well return for a more sedate break without the grandkids!!
Thank you for your kind feedback! We love having families to stay, and were delighted that you had such a good time here. Alton Towers sounded lots of fun, and you have our greatest respect for going on the Oblivion ride! We hope you will come and stay again, with or without the “gang”. All the best, and thank you again, Kate and Adrian Property Owner
-
"With 6 adults and two children, it was a perfect place to meet up for a long delayed family reunion."
A lovely cottage, great location, peaceful, near to the pub! the two boys loved the garden. We'll be back..
Thank you for your feedback. We are very pleased that you had a great family holiday – we like to think that Green Farm Stables is a good spot for a reunion, with lots of space both indoors and out. And we are very relieved that the beer in our pub got the thumbs up from an expert! Thank you again, Kate and Adrian Property Owner
-
"Really nice property, owners were lovely too."
Enough space for 8 people.
Thank you for your feedback. The comfort and facilities scores are a little bit disappointing, but we had thought that the listing was fully accurate, and having read through it again, are still wondering where we have got it wrong! Would you kindly drop us a quick email with any specific mistakes so we can put them right as soon as possible? Thank you again, Kate and Adrian Property Owner
-
"Absolutely wonderful cottage, both in terms of its location and its facilities."
The owners were friendly and helpful without being obtrusive. It really was quite perfect. Lots to do in the area but set in a very quiet location.
Thank you Pam! We are delighted that you had a lovely holiday, and it was a pleasure to have you staying here. We live in hope that there may still be a little Easter egg hidden in the garden somewhere, left over from your Easter Egg Hunt! The mystery of the missing potato masher remains unresolved, but we have bought a nice new one for the kitchen. Thank you again, Kate and Adrian Property Owner

"Wonderful place and lovely owners ."
Felt quite at home x
-
"We had a fantastic time from start to finish."
The cottage and it’s facilities are excellent. It’s beautifully clean and well organised. The setting is perfect for walks, countryside and a fab local pub. We loved our stay and will certainly be back.
-
"A fantastic stay, would love to visit again."
-
"Kate and Adrian have such a lovely property here that I would really like to keep it a secret."
Beautifully presented, clean and well equipped. Stunning location within easy walking distance of both Carsington reservoir and the village (read pub). You'll also be hard pushed to find more amenable hosts. We would definitely return.
-
"This well presented cottage is delightful there is everything you need to have a wonderful holiday."
The owners who live on site are lovely they are close but not intrusive and very helpful. We all had a great few days and we all wanted to stay longer we would recommend this cottage to everyone without hesitation thank you so much and we will be back.
-
"Lovely, warm, friendly cottage."
Well appointed and equally well positioned in central Derbyshire. Loved it.
-
"Lovely well equipped cottage."
The hosts were on hand if you needed anything and were both lovely people. The cottage had everything we needed and more (Christmas Tree).
-
"A lovely cottage in a beautiful countryside location."
Great facilities with everything we needed to make our stay very pleasant. The owners were very nice, approachable and helpful. Would certainly stay again and highly recommend it.
-
"Beautiful location and wodnerfully appointed accomodation."
-
"A lovely cottage in a beautiful and peaceful setting."
Very clean and well equipped with friendly welcoming hosts, we all enjoyed our stay, thank you. The only improvement we would suggest, to accommodate a group of 8 adults like ourselves, would be to the layout and furniture in the living room; the kitchen/dining area was very good. However, we would prefer not to book cottages through Sykes in the future.
Hello, thank you for your feedback. We completely agree about the layout of the lounge, and have been pondering for a while what to do about it! We've now moved the furniture around, and have created a much more sociable area, which actually makes the room feel bigger. Why didn't we think of it before? The new photos are on the Sykes website. Thank you again. Property Owner

"Amazing stay in a great location, Cottage had everything and was very comfortable with the owners very facilitating with ideas on places to eat and visit."
We will be back!
-
"Lovely holiday house and gardens."
Owners were very helpful with recommendations and tips for exploring the area. House was very well stocked, especially for our 1 and 4 year old. Very relaxing stay and having Carsington Water nearby was great for walks, lunch, ice-cream and the playgound. The owners of the Red Lion pub (handy that its a 5min walk!) were also very friendly and the food was tasty as well. Thank you for a lovely stay!
-
"Prior to our stay, the contact from the owners was fantastic, with clear information on what to expect on arrival."
On arrival, the owners were on hard to say hello but not intrusive. Very friendly and welcoming from the outset. Fantastic property with so many good points it's hard to list them all. If you're going with children, the bedrooms are spacious and well furnished. The kitchen and living areas are well stocked and provide everything for a comfortable stay. We were two families of 4 and didn't feel cramped at all. The outside space is great for mini adventures with local farmyard animals on hand to give children a taste of country life. Nearby there are activities and sites to see which would fill 10 weeks of holidays, we spent a lot of time at Carsington Water. Watersports, cycling, shops, great park, nice restaurant and lovely ice cream. Also a stones through from Chatswood House - great for walks, afternoon tea, adventure playground and farmyard. Kedleston Hall, picturesque walks with children's activities and nature guides. Dovedale and Thorpe Cloud, amazing walks and good for children. Bakewell - beautiful and obviously pretty good tarts. We had a fantastic time at Green Farm Stables, our days were jam packed and it was great to head back to such a welcoming property. We are already talking about returning and planning where we want to visit next.
-
"Beautiful setting, very conveniently located for Carsington Water and very friendly and helpful hosts."
-
"Kate and Adrian are excellent hosts."
It was great to meet them and they are really friendly and approachable. The cottage and farm are off the main road and are very peaceful with some nice walks on your doorstep. The cottage is lovely and it is ideally placed and we found not more than 30 mins from each place we wanted to visit. We would recommend this cottage to anyone looking for great hosts, cottage and for location.
-
"We really loved the location of The Stables; it was so quiet and tranquil yet convenient for so many of the places that we wanted to visit and for the relatives, who lived nearby, to visit us."
The cottage was well-equipped and very comfortable as well as being pretty and spacious. We did manage to get 11 round the kitchen table for a celebration meal. The only slight issue was that the main shower was a little small for my tall son as it had a quirky sloping ceiling, but that is part of the character of the building. Kate and Adrian were on hand if we needed them but gave us plenty of space to enjoy our holiday. We had a wonderful time.
-
"We had a great week in the Derbyshire Dales and the Green Farm Stables were a great base from which to explore them from."
-
"We had a lovely peaceful stay in the converted barn."
The owners were very friendly and helpful. We really appreciated that no one else was coming for a while and offered for us to stay as long as we wanted on our last day. This meant we didn’t have to leave at 10 am which was a bonus with only having a short weekend break. Really recommend and will certainly book again Thank you Kate & Adrian

Where you’ll be staying
HOGNASTON
Ashbourne 6 miles; Matlock 9 miles.
Hognaston is a peaceful village on the southern fringes of the Peak District. Hognaston is an ancient settlement and has a long and diverse history, but is now better known as being close to Carsington Reservoir. The village has two cosy pubs, a Norman church, a village hall and a range of community groups. Just 6 miles away is the market town of Ashbourne with stalls, 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!
This property offers the following short breaks:
- Winter
- Off-season
