    We were warmly greeted by the hosts Brian and Julie and luggage the dog. The accommodation is in a beautiful setting with amazing views and spectacular sunsets. It is well placed as a base for exploring the surrounding area. Probably the best accommodation we have stayed in recently and will definitely look to rebook in the future. The enclosed front garden was a good place to relax for both us and our dog, who especially enjoyed exercising on the adjacent paddock. The Red Lion pub is a short walk away and has a nice outdoor seating area serving delicious food . We bought some beautiful flowers from Angela who has a honesty box at the end of the drive. Please believe the 5 star reviews you won't be disappointed

  • "The cottage and surroundings were lovely."

    The cottage was clean and tidy. The dog was very welcome and loved the field. The chicken was a hit with the children, especially when they were able to collect eggs. The owners were lovely and helpful. The beds were very comfortable. There was plenty of space for parking. It was lacking some basics, which would have been useful. For example, spare batteries, toilet role, Tupperware, enough cups/cutlery/glasses/crockery for 6 people (both cottages), sellotape, first aid kit, safety pins, sewing kit and different sized pots for the oven.

    Apologies you thought we were missing a few basics. Just thought I should respond to help any future guests. I can confirm there was and is a fully stocked first aid box with safety pins in a cupboard in the kitchen. Along with the fire blanket and fire extinguisher . We do take health and safety very seriously. We leave a few toilet rolls for your arrival but the accommodation is classed as self catering, although we do supply all cleaning essentials for the kitchen. We are always on hand and happy to help though should you require or run out of anything. There should be 6 place settings and I note there are only 5 plates, so apologies for this, one must have got broken at some point. I will replace this immediately. We do supply 3 baking trays and pizza trays along with a couple of glass dishes, sorry if that was not sufficient I will put a few extra in. Sewing kit and spare batteries for the remote control are good idea thank you for this., I’ll put them in. I’m pleased you enjoyed your stay Property Owner

    The Byre is really well equipped and spotless. We forgot tea towels but they was provided, the welcome pack was great and lemon drizzle cake was best I’ve ever tasted. There were also an iron and ironing board and hair dryer. As it was a smart TV we also enjoyed Netflix, it really is furnished and decorated to a excellent specification. We didn’t cook any evening meals or Sunday lunch, as we went to the Red Lion every evening to something to eat (0.7mile), however the dishwasher did come in very useful for breakfast dishes. The views out from the bedrooms and living room are lovely across Green fields, and no one looking in, we just watched the birds, pheasants, owl, and falcon was seen, there is a blue-tit nesting in the bird box so we enjoyed watching it fly in/out so close. The location was perfect for us was we go walking and birdwatching regular so it was ideal location for Middleton Lakes, Carsington water and the Attenborough nature reserve, we also visited 1 National Trust house, sadly as November, most places were closed for winter. Lastly, it was so clear at night the stars was so visible. Overall, it was a hone from home and we will definitely return (hopefully in summer) when there are more places open to visit. Thank you again for the warm welcome and fabulous stay.

About the location

HOLLINGTON, DERBYSHIRE

Ashbourne 6 miles.

Steeped in history and situated at the southern end of the Peak District, the lovely village of Hollington, mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, provides home to a scattering of traditional brick built cottages, old farmhouses and barn conversions, whilst being surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside and offering a number of country pubs renowned locally for excellent service and fine cuisine. Nearby Ashbourne is the perfect example of an English market town, boasting an eccentric street plan, narrow, cobbled alleys, old market stalls and many fine coaching inns. In its heyday, during 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 with a good selection of restaurants, whilst being regarded as something of a haven for antique hunters - but don't expect a bargain! For those who prefer outdoor pursuits, the Dove and Manifold Valleys are close by offering good walking and cycling, whilst Alton Towers is just 25 minutes away!
