“This is my list of constructive ...”

This is my list of constructive criticisms, it is not intended to be mean but more as how to improve: Incorrect wifi connection details No iron / ironing board No hair dryer No hanging rail for clothes No air fresher in bathroom - this has no window No bath sheets - bath towels supplied, although very nice were not very big No blind on second velux window

“We were very fortunate to have the ...”

We were very fortunate to have the weather on our side for the bank holiday weekend but had it been raining, it would still have been wonderful. The setting was beautiful and the cottage was perfect. It has a really rustic feel yet very modern at the same time. The location is calm and 'secluded' but a short drive to everywhere. We did a number of walks and in Sunday went to the Ramblers retreat for brunch (10mins away) and it was idillic. The owner was lovely and even provided tables and chair for us to eat outside in the evening sun. It was just wonderful. Highly recommended.

“The cottage was beautifully ...”

The cottage was beautifully renovated with up to date facilities, fast wifi, gorgeous decor and furnishings (you had thought about everything - right down to the Christmas decorations!). Myself and my partner stayed over new year with our dog and it was just wonderful as a relaxing retreat, will definitely be back. Thank you for a lovely time and brilliant recommendations for things to do too!

“Met expectations but the option for ...”

Met expectations but the option for a welcome basket would have been a nice addition. Trying to find shops on a Sunday in a rural area for bread and milk was difficult

Truly dog friendly and having an enclosed area, there was no worry of our dog getting out. Very restful stay, perfect for a wind down few days.

Absolutely fabulous cottage under floor heating was a complete surprise only minor worry was nowhere to dry wet clothes and no iron but otherwise well worth it

Ramsor Farm Holiday Cottages

These two delightful, adjoining red sandstone barn conversions, are situated on the fringe of the small country community of Ramshorn, on the edge of the glorious Peak District, five miles from Ashbourne. Beautifully converted with a keen eye for quality, they both offer open plan living areas across the ground floor, with cosy double beds tucked away on the mezzanine floor above. From the oak doors with polished pewter handles, to the slate flooring and exposed stone walls, they exude charm and character, with a touch of luxury from the underfloor heating downstairs. Warm and welcoming, they have modern kitchens and contemporary shower rooms, with comfortable beds and quality bedding ensuring a good night's sleep. Outside the properties are small, enclosed private courtyards, a sheltered spot to sit and relax with a glass of wine after an enjoyable day exploring the vicinity. Walkers and cyclists will be eager to sample the nearby Tissington Trail and High Peak Trail, or for an easier afternoon, try pretty Ilam Village with its stately home and village walks. The popular historic market town of Ashbourne offers independent shops, restaurants and tea rooms and is known for quality antique shops, a pleasant way to spend an afternoon browsing. For thrills and excitement, Alton Towers Theme Park lies two miles away, but the Consall Valley Steam Railway and Foxfield Railway are both within easy reach and for a day with a difference, visit Peak Wildlife Park.
