30am which was disappointing as did not expect this. Also there was no information on recycling in the property which was poor given there were two bins and not all council's take the same things.

“This was our third visit to Herdwick Barn.”

It won’t be our last. Clean, comfy and convenient.

Mrs Pilcher, May 2019

This was our first break in four years and we couldn't have been more fortunate with our choice. We chose to cook and eat in every night of our holiday and the facilities were perfect for self-catering. The owners were so friendly and helpful and we really couldn't fault anything. We even had glorious weather which enabled us to sit out and enjoy the garden which being fully enclosed was an absolute boon for our little dog. Thank you so much for providing us with the most perfect cottage in a wonderful location.

The conversion has been completed to a very high standard and is nice and warm. The property is very comfortable - even the sofa which is not often the case. It is a compact space but not claustrophobic and contains everything that you need. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. We would like to return again and would highly recommend it.

Mr Hilder, December 2018

Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a few days away. The countryside was beautiful not used to seeing so much scenery as from the city. We visited Alton towers which was only a 10 minute drive away from the cottage, very convenient location. The owners were very friendly and welcoming, came to see how our stay was which I thought was nice. Overall, very good experience, hopefully be back again soon :)

Ms Bulmer, August 2018

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.

Miss Martin, May 2018
“Already booked the same cottage again in the summer.”

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.
