“This is an excellent holiday cottage.”

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.

Dog Friendly with a nice enclosed garden .Nice base for exploring the area with scenic views. Visit from Sue the host was very informative, most helpful .

- Mr Ewing, September 2018
“Lovely, comfortable stay.”

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 :)

“This is my list of constructive criticisms, it is not intended to be mean but ...”

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

“Excellent place to stay.”

Very relaxing and well equipped. Near to beautiful countryside. Friendly owners.

- Mrs Horn, May 2018
“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.

“Already booked the same cottage again in the summer.”

Fabulous the nicest self catering cottage we’ve stayed in xxxx

- Mrs Pilcher, March 2018
“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!

- Miss Jappy, December 2017
“It was a really love little cottage.”

Very well equipped to a very high standard. We loved every thing about it. And are considering going back.

- Miss Towse, May 2017
“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

- Miss Ayres, April 2017
“Really cosy cottage with all you could ask for.”

Location excellent for local walks or further afield. Owners very welcoming. Will be returning.

- Mrs Nuttall, March 2017

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.
