“Fabulous little retreat.”

Spotlessly clean. Colin and Sue (and Scout) very helpful and friendly. Would certainly consider coming again.

- Mr Hayes, August 2020
“We had a fantastic time.”

Herdwicks Barn was the perfect base for us to set off from for activities in the Peak District and further afield. We generally didn't have to travel any longer than 45mins to get to attractions. The owner, Sue, was also very attentive friendly and helpful. Her local knowledge really helped us to plan our days.

“Just missing a wardrobe, but everything else was perfect.”

- Mr Neal, September 2019
“Brilliant cosy barn conversion - the owners were lovely and a fantastic location!”

- Mr Panxha, August 2019
“We really enjoyed our stay, there was just a couple of things missing, a radio would be nice and we have always had a welcome pack when visiting other cottages of just a few items, like milk, bread etc.”

- Ms Venters, July 2019
“The cottage is on a minor road but is very noisy with traffic from about 4.”

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.

- Mrs Reynolds-smith, June 2019
“This was our third visit to Herdwick Barn.”

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

- Mrs Pilcher, May 2019
“This is an amazing little cottage - small enough to be cosy but just about everything you need for a perfect holiday.”

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.

- Mrs Mckehon, May 2019
“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.

- Mr Hilder, December 2018

Owners friendly and helpful and location superb. Dog really appreciated the under floor heating as did we as made it extra cozy.

- Mr Seymour, December 2018

Ramsor Farm Holiday Cottages

These three 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. Three endearing properties providing a good base from which to explore or simply relax and unwind.
