Mrs Cotta
October 2020

“We had a 3 day break at The Rest and could not recommend it highly enough.”

The property was immaculate and Andrea the housekeeper could not have been more helpful. The kitchen was extremely well equipped, the beds comfortable and the hot tub was perfect after a days walking. A fantastic stay! Thank you so much.

Mrs Chaytor July 2020

“The cottage itself was very clean and if anything was even more fantastic than the photos on the web site showed.”

Excellent location and perfect for walks out. Pub at the end of the village hadn't reopened at the time of our stay but Ashbourne is only a short drive away with several pubs on the way which served good food and had a friendly atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back.

- Mrs Chaytor, July 2020

Miss Fayle October 2019

“The cottage is much larger than you'd expect, and beautifully laid out.”

The hot tub was greatly appreciated, and for walkers the Dovedale path starts just across the road (sadly closed part way due to NT tree felling but we did get part way on a lovely day!) I wouldn't normally pick a cottage in this price range - this was a late birthday treat! - but it is well worth the extra! Extra thanks to the housekeeper for laying out a few treats and a birthday card, and for helping with a bit of confusion with the hot tub!

- Miss Fayle, October 2019
Mr Reading June 2019

“This is the second time we have visted this cottage.”

“Cottage was great - plenty of space, good quality, warm and very clean.”

We arrived to find milk and some delicious ginger biscuits in the kitchen. The hot tub was great and easy to use - we were impressed that it was set up ready for us to use on the day of arrival too! Would definitely recommend this cottage.

Mrs Temprell August 2018

“We stayed at The Rest for a week and had a very enjoyable holiday.”

As some of the other reviews say, it is a little difficult to find. The instructions list the Dog and Partidge pub as a place to look out for on the journey, this is now called The Old Dog. The caretaker was extremely helpful in the run up to our arrival. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed for the week. The hot tub was a lovely addition. We will definitely return next time we holiday in this part of the country.

- Mrs Temprell, August 2018

You could spend a week walking via footpaths from the front door or use the local bus stop which is close by. 10 minutes walk to the stepping stones at Dovedale means you can leave at 0900 and have it all to yourself.

They provided us with lots of info on the area and cottage. The welcome was an appreciated treat and nice personal touch. The cottage was so well equipped with everything you could think of, including cleaning products. The cottage was stunning and set in the superb backdrop of Thorpe Cloud. It was in a good touring base to lots of other villages or towns/cities, and 20 minutes from Alton Towers, excellent to keep teenagers age 13 and 16 entertained, normally not easy! It had something for everyone. We have been to Centre Parcs for the last 4 years in a row before this holiday so was unsure if it would tick all our boxes but it did! Had a wonderful week's holiday, and would definitely go back again!

- Mr Bryce, July 2013

A FlipKey verified reviewer December 2009

“Worthy of 5-star rating - highly recommend”

We stayed here with friends and their 7-month old baby during October half-term and could not fault this gem of a cottage. Everything was in excellent condition, clean and the kitchen was well-equipped. Sadly my husband hurt his back at the beginning of the week and therefore spent a lot of time on his back - but the large flat-screen TV with DVDs, choice of games and comfortable sofa eased his suffering! The owner personally welcomed us and really made us feel at home. Location was excellent - especially if you like walking.

About the location

THORPE

Ashbourne 4 miles.

The pretty village of Thorpe lies where the River Manifold meets the River Dove and is dominated by the wonderful conical hill of Thorpe Cloud - a 1000ft limestone hill which guards the entrance to Dovedale. It was the arrival of LNER'S Ashbourne to Buxton line that really started the Thorpe tourist boom. Today, the railway is no more, but every year, thousands of visitors make the journey to Dovedale - one of England's most famous and photographed beauty spots. Thorpe itself has two country house hotels with bar and restaurant, and a pub, whilst further amenities are available in the many nearby villages - Ilam, Tissington, Longnor and Hartington. A fabulous area for outdoor pursuits, the famous Tissington Trail is located close by, little over a mile to the east of the village. The nearby market town of Ashbourne - once a fashionable social centre of the 18th Century - boasts an eccentric street plan, quaint cobbled alleyways littered with old market stalls and welcoming coaching inns. Many fine Georgian buildings remain, hosting a good selection of restaurants, wine bars and interesting antique shops. A great touring base, with Alton Towers just a short drive away!
