"This is a brilliant place!"
Furniture and finishes are to the highest standard and David, the host, is a delight, full of local attractions, some of them off the beaten track. The hares and the swallows were an added attraction, as were the grounds and gardens. The place cannot be bettered and we thoroughly recommend it.
-
"We have been several times and always excellent!"
Thank you.
-
"Charming accommodation and setting very tranquil."
Enjoyed watching the wildlife, especially the hares. David the owner was superb and very helpful. The welcome pack was very good indeed and much appreciated. All in all a lovely break away. Thank you.
-
"Fantastic host & lovely comfortable property."
A little off the main road so a car is needed when you go out but other that that it is close to perfect!
-
"March Hare is a spacious, well appointed, comfortable holiday cottage situated in a quiet location but not far from major roads and access to several NT properties."
Thank you to David and Andrea for the fantastic welcome pack and all the attention to detail making our stay so enjoyable. I’m sure we will be returning.
-
"Excellent hosts - nothing was too much trouble."
Will certainly return.
-
"Excellent as always."
-
"Nice little cottage in an excellent location."
-
"We absolutely loved the Cottage - it was warm, clean and so very homely and had everything we needed for our week."
We arrived on 29th December and the cottage had been decorated for Christmas which was a wonderful surprise and it looked lovely - we knew at this point we had definitely made the right choice. We were warmly greeted by David when we arrived and he could not have been more friendly and helpful in going through how everything worked and giving us many recommendations for eating and shopping in the local area - nothing was too much trouble and he made us feel so welcome. Whilst the weather outside was cold it was so warm and toasty in the cottage. There was a wonderful welcome basket full of goodies for use to which was so thoughtful. and we hope to visit again. Thank you very much.

"Excellent holiday we would love to Come back some time many thanks for the holiday"
-
"This was a lovely cottage very comfortable and everything you could ask for was available."
The owner David met us on arrival. Very nice guy really welcoming. A nice basket of goodies was made for us Which was very thoughtful. Lovely and quiet. Nice location. Not far from local villages. Would definitely recommend and use again
-
"A lovely cottage with a warm welcome and the best hamper we have had in a holiday cottage."
Only thing to stop us staying again, was the many bright security lights that lit up the grounds all night, and with no blinds on the skylights and no blackout blinds on the window the bedroom never got dark.
-
"Warm, cosy and inviting We had a wonderful short break at March Hare cottage."
We were welcomed by David who was very friendly, he talked us through everything we needed to know for our stay. The cottage was clean, well furnished with quality towels, bedding and furniture, with some very nice decorative touches. A plentiful supply of hot water, central heating and a wood burner all add to the levels of comfort. A generous welcome basket with a wide range of supplies and milk and butter in the fridge was a lovely gesture. The kitchen is well equipped and even has a slow cooker! There is also a freezer available for your use in an adjacent barn. The cottage also has a TV in the bedroom which is an added luxury. If you need WiFi it was fast and reliable. Plenty of outdoor seating to sit and enjoy a glass of wine in the really peaceful garden. The location is well off the road down a long drive so you could hear a pin drop as it's so quiet. David and Andrea’s cottage is a real get away from it all location whilst being on the doorstep of some of Derbyshire’s best places to visit. To sum up, if you are looking for a clean comfortable and well-appointed cottage with "home from home' comforts then you can't go wrong with a stay at March Hare Cottage. Thank you, we will be back !
-
"Beautiful cottage, everything was well thought of."
David greeted us and he was very helpful, showing us around and suggesting places to go and also where to eat. The hamper was beautiful and much appreciated a lovely surprise. Will love to come back. Thank you for a lovely stay!
-
"On arrival we were welcomed by David the owner with a very good selection of quality foodstuffs, easily enough to see us through dinner and breakfast into the next day if we’d had nothing with us."
There’s a very high standard of décor in the cottage and also plenty of good cooking equipment for self-catering. The bathroom is particularly spacious and plenty of hot water for the large shower. The surroundings are lovely, well off the main road and there’s multiple outdoor seating areas to enjoy the views with a morning coffee or glass of wine in the evening. Easy to spend a day relaxing with a book here. There is plenty to do locally including historic towns, walks, country houses and pubs. Note that this cottage is not particularly private without drawing curtains or closing blinds as it is at ground level, there is another rental property attached, the access drive faces the front door and all the windows have clear glass, including the bathroom. We would book here again, but perhaps try the cottage next door next time around, which is more private. Recommended.
-
"Amazing cottage, five star nothing less."
Welcoming hosts available on site at anytime. Facilities excellent, welcome pack very grateful. Probably the best cottage we have stayed in. Dont worry if you miss the entrance of the main Ashbourne road nearly everyone does as postcode in sat nav takes you to the back road.

"After a two week holiday in Yorkshire, where we felt tired and could not relax, we had a long weekend at March Hare in Derbyshire."
What a contrast!!! The owners were friendly and helpful, the surroundings were stunning (I have never seen so many beautiful flowers)and the cottage itself was a haven of peace and tranquility. Thankfully, we managed to sleep well! I would highly recommend March Hare, if you are seeking a quiet space! We wished we had booked a full week here in a more friendly, peaceful atmosphere. The welcome to this beautiful place was amazing! If only all of the holiday cottage owners could take a leaf out of David's book; they would certainly learn how to welcome guests to their holiday homes! Thank you so much for a wonderful, peaceful, unforgettable time! We left March Hare feeling happy, content and well rested! I cannot recommend this holiday cottage highly enough!
-
"Absolutely stunning, just pure luxury."
Lots of lovely touches at the property. I would highly recommend. David was very friendly and helpful.
-
"David is the nicest host we have ever met in 30yrs of staying in holiday cottages!"
Place is lovely, peaceful and in beautiful surrounding. Our stay was everything we hoped it would be and needed. Let's just sum it up by saying that when we left, we simply wanted to do a U-turn at the end of their lovely, long drive! Can't wait to go back and would recommend both of David's and Andrea's cottages to anyone. Richard and Penny
-
"We really enjoyed our stay at March Hare."
The owner was very welcoming and explained everything that we need to know about the property and provided a generous basket of food and drink items. After spending our days exploring the Peak district, we looked forward to relaxing in the lovely garden which was so quiet as the property is some distance from the main road. We even had occasional visits from two very lively hares!
-
"Nice cottage only fault is too easy to miss on main road from Derby need a bit more sign when approaching (we missed it twice) also track road could do with potholes filled as a bit rough."
Apart from that great place to stop.
-
"Just spent a fantastic week at the March Hare with the lovely David and Andrea."
The cottage was a home from home with all the comforts of a top class hotel, with beautiful gardens as a perfect backdrop. We were greeted by our hosts who could not have been more helpful and friendly They left us a lovely welcome hamper which was much appreciated. We would recommend this property without hesitation, many thanks to our hosts for a lovely holiday. Ken & Chris
-
"An absolute fabulous cottage set in the middle of idyllic countryside!"
David the owner made us feel at home and nothing was too much trouble he even gave us a tour of his rather large gardens can't wait to get back.
-
"This was our fourth stay and it was as excellent as always."
Cannot thank Andrea and David enough. We will be back in the near future.
-
"This was a superb holiday cottage with every comfort provided."
The welcome pack we received was superb and so thoughtful. The owners were welcoming, helpful and thoroughly delightful in terms of providing us with all the information we needed and sharing their home with us.. The setting was idyllic; we saw hares, a stoat, baby rabbits and pheasants. Thank you so uch David and Andrea for a week we shall never forget. We will be back; the Peak District has so much to offer and so does the March Hare. Kind regards Jenny and Tony
-
"This is our second visit to March Hare, it really is such lovely accommodation and a perfect base for exploring the Peak District area."
The owners clearly take pride in their properties and have thought of everything, kitchen and bathroom supplies and a generous welcome basket. It really cannot be beaten and we find it hard to find similar accommodation in other parts of the country that are a patch on this. We will be back again.
-
"What a little gem, could not fault it."
We would definitely go back again.
-
"Lovely accommodation in beautiful grounds."
We really enjoyed our break here. The owner David was friendly and knowledgeable. They only negative was that there was no freezer. It's down a long bumpy drive, but that has not stopped us from rebooking for a week in July. Looking forward to returning to the property.

"So good we’ve booked its twin for a few weeks time."
Quiet accommodation with a 1/3rd mile driveway from the main A52. All you hear are the birds.

Everything you need is supplied for the bedroom, kitchen & en-suite, excellent welcome package, Broadband, 2 tvs, dishwasher, cooker & hob, Tassimo coffee pod machine, kettle, tea & coffee pots, wood burner with extra wood if you need it. If staying a week towels are changed half way through by the friendly owners who live on-site.

"The cottage was warm and cosy and the owner, David, was very welcoming."
Great welcome pack and nicely decorated for Christmas. Although just off the A52, it was very quite and the peace and the comfortable bed meant we slept well. We will hopefully return as our son lives 10 minutes away so this is a very convenient and comfortable base if there isn't room at his house.
-
"Beautiful cottage hosted by fantastic people."
David and Andrea go out of their way to make you feel welcome. We arrived on a wet rainy evening and the heating was already on awaiting our arrival.

We enjoyed a fabulous week and we will definitely be returning

"The March Hare is delightful, set in wonderful grounds with a choice of shady spots to enjoy a picnic or drinks or simply sit and enjoy the surroundings."
A long driveway off the A52 ensures that the surroundings are perfectly peaceful with absolutely no road noise etc. The owners are very helpful and friendly, our 5 year old granddaughter visited and did not want to leave. The interior is super clean and bright and very thoughtfully designed and presented. Its location half way between Derby and Ashbourne was ideal. With family in Derbyshire we have stayed in countless places, Hotels and Cottages etc. throughout the Peak District and Derbyshire. My wife and I agree that this is the best of all, so much so that we will definitely be looking to stay again in the future.
-

"We have just returned from a fabulous stay at March cottage."
The cottage was the best cottage we have ever stayed in having had cottage breaks for 25 years. The cottage was very tastefully decorated with lovely attention to detail. As there are only 2 one bedroom cottages it was very peaceful in lovely surroundings and a beautiful garden with the owners house directly behind. David was very welcoming and showed us around the cottage and was on hand for recommendations of places to visit and go walking. We had a lovely welcome basket waiting for us with lost of lovely goodies including Prosecco! Halfway through the week we also had a basket of lovely clean towels and tea towels delivered which we have never known before. A wonderful week away and we will definitely be going back. Thank you so much David and Andrea for an amazing week away in the most beautiful cottage.
-
"We had such an amazing stay!"
The cottage was beautiful and we felt really looked after by the owners. Nothing was too much trouble, a beautiful welcome hamper with all the essentials, immaculately clean and everything we’d hoped for and more. Just 20 mins drive into Ashbourne. We wished we’d booked for longer as only stayed for two nights. We will definitely be back!

-
"March Hare is well thought out and equipped to a high standard."
The thoughtful extras provided by the owners meant that we didn’t have to worry about everyday things like hand soap, tea towels and washing up liquid. Miraculously, we received fresh towels half way through the week. The welcome basket was the best and most generous I have encountered in decades of renting holiday cottages and David was an attentive and cheerful host for whom nothing was too much trouble. The cottage is situated in peaceful gardens and amongst trees, and is within reach of some good places, all of which, though, must be reached by car, since there are no walks from the door. Overall a very pleasant stay.

Ilam park was lovely and the pub in Shirley was fantastic. A lovely meal for our 1st wedding Anniversary. We received a change of towels mid week and a lovely welcome basket with Prosecco.

The rooms are finished to a high standard and are very comfortable. The location is also excellent, as it is within a 30-45 minute drive of the main attractions of the Peak District. We had a very quiet and peaceful stay, therefore I would recommend others not to hesitate to book!

Relax in the comfortable lounge area, where you can snuggle up with your loved one in front of the wood-burning stove, before heading to the comfort of the king-size bed and what will undoubtedly be one of the quietest night’s sleep you will ever experience. Begin your day with a hot shower in the spacious and immaculately presented ensuite bathroom, fitted with all of the conveniences expected of modern living. Step outside into your own private English country garden, where you can enjoy your morning coffee in the sunshine, or the last of the evening light. On warmer summer days, why not make use of the sun loungers in the meadow - an idyllic spot surrounded by the beautiful Derbyshire countryside. Travel into the surrounding local villages, and you’ll be spoilt for choice with award-winning country pubs and eateries in abundance. With the Peak District on your doorstep, there’s much to do. How about a trip into the famous market town of Ashbourne and its many antique shops, the Victorian spa town of Buxton, or the picturesque village of Hartington - famous for its cheesemaking and a must for cheese-lovers? Head into the centre of Derby to explore the museums, the Cathedral, art galleries and a host of cute cafés and restaurants. Take a stroll through the Derby River Gardens and along the River Derwent, enjoy the shops of the old town in Sadlergate and Irongate, or indulge yourself in Derby’s modern shopping mall. For the more adventurous, an outdoor activity centre, Wild Park Derbyshire is within walking distance of the cottages. You can hop on a quad bike for some off-roading thrills, or try your hand at archery, crossbow or paint-balling. Whatever piques your interest, and should you require, the owners would be more than happy to share their recommendations, to ensure you have the most delightful of stays. Snapes Farm's Cottages offer two equally fabulous properties, and the perfect location to enjoy an idyllic and tranquil break within the Derbyshire countryside.
