Ashbourne, at the southern end of the Peak District, is an English market town with a market place, an eccentric street plan, narrow cobbled alleys, coaching inns, and almshouses. The town was a fashionable social centre in the 18th century, and many Georgian buildings remain. Today, the town has many restaurants, inns, and antique shops, but don't expect a bargain. Dove and Manifold Valleys offer outdoor activities. 20 minutes to Alton Towers.

Nothing was too much for Karl the owner. Unfortunately neither he nor us had any control over the weather but we still had a lively stay.

The Wood Shed is just stunning and is stylishly furnished with everything you could need for a wonderful holiday. It is perfectly situated at the base of the Peak District with so much to see and do nearby. Karl is the most helpful host and a lovely guy, he is clearly proud of what he has created and justifiably so. We saw Red Kites in the skies above and to our delight a Woodpecker and an abundance of Blue (and other) tits on the bird feeders we took with us. The views from the cottage are amazing. Just try it and see! We will be back! Thank you for sharing kindest regards Sally and Wal (and for the fizz and flowers) Ps Netflix was an added bonus on the Smart TVs we got to watch the much hyped Fool me once
