Beautiful location
This property was: Spacious enough for four couples. Allowing us to hang out in the kitchen / living area altogether. Full of history and character. Fabulous location allowing us to walk everywhere, town, shops, restaurants etc.

Lovely historic building very close to pubs and restaurants.
Your place was absolutely beautiful. My American cousins couldn't quite believe how old it was. Comfy beds and a great location for a good sized group. An added surprise was you advertise this place as 4 bedrooms but there is actually 5 so it allowed for the baby to have his own room. This place comfortably would sleep a group of 10 people. We enjoyed sitting in the living room and relaxing as a family group. Lovely surroundings and so close to the centre of Ashbourne. A very comfortable and lovely setting for a cherished family gathering. Many thanks for a wonderful weekend.

Perfect half term break
The house and gardens were just lovely and a great place for our family to hang out together. We had everything we could need for a home away from home. The location was perfect for exploring too, we visited attractions in the surrounding area including the Heights of Abraham, Dovedale and Alton Towers. Highly recommended.

Great find in Ashbourne
A group of friends stayed in the property over the Easter weekend - it was perfectly located in the town but with a huge garden and wonderful entertaining spaces it felt a world away. Great for exploring the local area, the pubs of Ashbourne, or just enjoying the house and its history. All the bedrooms were immaculately decorated and the communal spaces were stunning. Would highly recommend!
