We booked this property as a base for our young family as we had planned a few days at Alton Towers. Only a short 15 minute drive to Alton Towers and the property itself we found extremely clean, it had everything for us (including the owner installing the stair gate for our young child prior to our arrival) and also offered a high chair for our use. Smart TV in the lounge was great and very comfortable beds! We would highly recommend and will certainly be coming back to stay in the future!

Neighborhood info

Located at the bottom of the Peak District, the town of Ashbourne is a picture-perfect representation of a traditional English market town, complete with a bustling central marketplace, quirky street layout, winding cobblestone lanes and historic coaching inns. Many beautiful Georgian buildings date back to the town's heyday as a social hub in the 18th century. The town has maintained many of its historic buildings, including restaurants and hotels.  Those who would rather spend their time outdoors can easily reach the Dove and Manifold Valleys and Peak District National Park. It is also only a short drive to Alton Towers theme park.
