Just a short drive from the house is Dovedale, known famously for its unique feature of stepping stones across the River Dove, where you can take a fantastic walk to Ilam and across Thorpe Cloud where your views are stunning, the Tissington Trail also has a great route and perfect for cycling, as well as Carsington Water which is an 8-mile stretch around the reservoir which also offers many water sports. Alton Towers is a keen favourite for holidaymakers staying in Ashbourne as it is just a short 15-minute drive away to adrenaline fun.

A lovely, spacious, well equipped and clean property. It was great to have both indoor and outdoor space. We enjoyed the packet of biscuits that were left to welcome us. It is well located to explore Ashbourne and the Peak District. However, be aware that the walk into Ashbourne is via a steep hill. We would have appreciated a second key to allow our group to occasionally go out independently, unfortunately when contacted the management company didn't understand this request. A parasol for the garden and a spare Henry Hoover bag would have been great.

Doves Nest is a very attractive and spacious holiday house. It is furnished and equipped to a high standard. The lovely town of Ashbourne is a short walk away and other places of interest are easily accessible. The garden is great and the hot tub is a bonus. Highly recommended!
