Lying at the southern end of the Peak District, Ashbourne is a perfect example of an English market town - market place with stalls, eccentric street plan, narrow cobbled alleys, coaching inns and almshouses. In its heyday in the 18th-century, the town was a fashionable social centre, and many fine Georgian buildings remain from this period. Today the town still has much to offer in terms of restaurants and inns and is regarded as something of a haven for antique hunters - but don’t expect a bargain! For those who prefer more outdoor pursuits, the Dove and Manifold Valleys are close by and for thrill seekers Alton Towers with its exciting collecting of rides and attractions is just a short drive away.

Good pub within 400m. Pod had everything we needed and a few extras. Just 3 pods on the site, so quiet and private. Jane (host) was very welcoming and helpful. Wood fired hot tub was easy to use

I was quite anxious to come here as i was heavily pregnant and me and my partner came for a small get away but jane and phil put us at ease we were informed of everything we needed and were very well looked after. the location is beautiful with the deer and with the pub only a few minutes up the road it was lovely for a quiet get away. We will definitely be back!

Jane met us on arrival and was so helpful. The on-site deer are inquisitive and came to say hello, a real bonus. Our first time glamping, think we may have stumbled on a gem. Pub just up the road (maybe 3 min walk, no more) with friendly vibe and great food. Lots of unexpected little extras that defo made this WOW!
