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.

    Lovely to have the hot tub after a day exploring and the added novelty of Netflix which we don't have at home. Lovely touch with the prosseco in an ice bucket when we walked in and tea coffee and milk supplied. The only reason I have given 4 stars and not 5 is that we have stayed at 4 and 5 star hotels and always been supplied with toiletries and I think for the money that we paid which equated to £200 a night a shower gel/body lotion and shampoo would have been the icing on the cake. Also the curtain fittings (tieback fittings) in the living room were loose with the screws coming out of the wall. All in all to sit in a hot tub over looking open fields was wonderful and I would throughly recommend the Woodshed and we will at some point be returning.

    We stayed 2 nights in the woodshed and it was perfect. We where greeted and shown around by Karl (what a top gent) which was a lovely touch. There was a lovely bottle of prosecco on ice on arrival and milk in the fridge and they are really nice touches to have. The Woodshed has everything you need for a relaxing getaway and we can't fault any of it. We will definitely return.

    . Everything is lovely and modern and still has that countryside feeling to it. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a nice weekend away :))
