We had a lovely stay at Agnes Meadow. There was plenty of room for 8 of us and a dog. We enjoyed the large garden in the late September sunshine. The location is beautiful and we enjoyed watching the sheep. The house is very well equipped. We didn't have any problems, but I was in no doubt that Liz & Rob would have sorted out any issues immediately. I would recommend this property and we will return!

Agnes Meadow is just a few miles out of Ashbourne with an abundance of walks from the door step. The house is packed with everything you need to make a stay with friends or family very cosy, like a home from home. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need including a welcome bottle of wine and some milk for a cuppa. There are tvs in all rooms, which all have comfy beds. There are plenty of areas to relax, the kitchen, lounge, large conservatory and garden with beautiful views. You have so many things to visit within a short drive, which include plenty of cafes, pubs, walks, cycle paths and visitor attractions. It would be a lovely place to spend Christmas.

This place is fabulous, really comfortable, extremely well equipped, hard to find anything to criticise really (and we do love a good moan!). Things that are often missing in holiday cottages were there in abundance - bedside lights galore and a proper teapot! Beds very comfortable. Kitchen huge. Host quick to respond. Loads of room, there were only 4 of us but 4 couples would fit just fine. Very peaceful surroundings, there was hardly any traffic on the road outside, just a few farm vehicles every now and then. It is on a Manchester Airport flightpath, so you get a frequent gentle rumble of jet airliners quite high up. We had a lovely time, visited Carsington Water and Heights of Abraham, walked Wolfscote Dale, cycled Tissington trail (tip - hire bikes/start in Ashbourne, as it's mostly downhill on the way back), and strolled to Thor's Cave, all within 30mins drive. Definitely recommend.
