Boasting a characterful interior, a well-equipped kitchen and an electric flame-effect stove, Poppy Cottage is a charming base for families, friends or couples to enjoy a tranquil escape to Derbyshire. After unloading your personal belongings, step into your new home-from-home to discover a quaint sitting room adorned with Smart TV and electric flame-effect stove where you and your loved ones can kick back and relax after a long day of exploring your scenic surroundings. Allow your other half to whip up a tasty dish in the well-equipped kitchen, boasting a fantastic range of appliances to ease your self-catered stay; settle down in the intimate dining room to relish meal times altogether or if the weather permits, make use of the pretty courtyard space to savour an alfresco affair. When the stars appear, retreat to the spacious shower room on the first floor before choosing from a double, bunk and single to catch your sleep in. Begin your morning with a relaxing stroll around Ashbourne Park, showcasing an array of stunning gardens, before sampling some hearty fare at one of several pubs, restaurants or cafes including The George and Dragon, Lamplight Restaurant and The Ashbourne Gingerbread Shop. Traverse the Peak District National Park where you’ll find Thor’s Cave, Throwley Old Hall and Ilam Park in addition to Kinder Scout and The Shivering Mountain, which you can summit for a more challenging activity. If you’re seeking an adrenaline-fuelled pastime, spend the day in Alton Towers, hosting a wealth of rollercoasters and fun-filled attractions; you are also well-positioned here to visit Derby, Stoke-on-Trent and the bustling city of Manchester, so you’ll never be short of things to do or see. For a truly memorable escape to Derbyshire, book a stay at Poppy Cottage.
Ashbourne, which is located at the southernmost point of the Peak District, is the epitome of an English market town, complete with a marketplace with stalls, an odd street layout, winding cobblestone lanes, coaching inns, and almshouses. The town was a posh social hub during its heyday in the 18th century, and many lovely Georgian structures from this time period still stand today. The town is still known as something of a sanctuary for antique hunters today and still has a lot to offer in terms of restaurants and inns, but don't expect a deal! The Dove and Manifold Valleys are nearby for those who prefer more outdoor activities, while Alton Towers, with its thrilling collection of thrills and attractions, is only a short drive away for thrill seekers.
