The location is highly regarded for its tranquillity and proximity to local amenities and attractions like Alton Towers. The rural setting and wildlife are appreciated, though one guest noted difficulty finding the property in the dark.
Guests find the beds comfy and the cottage cosy, with plenty of throws and automatic heating. One review suggested a larger bed for additional comfort, which slightly impacts the score.
The facilities are well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and convenient EV charger. Guests enjoyed the bird feeders and wood burner. Suggestions for improvement include the addition of baking trays and updating welcome pack items.

Had a lovely stay here, beautiful location, only 15 mins into Ashbourne, lovely area for walking. Cottage is very well equipped, comfy beds, great shower, very cosy!! Great way to recharge your batteries away from busy lifestyles. Take a bit of cash as there are some fab cakes just down the lane outside the farm
