About this property
Ashbourne 8 miles. Recognised for Excellence and Great Standards, No Deer received the Sykes Perfect Ten Award 2024! Nestled on the outskirts of the village of Marston Montgomery, close to the Derbyshire Dales and Staffordshire border, sits this inviting pod, No Deer! This one-bedroom retreat welcomes couples looking to getaway from everyday life, with a neighbouring field of deer making this a truly serene location. The kitchen comes well-equipped, featuring a combi microwave oven/grill with crisp dynamic feature for cooking crispy pizzas and chips, a hob, fridge with freezer compartment, so you can prepare a hearty dish when you’re not dining at the local country inn.
Relaxing at No Deer couldn't be more enjoyable with it's own private patio and log-fired hot tub for a relaxing soak as the sun sets at the end of your day. As the night rolls in, retreat to the sofa and enjoy a movie on the Smart TV before cosying up in the king-size bed. No Deer offers a truly serene escape, whatever time of year.

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.

A peaceful location and lovely accommodation which has been beautifully decorated. Jane has thought of absolutely everything (kitchen equipment, toiletries, games box and more...) and was so welcoming when we arrived too, making sure we were settled in OK. I would highly recommend staying at No Deer for a countryside getaway.
