We are in the foothills of the Peak District and Staffordshire Moorlands, in truth the very beginnings of the Pennine Chain.

As you approach from the South and reach Asbourne (known as the Gateway to Dovedale) the terrain changes dramatically from rolling pasture land with hedged fields supporting dairy and crop farming to hills, valleys, outcrops and stone walled fields supporting sheep and dairy farming.

As you enter this delightful house black granite steps take you in to a spacious hall with a garden room on your right hand side where you are able to sit, read, drink or just view the garden and bird watch – notable regular visitors Great Spotted Woodpecker, Nuthatch, Tits, Chaffinch, Tree Sparrow, Flycatcher and many more.

It is worth noting, on the porch floor, locally quarried fossilised limestone inlaid with the black granite.

Bedrooms are all on the ground floor with No 1 facing south, a very light double room looking out over the immediate garden. A bathroom leading off the hall is private to this room.

No 2 a twin room with ensuite faces southwest looking out on the rising valley side, where you may see our bird livestock normally goose / gander, rare breed hens, fantail doves.

No3 the double ensuite again faces southwest looking up the valley side but mainly out on to a more tropically biased sheltered corner.

The whole of the ground floor, your room the garden room and indeed the garden itself is at your disposal, you are invited to walk round the garden and sit wherever you may find a seat.

For breakfast please come upstairs, the landing is a refreshing place to start the day giving a fine view down the valley towards Ashbourne.

Our free-range eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes, bacon, sausages and Derbyshire oatcake will all be local produce except on a rare occasion.

You are able to have whatever you wish, if we have it. Vegetarian and special diet catered for, please request as early as possible.

Cereals, fruit, fruit juices and jams, please help yourself.
