Family-friendly holiday rentals in Ashbourne

Great stay at Jennie’s house. Loved the location for Sherwood Forest, Nottingham Castle and the Tramway Museum. Kids loved the garden and hot tub and the beds were comfortable. Would recommend.

A great stay! Really flash and all the amenities you need! A great host as well!

So enjoyed our stay at the Old Wash House. Everything was perfect from location to cottage & hosts couldnt have been any more accommodating. So many special touches from the freshly baked warm bread hanging on our door in the morning to the fire lit for our arrival. We loved it all & def hope to return ❤️ 😍

Very cosy, stylish and relaxing place to stay - lovely views, great pub 5 mins walk away and lots to do in the local area. Highly recommended!

I lovely location and a well equipped comfortable cottage. There’s lots to do in the area. We would definitely recommend. The alpaca walk was just great !

Had a great few days at Abi’s place for a friends stag weekend. The house is beautiful, spacious and all the amenities you need for a nice chilled break. The surrounding land/venue is also very nice with an on-site cafe etc but you feel very private and nobody interrupted us over the weekend. Just a note that the pin location on Google/Apple Maps is about 100/150m too far up the road and the house is quite obscured due to the courtyard and trees so search for “manor farm” on maps to find your way properly as we couldn’t find it for a while :)

Stunning location walkable to the pub. Beautiful garden attached to this very compact but cosy cottage.

Absolutely loved our stay here. Very peaceful setting to relax In the hot tub. Loved having the cows come to say hello with our morning coffee and the chickens visited regularly. Gem the cat also made frequent visits. Inside the Dairy is surprisingly spacious, everything was nice and clean and perfect for a nice stay of a few days. The bathroom is modern and clean and I love a waterfall shower. The outside space has a bbq and some stunning views of the surrounding areas. You feel like you’re in a nice quiet place in the middle of nowhere but actually it’s only 25 minutes drive to Stoke and there are plenty of small villages and towns to stop in to cafes and pubs, Ideal for our trip to the Peak Wildlife Park. Nathan, Katie and the spaniels were very friendly and welcoming. They left us some eggs and milk from the farm that we absolutely loved. I would 100% stay here again. Possibly my favourite air bnb I have stayed in. Thanks so much!

We’ve just arrived home after a wonderful stay at Petra’s property. The house was very clean, beds comfy and had loads of stuff for a baby/toddler which was very helpful! Petra sent us lots of places to go and see and we did most! Thank you for having us and we look forward to returning soon! Sophie, wills, Betsy, saffron and holly.

What a lovely place in a great location. Really cosy with the cottage kitted out with everything one needs to have an enjoyable and relaxing stay. Very easy to find, clear welcome and leaving instructions and a lovely welcome package upon our arrival. Location is within easy walking distance to the centre of town with access to pubs, restaurants etc. Overall a very enjoyable stay!

Beautiful setting, the home felt welcoming and warm.

We had a lovely few days at Rowan Tree Cottage. The cottage was immaculately clean and tidy and was equipped with everything you need for a confortable break. Our daughters especially loved the easter eggs in the Welcome Pack which was lovely touch for our Easter Break. Jane is a great host and very communicative from booking to check in and onwards. She also bakes a great victoria sponge :) We wouldn't hesitate to book again.

We stayed at Maxine’s place for six days due to work, and it truly felt like home. Our dog Domi also loved it and felt completely safe and at ease. The house absolutely exceeded our expectations, it’s so well-stocked that we didn’t even need to go grocery for the first few days! There are plenty of restaurants, supermarkets, and parks within walking distance, and parking was super convenient. Maxine also recommended an amazing Thai restaurant — unfortunately, we couldn’t get a table because we didn’t book in advance, but that just gives us another reason to come back! Highly recommend to everyone :)

Sam and Annie's cottage was a lovely location to spend 8 days as a family of three (including with a 9 month old baby). It included a large and very comfortable bed, a cot in a separate room for our baby, and everything needed in the kitchen to be able to make a meal. They were very helpful at making sure we had everything we needed for the baby (e.g. high-chair, baby bath, etc) and were very responsive to any questions that came up during our stay. The cottage is in a lovely spot, with walks right on its doorstep, and Monsal Head a short 5 minute walk away. The local pub is also excellent (ensure to make a reservation). We would not hesitate to stay here again.

My mum and I had a perfect couple of days in Vicky’s home - which is just as lovely as the pictures show. Vicky got in touch with us as soon as we booked and all her instructions / directions were clear and accurate. It was a real privilege to stay here and we’d 100% recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in the Wirksworth area. Sitting and enjoying breakfast looking over the fields behind was a real highlight and something we’ll miss now we’re home!

Would definitely recommend-lovely accommodation, very clean and comfortable - nice little touches around too! Beautiful garden, wouldn’t know you were so close to the town - lovely walks and coffee shops very close by - thank you for making us welcome for our very short stay 😀

We had a lovely time staying at the Old Angel with a large group of women. The sheer number of bathrooms was super handy with the large group number, and the living and dining spaces were super functional for a group of our size. There is a one half freezer and a large fridge, which Nicola had left some treats in which was a lovely touch. Bedrooms were well organised and very clean, with towels provided. There’s a village shop right next door, and a pub 20 meters away which was glorious in the May sunshine. Nicola and her team were very helpful in response to any questions/feedback we we had - overall we had a lovely stay and I would recommend this place to others!

We had a wonderful stay at The Shippen. The property was perfectly located for a peaceful few days away from busy life but had amenities close by. We had access to the great pool and a private hot tub that the kids loved. I would definitely recommend The Shippen for families looking for a getaway that has lovely surroundings and accommodation that has everything you need, including games and activities for entertainment. Thank you Sara and Phil for having us, we loved our stay.

We very much enjoyed our stay in this lovely cottage. The space is great and as an extra bonus, you get to use a heated pool and brilliant games room. We went early Jan and there was loads of snow, as well as pretty cold temperatures, but the house warmed up very quickly and we were always more than comfortable. The property is close enough to Bakewell for a short drive or taxi ride, should you want to venture into town. We're thinking about going back in the summer.

Great host excellent communication and lovely apartment thanks again

What a wonderful stay at Manor Farm. The house was beautiful, well maintained, extremely spacious and very comfortable. The surrounding countryside was stunning, with great food being served in nearby pubs and plenty of places to visit. Great space for youngsters too, with the wildlife - baby rabbits, sheep and birds and of course the swimming pool and games room, all of which they loved. Thanks to the hosts for their welcome and hospitable atmosphere.

Birch Cottage was beautifully presented and perfect for a family get together. There was plenty of space, definitely did not feel cramped or on top of each other. The bathrooms were clean and modern, presented with complimentary toiletries. The bedrooms were a good size with adequate storage. The beds were comfortable and the bed linen was pristine. The location of the cottage is stunning, halfway up a hillside with plenty of challenging walks literally on the doorstep. The pool area exceeded expectations. It was modern, clean and warm. Sophie pre-arranged with me the times that the occupants on our cottage would use it and that worked out fine. I would have no hesitation in recommending Birch Cottage and hope to visit again some day.

Great value for money. Can't stress enough how friendly and reliable the staff were. We had a lovely week stay, the house was clean, the beds were comfy and the scenery was perfect. We were informed of the booking system for the swimming pool and games room, so you could have the room to yourself which was great. The pool was clean, the games room was kept tidy and the house surroundings were really lovely to walk around. You can tell the grounds were well maintained and kept in good shape as the workers never stopped, but were always so friendly. This property is perfect for bike riders, walkers and pub crawlers. You couldn't get bored.

Lovely place to stay, house and location was beautiful. Host was so welcoming and friendly. The animals on the little farm was such a lovely touch. We had an amazing time, highly recommend.
