The Byre

About this property

Hollington 0.5 miles. Set in the peaceful Derbyshire countryside, The Byre is a beautifully converted, single-storey barn just half a mile from the village of Hollington and under six miles from the market town of Ashbourne. The nearby area has a selection of traditional country pubs, all within a gentle walk. Perfect for couples, families or friends looking for a relaxing rural escape, this welcoming, pet-friendly cottage combines countryside charm with comfortable, high-standard accommodation. Enjoy beautiful views across the surrounding fields, unwind in the enclosed garden or spend your days exploring the stunning landscapes of the Peak District. The Byre offers two comfortable bedrooms: one double and super-king which can be arranged as twins on request.

A cosy sitting room provides a lovely place to relax after a day outdoors, while the enclosed garden is ideal for enjoying a morning coffee, an evening drink or simply taking in the peaceful surroundings. Explore the surrounding footpaths through Osmaston Park and neighbouring villages, where you’ll find welcoming pubs and restaurants serving everything from light bites to hearty meals. Just a short drive away, Ashbourne offers independent shops, historic Georgian buildings, characterful streets and a great choice of places to eat and drink. For those who love the outdoors, the nearby Tissington Trail is ideal for walking and cycling, while the spectacular Peak District offers endless opportunities for scenic walks and days exploring.

For a family-friendly adventure, Alton Towers is also within reach. For larger groups, The Byre can be booked alongside The Croft (property reference 964759), providing accommodation for up to six guests across both properties.

Steeped in history and situated at the southern end of the Peak District, the lovely village of Hollington, mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, provides home to a scattering of traditional brick built cottages, old farmhouses and barn conversions, whilst being surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside and offering a number of country pubs renowned locally for excellent service and fine cuisine. Nearby Ashbourne is the perfect example of an English market town, boasting an eccentric street plan, narrow, cobbled alleys, old market stalls and many fine coaching inns. In its heyday, during 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 with a good selection of restaurants, whilst being regarded as something of a haven for antique hunters - but don't expect a bargain! For those who prefer outdoor pursuits, the Dove and Manifold Valleys are close by offering good walking and cycling, whilst Alton Towers is just 25 minutes away!
