Ravenscliffe Cottage is located on the outskirts of Ashbourne, where just a short drive will take you into the town itself which has plenty of eateries, shops and cobbled streets to amble around. Nearby from the cottage is the famous Stepping Stones of Dovedale, a walk well worth doing, as well as the Tissington Trail which is a great cycling route too. There are many other walks on offer in the area, but if you wish to mix it up with other activities then you can visit the historic Chatsworth House and explore the gardens and farmyard. If you a more of a thrill seeker, then Alton Towers Theme Park and Splash Landings is under a 30-minute drive. There are two pubs just over a mile away, but please note there are no pavements on the country roads to get there.

The cottage was delightful. it was cozy and so warm. The bed was comfy and we had the best nights sleep. It was peaceful with incredible views, including a great sunrise and rainbow. It was squeaky clean, compliments to the ones that cleaned. It was well equipped, everything you needed. Fabulous bath and shower with hot water. In fact, just perfection. And the best is knowing that it is owned by a childrens charity, and staying there makes a difference. We had the best week walking in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside, and will be back! A huge heartfelt thank you!

There are plenty of things round the cottage there is a pub up the road, Ashbourne which was a 5 minute drive with plenty of shops and near some great walks. Would definitely stay again!
