About this property
This character, mid-terrace cottage sits in the highly desirable market town of Ashbourne. Set over three floors, Robin’s Nook is a great choice for those seeking a gateway to the Peak District while accessing the many amenities of Ashbourne. Upon arrival, step through the panelled front door into the kitchen/diner, equipped to a great standard, here you can utilise a range of appliances and gloss white units to prepare home-cooked meals, whether it be a delicious supper or a hearty breakfast. Continue to the first floor and discover the sitting room, here you can unwind upon the sofa as you reflect on the day’s events, or tune into the Smart TV and catch up on your favourite shows. A final set of stairs leads to the bedroom, home to a double bed and ample storage space, plus a well-appointed shower room where you can prepare for the day. On warmer days, take a refreshing beverage out to the enclosed courtyard, or find a local pub and enjoy a pint in the beer garden followed by some tasty grub. This classic market town is known as being a real haven for antique hunters, whilst the scenic Ashbourne Park is ideal for family picnics and afternoon strolls. Wander around the town and you might stumble across the marketplace, boasting medieval structures and plenty of wonder to explore, here you can expect to find a scatter of shops, bars and restaurants, an art gallery and a selection of cafes; ideal for socialising and local entertainment, providing you and your loved one hours of fun. Take yourself further afield and visit Matlock, home to the popular Peak Rail which journeys through dramatic scenery, visit the town of Bolsover, home to Bolsover Castle, Castle Leisure Park and Carr Vale Nature Reserve, with the unspoilt beauty of the Peak District is also not to be missed. However you choose to spend your precious holiday time, return to Robin’s Nook and recharge for the next adventure.
Ashbourne is a superb example of an English market town, having a market place with vendors, an odd street pattern, small cobbled lanes, coaching inns, and almshouses. It is located near the southern extremity of the Peak District. The town was a fashionable social centre in the 18th century, and many excellent Georgian structures from that era still stand today. The town still has a lot to offer in terms of restaurants and inns, and it's considered a haven for antique hunters - but don't anticipate a good deal! The Dove and Manifold Valleys are close by for people who want more outdoor activities. It'll just take you 20 minutes to go to Alton Towers.

Georgina
We loved the location, close to the market square for slow, relaxed days but also close to lots of walks such as the tissington trail which you can start from the doorstep, Dovedale and Carsington Water. Lots of great pubs and coffee shops for food and drink available nearby. Suzanne and Phil have equipped the cottage with everything you could possibly need, we brought far more with us than we needed to as they'd already thought of it all! We found parking on the nearby carpark super easy, purchasing a rover pass which also allowed us to park on other public car parks all over Derbyshire. The welcome pack for us and our dog were really appreciated and also amazing quality. We'll definitely be back to this lovely home from home!

She seeing family, me working from my home away from home. We felt very "at home" in this very well-equipped little house on three floors. The flow of the house, with kitchen on the ground floor, living room on first and bedroom up top meant it was lovely to come home to after a Winter walk. Facilities were great. I don't think the listing mentions the washing machine but we were glad of it as we were trying to travel light. Would book again without hesitation.
