Reviews
Photos on other sites don’t do the cottage justice. The cottage is newly decorated and furnished. The house was warm (in cold weather) and the hot water and water pressure were great. Sofas very comfortable. Good walks of all difficulties in immediate area & can walk to local village. Local pubs are average. We stayed as 4 couples and one child and had a fantastic weekend.
Had a three night stay at the old stables with five other friends for a joint birthday weekend. Our stay was very enjoyable. The property is finished to a very high standard, and comfortably furnished. Everywhere was clean, and the ambience of the property is relaxing, in a fantastically peaceful location. Within walking distance is a pub called the black swan, which sold excellent and reasonably priced food enjoyed by all out our group. A trip into matlock is advised to. Overall I would definitely recommend this property.
This property certainly has the Wow factor with everything you need for a perfect stay and the owner Lesley is extremely helpful and friendly. The location is perfect with 3 pubs in walking distance, the Black Swan in particular serving very good food and an even better selection of gins! .... we will definately visit again.
A lovely residence in a perfect location. Short walk to the village with some excellent pubs,especially the Poets Corner,lovely food.
This is an amazing property I have visited 3 times and I am looking to see when I can go again. Beautiful house, lovely location, friendly little village. Owner welcoming and approachable, after my last visit told her she may have a problem with squatters as I didn’t want to leave. Have to recommend it highly.
I booked this for my husband's surprise 50th Birthday - Friday to Monday. We were joined by our family and had a fantastic time. The cottage is spacious, comfortable and decorated & furnished to a high standard. We have stayed in many cottages but this is the best one we have been to and will certainly be returning. The owners are lovely and extremely helpful. Thank you.
Stayed for a long weekend, a birthday treat for my wife from her sons and their partners. Tremendous conversion of the old stables and furnished to the highest taste. The owner, Lesley, made us most welcome and she told how she and her husband converted the main hall and the outbuildings. Matlock golf course five minutes drive away and the local pubs were a just a walk away. Terrific place to stay. Highly recommended
This is a beautifully presented holiday cottage, large enough for the 6 of us. It was easy to get to most of the Peak District and attractions.
It was so good that we've booked to go again this year!
The Old Stables felt like home as soon as we walked in. The location was wonderful, the scenery was lovely and it was very quiet.
A beautifully decorated and equipped cottage in the stunning Peak District location. The walks from cottage seemed like they would be plentiful. The owner was very helpful and friendly and respected our privacy whilst being on hand if we needed anything.
The location was fantastic with quick and easy access to nearby attractions.
Excellent accommodation - really relaxing. The Old Stables was ideal for 6 adults, a 7 year old and a baby. Plenty of space and seating in the lounge and dining room and a everyone had a nice bedroom. Great location - easy walk down to the village pubs. Very friendly owner.
Such a wonderful stay, we did not want to leave! Gorgeous views from The Old Stables and the actual cottage itself was breath taking! We will be definitely returning and recommending this to family and friends!
Wonderful holiday in Ashover, The Old Stables are outstanding, the scenery was beautiful and We couldn't have picked a better place for a relaxing break! Will be definitely recommending this to anybody and we will be back for sure!

What a fantastic place for a holiday! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in what really is a home from home! We will definitely be returning sometime in the future!
Beautifully presented cottage, immaculately clean and felt really luxurious throughout with some interesting and unusual features. The kitchen in particular, was gorgeous. We had a really relaxing weekend and we were all sad to have to leave!
Fab place to stay! We had a lovely weekend with friends.
The Old Stables is a fantastic place. The cottage is tastefully laid out and designed with high end décor. A real home from home.
Amazing décor and furnishings, such a great space. We have already recommended to friends and we would love to stay again.
The cottage was central to all the local attractions in Derbyshire. Good for local walks, we would definitely book here again. A real home from home!
This property is a new renovation in an old stone stable. It is very tastefully finished with great facilities, plenty of kitchen equipment for entertaining too. We stayed for a 60th birthday celebration with our extended family and it was perfect. The bathrooms have great water pressure and plenty of hot water for a group of 7. There are some really nice walks and Peak District villages/towns in easy reach.
We stayed here in September 2015 and found the location to be really lovely with great gardens and a lovely farm shop/cafe just a short walk away. The house is beautiful, with everything you'd need and finished to a really high spec. The owner, Lesley, was really welcoming and helpful. Would definitely stay here again if back in the area.
