The Neighborhood:
Ashbourne, which is located at the southernmost point of the Peak District, is the epitome of an English market town, complete with a market place with stalls, an odd street layout, winding cobblestone lanes, coaching inns, and almshouses. The town was a posh social hub during its heyday in the 18th century, and many lovely Georgian structures from this time period still stand today. The town is still known as something of a sanctuary for antique hunters today and still has a lot to offer in terms of restaurants and inns, but don't expect a deal!
The vacation home features a kitchen. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and a fireplace.

Beautiful house with ample space for everyone and amazing views. Location was excellent and the hot tub and sauna were a real treat after a day of walking in the hills.

Tony’s 60th birthday celebration
We have all had the most amazing time at hillcrest house. We were there as a group of family and friends to celebrate my partners 60th birthday. The house itself was beautiful, very tastefully furnished and The beds were really comfortable. It’s a perfect location for beautiful walks which we really enjoyed. The old dog pub was lovely with gorgeous food and really friendly staff. We can’t fault it
