Style and Comfort - Welcome to The Bobbin

This delightful Grade II listed cottage (part of an old Stocking Mill) nestling in the picturesque Peak District benefits from being only a few steps away from the village tearoom & 2 cracking pubs! Cycle on the Monsal Trail or walk in the stunning grounds at Chatsworth House, both are easily accessible and glorious views await.

Ashford in the Water is steeped in history & with the Monsal Trail on the doorstep, there is plenty to see & do.

A beautiful cottage and area of the Peak District, for that perfect weekend trip away with friends and family. The cottage is so well maintained and very clean, with all the information needed on arrival. The owner Simon, greeted us and made sure we were happy with our booking. We would recommend a booking at The Bobbin cottage, for anyone to visit at any time of the year. We didn’t want to leave.

We absolutely loved our stay at The Bobbin and just wish it were longer. The cottage is cosy and inviting, and it was our perfect home base to explore Derbyshire. Everything was clean, Simon was wonderfully communicative, and we loved the tip about going to the Ashford Arms for dinner. It was so good we went back the next night. We're already dreaming up an excuse to stay here again!

Only had 3 nights to enjoy the area, but provision of maps was very welcome and easy access for lovely countryside, especially biking on the Monsal Trail. Simon and Debs were most helpful with information and communication before our arrival and had easy control of the heating after unusual cold weather!

We had a wonderful stay at this property. It was in a perfect spot for us to explore the peak district and Ashford is a beautiful and quiet village (we totally recommend Aisseford tearoom for breakfast and check out the Sheep bridge on the river). The cottage itself was beautifully presented with lots of charming features and had everything we needed for a short break. We are already thinking about dates for a return visit!

Lovely Peak District stay

We had a great time staying at the bobbin, which we found to be just as it was described and perfect for a weekend with friends. Ashford in the water is a lovely place, close to Bakewell and Chatsworth. There are lots of walks nearby and the pub round the corner does fantastic food. Owners were very friendly and helpful, would definitely like to return.

Cramped and Basic

We found The Bobbin to be cramped and rather dark inside with a disappointing outside concrete courtyard that is shared by other properties and that has a view of several dustbins. The kitchen is small with limited facilities. There is for example no microwave or dishwasher. Also, the fridge did not have a freezer section. We found it somewhat difficult preparing and cooking meals in such a compact space. The property is on three stories with the bathroom and toilet on the top floor. Getting to the top floor entails climbing treacherously steep stairs with narrow treads. On the plus side, there is a pub within walking distance. The second pub in the village is closed at present. We felt so constrained by the tightness of the space in The Bobbin that we spent one night at the nearby Riverside House Hotel in a room with an outside terrace. It felt wonderful to be able to sit outside with a view of grass and flowers. The restaurant there was exceptional.
