The Byre

About this property

Hollington 0.5 miles. The Byre is a delightful, semi-detached, single-storey barn conversion, situated in open countryside, half a mile from the Peak District village of Hollington and just under six miles from Ashbourne. Suited to a family or friends seeking a rural escape, this pet-friendly abode boasts serene countryside views and an enclosed garden. Lovingly converted, and decorated and furnished to a high standard, this charming cottage has two bedrooms, one double and one a twin that can be a super king-size double on request, as well as a welcoming sitting room and an enclosed garden in which to sit out and relax, all enjoying lovely views of the beautiful surrounding countryside.

The village of Hollington offers a number of country pubs, while local walks take you through Osmaston Park and on to neighbouring villages where pubs and restaurants offer a range of food from snacks to a la carte meals. Visit the nearby market town of Ashbourne with its eccentric street plan, Georgian buildings and good selection of inns and restaurants, take advantage of excellent walking and cycling, including the Tissington Trail, or enjoy an action-packed day out at Alton Towers, before returning to your holiday home to plan the next day's activities! Ideally located for exploring this wonderful part of the Peak District, this delightful cottage makes a great family base.

Steeped in history and situated at the southern end of the Peak District, the lovely village of Hollington, mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, provides home to a scattering of traditional brick built cottages, old farmhouses and barn conversions, whilst being surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside and offering a number of country pubs renowned locally for excellent service and fine cuisine. Nearby Ashbourne is the perfect example of an English market town, boasting an eccentric street plan, narrow, cobbled alleys, old market stalls and many fine coaching inns. In its heyday, during the 18th century, the town was a fashionable social centre and many fine Georgian buildings remain from this period. Today the town still has much to offer with a good selection of restaurants, whilst being regarded as something of a haven for antique hunters - but don't expect a bargain! For those who prefer outdoor pursuits, the Dove and Manifold Valleys are close by offering good walking and cycling, whilst Alton Towers is just 25 minutes away!
