The Experience
This is just the right size for two. Downstairs is a kitchen with all you need to cook up a storm and Portmeirion Sophie Conran pottery to serve it up on. You’re also left some Ashbourne traditional gingerbread biscuits and a box of popcorn so you can settle into a movie in the sitting room – or in the dining area. The huge TV can be swivelled between the two rooms and offers every digital channel available plus you can play your own music on it.
The Italian designer lighting is well thought-out and each piece of modern furniture has been carefully chosen to blend with the lovely original stonework or pretty brickwork in the kitchen, there’s even a little separate study area for anybody who needs to work. After a day walking or cycling in the Peak District you’ll be delighted with the warm downstairs bathroom and walk-in shower.
The bedroom, up in the eaves, has a king size bed with cosy fur throws and cushions, very tempting.

Absolutely the most relaxing and restorative stay of our entire England adventure. The cottage is impeccable with attention to every detail and high quality artful furnishings and appointments. The history of the property just adds to its richness. Great walks right from the door and charming Ashbourne provides a variety of shops and restaurants. Clive and Mari are phenomenal hosts - there to fill every need or just share a laugh. We were treated like special friends. Magical!

Lovely welcome from Clive and Mari who helped us unload our car on arrival. No. 42 is beautifully furnished with a quirky entrance through a triangular door to the bedroom. We are in our mid seventies and managed fine! This is a lovely part of Derbyshire and it was great that we could just stroll into Ashbourne to visit the cafés, restaurants and independent shops there. Weather not great but it didn’t stop our enjoyment of visiting the many towns and villages in the Peak District. Our hosts were exceptional and Clive made us a lovely cup of coffee and helped us load the car on departure.

A hidden gem in the heart of Ashbourne. Impeccably furnished and decorated with style, 46 Church Street is exceptionally clean and equipped to a very high standard. Despite being just off the high street, it’s located within a quiet courtyard enabling a peaceful night’s sleep. Clive and Mari are warm welcoming hosts, with an excellent source of local knowledge. We enjoyed a lovely stay here and can’t wait to return!

Introducing
Clive & Mari Booth
Clive is a local lad, a photographer (you're surrounded by his work) and filmmaker. Mari is a dental hygienist (hence the squeaky clean interiors). They are both imaginative creatives who adore to surprise and delight their guests. They live in another part of the building and know their patch well if you want help and advice, otherwise they will leave you to enjoy yourselves in this great space.
Super friendly and welcoming hosts. Beautiful cosy accommodation, steeped in history and on the doorstep of beautiful Ashbourne and the Peak District. If I could give it more stars I would!
