The Experience
On sunny days you’ll be bathed in rays so leave the door to the sitting room open, choose from a collection of arty books and plonk yourself down on the leather sofa for a balmy doze. There’s a roomy feel, a TV that does everything including music, walls of exposed brick or stone, many of Clive’s photos to admire and a Scandinavian wood-burner that belts out the heat when the weather isn’t kind.
Cooks will be delighted with the attractive kitchen: all the kit you could need, a door to the terrace for al fresco meals, Sophie Conran Portmeirion pottery, cookery books and some welcoming treats – a bottle of wine, local ginger biscuits, popcorn, tea and a bottle of proper milk from Alkmonton dairy. Upstairs is another seating or work area and the peaceful, charming bedroom.
Saunter into town for independent shops, a good fishmonger and The Greenman public house and restaurant.

We love it here - so much so, this was our fourth visit with another planned just before Christmas! Mari and Clive are so welcoming and the accommodation is superb - all the details are taken care of - it really is a home from home where you can really relax. There is so much to see and do around the area, and for a longer stay it's a great way to visit the many sites in the Peak District.

We arrived fairly late on a Thursday evening and we were met by both Clive and Mari who very kindly helped unload the car. The cottage is beautifully modernised it was warm cosy and a bottle of cold fizz in the fridge !! The attention to detail is second to none - they have thought of everything! We had a very relaxing much needed weekend in a cosy cottage steeped in history in the beautiful countryside on the edge of the Peak District! We will definitely be back xx

Wanting to spend Christmas a bit differently this year we booked 46 Church Street. What a wonderful find! From the warm welcome by the owners, to the festive touches around the cottage, the log burner, the comfortable living area, the well equipped kitchen and the comfortable bed - it was perfect for us! Clive and Mari have managed to retain much of the charm of the old building whilst incorporating tasteful and modern furnishings. You will be very comfortable here. Only a five minute walk into the charming town of Ashbourne makes the location quiet but not isolated. We plan to return!

Clive & Mari have created a gorgeous chic and cosy home-from-home in their stunning almshouses. They are welcoming hosts, very thoughtful, always available and full of good advice. Their place has everything you need, furnished to the highest quality. The bed is perfect for a great night’s sleep after a day in the Peaks! If you drive, they will show you to a private car park which is tucked away and very secure. Right next to the Tissington trail for all you walkers. And Ashbourne has some great cafes, pubs and shops as well as many supermarkets. Highly recommended!

We very much appreciated the warm welcome from Clive and Mari and loved our week's stay in No 46. Such a comfortable cottage with great touches of luxury (loved the bathrobes amongst other things). And especially enjoyed using the Sophie Conran china and the coffee machine! Ideal base for walking - spoilt for choice - and so good to come back to the comfort of No 46 after a day out.

'What a find! We absolutely loved it here; Clive and Mari thankyou for being so welcoming (plus Rascal the cat too – lovely to watch the England game with him) Number 46 is a wonderful combination of ‘ancient and modern’ really thoughtful touches to make a stay very comfortable. We had just one problem… we should have booked a longer stay! We’ll definitely be back and for longer next time!'

46 Church Street is an absolutely delightful cottage . The stylish interior blends exquisite taste and contemporary design within a historical framework. The kitchen was a cook’s dream and all the equipment was of a very high standard . Clive and Marie were excellent hosts and we really appreciated the friendly welcome and hospitality……. Nothing was too much trouble . My daughter and l loved dining al fresco at breakfast time , in the sunny garden area . The parking spot was a useful bonus ! We will return to this very stylish oasis .

Thank you to Clive & Mari for a lovely, relaxing holiday - even impending lockdown couldn't spoil our visit! They were wonderful hosts - friendly and approachable, full of information and keen to make sure we enjoyed our stay as much as possible. Ashbourne has loads of places to eat, drink & shop and the beautiful Peak District is minutes away. However, the cottage was the real star - historical charm with modern, high-quality appliances and carefully selected furniture. Clive & Mari have clearly put a lot of love and care into 46 Church Street, I highly recommend experiencing it for yourself!

Come for much peace, quiet, leafy greenery and church bells - but you're a short hop into Ashbourne for restaurants, shops and a very interesting old church. Good walks from the door.

Location
The neighbourhood
There are views through the trees to the church, St Oswald's, described by George Eliot as “the finest mere parish church in the Kingdom”. You'll hear the bells as well. The Tissington Trail runs along the back of the cottage for walking and biking straight into the National Park and Dovedale. Chatsworth is a 20-minute drive, Haddon Hall with its magnificent Tudor gardens is 25.

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.
We loved this little cottage; it is comfortable and cosy and has been stylishly designed to have everything that you could need without losing any of the charm of the original almshouse. Clive and Mari are great hosts - very friendly and helpful without ever being intrusive. Wonderful!
