The cottage was absolutely stunning, it was like a magical storybook.. So interesting to look around. Spotlessy clean. The welcome we had when we arrived was so lovely and heartwarming. The gorgeous cake, wine and a lovely gift for Mother’s Day. I would highly recommend this lovely cottage, it made our stay very special. Thankyou for your lovely personal touches, we had lovely relaxing weekend away xx

I was extremely impressed by the Old Clockmakers before we even arrived.. We were planning a Christmas dinner for my elderly parents and had a number of enquiries regarding chairs, tables, etc. The owner couldn't have been more helpful and even arranged to have an additional chair and coffee table taken to the property for us. When we arrived, the house had been beautifully decorated for Christmas and plentiful goodies were left out for us on the table. It really was the warmest welcome. Unfortunately, we had a minor mishap with a lock to the outside shed but, after a quick phone call, the owner's husband came and fixed it for us while we restored ourselves at the pub. The house is small (we were five adults and it was a bit of a squeeze), but utterly charming and my brother (who knows about such things) said that it was the best equipped house rental kitchen he had ever seen. All in all, we had a lovely time and this lovely house played a huge part in making what may well be our last Christmas with our parents very special.

The Old Clockmakers is a lovely place to stay.. The location is excellent within easy reach of bars, restaurants, shopping and the Tissington Trail for excellent walks. The cottage is tucked away so you feel like you are somewhere remote rather than in the bustling town of Ashbourne. The cottage was spotless and exactly as described with a very well equipped kitchen, basic essentials and a lovely cake to welcome us on arrival. We really enjoyed our short break and will certainly return in the future. Steve & Janice

Beautifully finished house.. Has all the things needed for modern living, especially with a preteen! (The listing does say 6 bathrooms, there are three. Which is more than ample!) Thank you for the cake and all the hints beforehand re parking and when we got there directing us to a firework display, plus the added bonus of Halloween crackers and decorations. Every person was thought of and that made our break. Thank you Su!

This cottage lived up to the photos put on Sykes, beautifully decorated to reflect the history of the cottage, the owner Su,had thought of everything to make our family holiday very comfortable from basics including toilet roll to picnic ware.. Thoughtful touch was a beautiful cake left for us to enjoy, it was delicious. The owner had also supplied a range of leaflets regarding the local area, and an information book about the property and surrounding areas, very helpful to help us plan our holiday. Ashbourne was a lovely historic market town, with good shopping facilitiesand historic buildings and on the doorstop to gateway to the Peak District. Upon our return, Su sent us a lovely email, which confirmed our glowing comments re the property. We would not hesitate to recommend this property to our friends and family.

So lovely to enjoy the Victoria sponge cake left for us.. The beds were very comfortable and of course the property was beautifully furnished. We had a lovely time enjoying Ashbourne and Dovedale.
