    Aside from the peace and tranquility of watching the deer, our ‘No Deer’ pod was exceptional with every detail covered. So cosy and clean, with all essentials and more. Fantastic communication from initial booking to departure. See you again ❤️

  • "We had a fabulous time at the pod."

    It is very secluded and quiet, perfect getaway to relax. Jane is a very welcoming host - she even met us in the car when the app took us to the centre of the village. For a self-catering place, it is stocked with items you usually have to bring with you. So don’t worry about washing up liquid, tea towel, oil, salt and pepper. If you want to do any walks from the pod make sure you have a hiking app that will track you as it is very easy to lose the path. Overall we had a fabulous time.

    Hi Claire & Mo, great to meet you both and thank you for the great feedback! I will pass on the recommendation about the walking app to future guests! Glad you had a fabulous time! Kind regards Jane Property Owner

About the location

ASHBOURNE

Matlock 15.7 miles; Bakewell 16.6 miles; Chatsworth 20.4 miles.

Lying at the southern end of the Peak District, Ashbourne is a perfect example of an English market town - market place with stalls, eccentric street plan, narrow cobbled alleys, coaching inns and almshouses. In its heyday in 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 in terms of restaurants and inns and is regarded as something of a haven for antique hunters - but don’t expect a bargain! For those who prefer more outdoor pursuits, the Dove and Manifold Valleys are close by and for thrill seekers Alton Towers with its exciting collection of rides and attractions is just a short drive away.
