"Excellent location for both walking and shopping."
Perfect for the dogs too. Lovely restaurants on the doorstep but the house was quiet and cosy.

"Had a lovely week's stay at Liberty House."
Perfectly positioned in the town of Ashbourne within easy walking distance to the town centre and the Tissington trail is literally just across the road with Sainsbury's nearby. Liberty House was cosy and quirky with everything you needed (with the exception of a dustpan and brush) the log burner was lovely!
Lynn Thankyou so much for your lovely feedback!! I am glad you enjoyed the house. Claire Property Owner

"This is a spacious and comfortable property."
It's the second time we have stayed in Liberty House and it is perfect for a holiday in the Derbyshire Dales. The kitchen is well equipped; the large cooker is particularly impressive. It is also very useful that there is a utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer and a washing line outside. The little yard with table and chairs is perfect for a glass of wine after a long day's cycling. It is very charmingly furnished and decorated and the beds and sofas are very comfortable; can't really recommend it highly enough.
Hi Jenny Thankyou for your lovely review! I am pleased that the beds are comfy and you came back again. Claire Property Owner

"What an amazing cottage!"
Clean, very comfortable and homely. The decor was great, nice and warm with the bonus of a log fire….so cosy. Plus a brilliant shower and bath. The location was fantastic for exploring wider Peak District. A lovely touch with a bottle of wine waiting for us. Could not have wanted anything more.
Hi Greg I am pleased you liked the cottage. Thankyou for your lovely review Claire Property Owner

"We had a wonderful stay at Liberty House."
The photos don’t do the place justice. Fantastically styled and so cosy - perfect for our January getaway. The town of Ashbourne has loads to see with lots of pubs. There were also so many great walking routes nearby. We had to keep an eye on our dog in the garden because he’s small and could squeeze through the gate if he tried but this wasn’t an issue. The owner was also really friendly and approachable when we reached out. We will definitely be back - there’s more pubs to see and more walks to do!

The owner,Claire, contacted us with all the details & answered questions we had about the area. She recommended several places to visit and all were great.the property was spotless and had everything you could need. We would definitely recommend it and hopefully have another visit.

"Great property in a ideal location."
Large interiors and well decorated for the period. Double bedroom to the rear with twin singles at the front. Large family bathroom adjacent to the bedrooms with roll top bath and corner shower all of which were very clean and tidy. Dining room at the front following on to a large lounge area then kitchen and finally utility room with toilet. Small courtyard garden with seating. Parking along towards the school with plenty of places after "school run" time. There is a small parking area directly outside and opposite which we used to unpack our vehicle. Overall a fantastic place to stay.
Thankyou for the great review! I am pleased you enjoyed the house and Ashbourne. Claire Property Owner

"Liberty House is as beautiful and stylish as the photographs on the listing suggest and is a really delightful, quite, historical area of Ashbourne."
It feels like a loved home that has been cared for and built up over the years, full of character and comfort. It's also really well equipped with cleaning products, toilet paper, kitchen roll, bin bags, foil etc, so you don't feel you have to bring everything with you/immediately go shopping. There's no bossy instructions and rules pinned up anywhere, so you feel welcomed and trusted, as if you're living in a friend's house for a while. Thank you Claire!
Joanne Thankyou for such a glowing review!!! I am so pleased you enjoyed the house. Claire Property Owner

"Very nice cottage and everything you need is there really enjoyed our stay nice and relaxing"
Hi William I am pleased that you enjoyed your stay and had a relaxing time in Ashbourne. Claire Property Owner

"Wonderful cottage, set in a quiet town, clise to the church and local places of interest, Dovedale is Wonderful just a few miles away."
The cottage is beautiful and quirky perfect for a couple with 2 children, my favourite part was the amazing bath, to chill and relax after a day exploring, thoroughly enjoyed staying at the cottage, the only thing I would say is please watch out for how things have been washed up, some of the plates and cooking trays were not clean to my specifications and we did get a few splinters from the floors, but overall we found it absolutely delightful.
Hi Lucy I am pleased that you enjoyed your stay and liked the house. Claire Property Owner

"We enjoy our stay however a couple of improvements could have been made."
The bedding on the double bed was ver tired. It was really bobbly and uncomfortable and had seen better days. The single bed next to the window was very noisy, like the screws needed tightening.
-
"Great contact from Claire, with key details, cottage and parking details and info about restaurants and the local area."
-
"Great location with everything you need."
A very quirky and cosy property, lovely and cool during the hot weather. Only very minor issue was the shower, which was missing the hand shower attachment, and the cubicle which had seen better days. That aside, highly recommended and good communication from the owner.
Hi Cliff I am pleased you liked the house and location. Thankyou for your review. Claire Property Owner
-
"This was a lovely property, beautifully decorated and spacious."
It was well equipped and comfortable - the large bathroom with deep bath tub felt particularly luxurious. The pretty back yard was very useful for our laundry after long cycle rides on the Tissington Trail, and the large cooker was a treat and very easy to use. I would definitely stay there again if we come back to Ashbourne.

"We had a really enjoyable, relaxing break at Liberty House."
It's a comfortable home with everything you need. We were even able to enjoy the patio area one day and it's a real sun trap. I slept really well as the bed was so comfortable. Ashbourne is a lovely town with lots of interesting independent shops and a lot of history. Thanks to Claire for the welcome bottle of wine. little things like make a difference. I would definitely recommend this place to family and friends either with or without dogs.
Hi Deborah Thankyou for saying that you would recommend Liberty House. I am pleased you enjoyed Ashbourne and had a good stay. Claire Property Owner

"The cottage was lovely and as nice as it seemed on the pictures."
Really nice to get a welcome bottle of wine too. It was very stressful trying to arrange key collection on the morning- there was no reply to my message about key collection the night before, neither phone number was connected and Sykes didn’t have any alternative numbers for the owners. Was hard to know whether we should set off for Ashbourne or not as we didn’t know if we’d have anywhere to stay when we got there. Thankfully it was ok in the end. Parking was also more difficult than we expected based on the write up on the website and we had to park further away than we anticipated. But all in all a good holiday cottage and location for exploring the surrounding area.
Hi Vicki I am pleased that you enjoyed the cottage. I am sorry that there was no key collection information- I think the email I send out sometimes automatically goes to the spam folder. Unfortunately I was away and had left alternative phone numbers. Claire Property Owner

"Disappointed overall."
No welcome pack of local produce - a bottle of supermarket bucks fizz doesn't fit the bill alone. No information folder for the property, facilities or local amenities - only a drawer stuffed with leaflets. The property has the potential to provide a really comfortable stay in a period character property but is unfortunately let down by some serious maintenance issues with the walls and ceilings in some rooms (water leakage?) and lack of detailed cleaning. My wife spent a few hours cleaning out the kitchen, especially the cupboards and glassware inside much of which was dusty and had greasy finger prints. Some people may think we are being over critical but we were moved to write this feedback following our experience on departure. We stripped the bedding as requested only to find we had been sleeping with a stained duvet cover and recent blood mark on a mattress cover. This must have been spotted at the last changeover with a change of the fitted sheet. The last straw was when we came to use the vacuum cleaner for a quick clean as we normally do at a rental cottage; the vacuum cleaner was completely full of detritus. There are many other smaller issues (leaking wash basin taps, missing shower attachment) but enough said. The owner is clearly an accomplished artist; some of that detail needs to be applied to the rental process and property condition itself.

"A beautiful property; located just a short walk away from the centre, the property was well equipped with everything you need."
, A good location for exploring surrounding areas, we would recommend this property, the host was very accommodating and helpful.

"We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Ashbourne and to Liberty House."
Lovely clean property with a comfortable bed. Spacious living room, separate dining room and some quirky decor in keeping with the age of the property. Plenty of pots, pans, crockery, glassware and utensils. Equipped with white goods the utility room would be very handy for longer visits. A courtyard garden which would be a very pleasant space in the summer. We didn't venture beyond Ashbourne as we enjoyed mooching about town, a bit of window shopping walking to and around the big park with our little dog, up steps and onto Bellevue Road and down into town again. Plenty of cafes for breakfasts or lunches and we enjoyed the Bridge Inn for more of a main meal. Claire was very helpful with directions and advice about the house. We parked by the school opposite the Church. Hope to return.

"The property is designed beautifully & is in an ideal location."
We have stayed in many properties and found this one one of the best for being fully equipped with everything you need during your stay . Claire the owner is always on hand and supplied us with some very useful information for our stay .
Hi Sharon I am pleased you liked the design of the property and its location. I am pleased you enjoyed it. Thankyou for the review. Claire Property Owner

"We had a lovely week at Liberty House."
It was very comfortable and we all enjoyed baths in its fabulous bathroom. Ashbourne is a lovely old town and lots of walks nearby. Many thanks
Hi Anna I am pleased you enjoyed your time in Ashbourne especially the Baths! Claire Property Owner

"We thought the house was beautiful and perfectly situated."
The only issues were the parking which was not easy and also the heating which we could never get to run at a level that was comfortable, it was either boiling hot or would suddenly switch itself off for no apparent reason. The individual radiator controls did not work at all. Over all though it was a very lovely house and obviously well cared for.
-
"Liberty college was a great place to stay in Ashbourne."
It was very central, walking distance into the town. It was very well equipped, although I did miss a dishwasher. It was comfortable, clean, creatively furnished, dog friendly and welcoming. We appreciated the bottle of wine! Claire was very helpful and responded promptly with any queries. We were able to park the car close by. Ashbourne welcomes dogs in shops, cafes and pubs. Plenty of walks. Tissington trail is on the doorstep and close to Dovedale and Carsington Waters. We didnt want to leave!!!

"Fabulous cottage in a lovely area"
-
"Wow! We have stayed in lots of cottages and this was by far our favourite one, everything you needed and more, as we walked in it felt at home, the bathroom is amazing blew us away."
Ashbourne and surrounding areas are beautiful. Please can you also locate this property near the sea for our summer holidays lol ....little Ted loved it also
-
"It was a privilege to stay in this Grade 2 listed cottage."
Everything we needed for our stay was provided. Very comfortable beds and a chandelier in the bathroom. Very decadent. No parking immediately outside the property, but ample just a short walk away. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again as we had a great time and the dogs loved it too.
Thankyou for your lovely Comments! Property Owner

"Liberty House has a cosy home from home feeling and is convenient for exploring the lovely town of Ashbourne and the Peak District."
There is everything you need to enjoy a comfortable stay from a teaspoon to the beautiful roll top bath. The courtyard is the ideal place to eat alfresco or relax with a book and glass of wine. Claire sent a detailed message before arrival with useful information about the house, town and places to eat. A thoughtful touch thank you
-

"Stunning house."
We will be back.

"Liberty house Is simply lovely."
Everything provided that you could need for a comfortable stay. Kitchen fab! Cooked several meals on the range. The bath was a very welcome luxury after a days walking. It was nice to lay back and watch the birds out of the bathroom window. The location is great. Shops, restaurants, pubs just a few minutes walk away. Food good at the George and Dragon. The bed was super comfortable and we slept very well. All in all a lovely stay at Liberty house and I would highly recommend.

Its location is perfect for all local amenities and attractions. Plenty of things to do locally and plenty of restaurants and pubs within walking distance. The local Ashbourne people are among the friendliest we have ever come accross.

"Fantastic house to spend time over the Christmas period with some lovely decorations and a few treats left for us too."
A very special touch. The property is exactly as listed and photographed. We had a wonderful week spent in a beautiful home and enjoyed making fires in the living room too. It is easy to walk into the main town from the cottage and loads of walks to do only a short drive away. They also let pets stay which is very good. I would defiantly recommend! Thank you
-
"The property was located very close to the main town square and was beautifully decorated and the furniture was lovely."
The cottage was very warm and cosy. The owner had left a bottle of Prosecco and a box of chocolates which was a lovely touch. The log burner was lovely especially when it was snowing.
-
"Lovely, quirky and very comfortable and warm cottage in a perfect location , just moments from all the shops, restaurants and pubs."
-
"Liberty house was in a nice location for the town of Ashbourne ."
The house was comfortable with good facilities and the king size bed was a dream The only drawback was the lack of curtains at the bedroom. The bathroom wasn't overlooked but I felt very exposed whilst sitting in the bath. The owner very kindly left us chocs and presence. THANK YOU
-

Very hospitable host , answered our queries promptly and any issue or question was remedied as quickly as possible .

-
"Great location in Ashbourne, a lovely place to stay with all sorts of activities in the area from Alton Towers theme park to walking and caving."
The accommodation was great, the only convenience missing was a dish washer. There are double yellow lines outside the house but not a problem as there is free parking just down the road near the church and school.
-
"We enjoyed a fantastic week in Liberty House."
It’s a beautiful character property with great facilities and well located for trips out in the Peak District. There are little bits of artistic design throughout the house - we loved the map on the kitchen wall - and the bathroom is stunning and perfect for a relaxing bath or shower after long walks. There are plenty of shops nearby and a range of cafes and pubs in Ashbourne and the kitchen is well equipped if eating in. We had all the information we needed and good communication from the owner before and during our stay. Would definitely visit again.
-
"Utterly delightful house in perfect place for exploring an area that has so many things to see and do including great walks from your doorstep and a gorgeous bath to soak in."
The kitchen is very well equipped but a M&S foodhall and two supermarkets nearby mean a good choice of ready-meals available if you just want to chill in the courtyard with a glass and not take the short walk into town to eat out. Very helpful owner and free parking.
-
"Lovely property, very well equipped, beds extremely comfortable, the owner has made a big effort to make this holiday let a fantastic place to stay."
Location just on the edge of Ashbourne was also ideal. Many thanks.
-
"Cottage was spotless, beautiful and perfectly located."
Owner of the cottage was very helpful, providing lots of key info before we arrived and kindly left us a bottle of prosecco to enjoy during our stay! Only very minor negative would be that the kitchen lacked some of the staples I would expect to see in a self catering cottage, I couldnt find any salt for my avocado! Maybe worth just buying up a few basic seasonings/spices/condiments for the guests? Would 100% recommend and will probably visit again!
-
"Perfect location in beautiful market town."
The house was really well presented and gorgeous inside. would highly recommend to family and friends for a get away.
-

"We were impressed initially as the house was bigger than the photos."
Super comfy sofas and living room was lovely and cool during the heatwave when we stayed. Courtyard garden was perfect for us and our dog. We are out there several times. Shower was powerful didn't use the beautiful bath though. Beds were comfy too. Only issue was the front bedroom had a lot of noise in the mornings from lorries. Back bedroom was very quiet. Perfect location. We parked daily at the leisure centre for £6 each day. The town was wonderful. Lots of choice for food and drink. Sainsbury's very nearby too. Ideal location for exploring the Peak District. A great find. Thank you for a wonderful break.

"Place was filthy and your customer service pathetic."
In my opinion!
-
"The voucher from sykes means we keep booking with you"
-
"Beautiful, very homely house in a great location close to the centre."
-
"Beautiful property in great location."
Lots of space for all. Could do with some extra kit in the kitchen such as baking trays and dishes etc to enable full use of the lovely big range.
-
"Lovely property with everything we needed."
Excellent position in Ashbourne.
-
"Great location."
Lovely well equipped accommodation within easily reach of lots of activities and convenient for a local supermarket too.
-
"We were dismayed to find that pots, pans, glasses and some crockery were not clean when we got them out to use."
We had to clean them ourselves before we could use them. Also the stove had been left full of ashes, unburnt coal etc so we couldn't use it. There were no instructions about where to deposit it all so we left it.
I really appreciate your feedback. I have taken on board all comments, on this occasion the tenants must of left the crockery dirty and it was overlooked. I will remember to check in future, thank you very much. Property Owner

"Liberty House is a lovely property within a short walk of the town centre and it's facilities."
It is cosy and well equipped and we hope to return in the future. There is no parking outside but free street parking is not far away as is the pay-and-display car park at the leisure centre two minutes walk away. The start of the Tissington Trail cycle and walking path is two minutes away and short drives take you to some lovely Peak District locations. We can recommend Impromptu cafe just down Church Street and Maison du Biere bar and off license also on Church Street for good quality refreshment and friendly service. Angela and Neil Gallagher

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 collecting of rides and attractions is just a short drive away.
