WELCOME TO DOVEHOLES COTTAGE

Doveholes Cottage is situated in Derbyshire's beautiful Ecclesbourne Valley, seven miles east of Ashbourne, seven miles south of Matlock. Close by is a footpath across the meadows to the unspoilt village of Kirk Ireton, a mile to the north, with its 12th century church, real ale pub and shop. This village featured many times in ITV’s "Peak Practice", as did Idrigehay, which is just a mile to the south.

The cottage, in a courtyard of traditional 19^th century stone farm buildings, started life as a cattle byre and dovehouse. It has been sympathetically converted to retain many of the original features, including the doveholes, without sacrificing the high standard of facilities and comfort expected of a four star establishment.

It sleeps up to four persons plus a baby in one double and one twin bedroom, both en-suite. A cot and high chair are provided & a reliable babysitting service is usually available. One dog may be accommodated by prior arrangement for which there is an extra charge, currently £20 per week.

Outside there is a paved area with a barbecue and outdoor furniture overlooking a grass field with views down the beautiful Ecclesbourne valley to Idridgehay and beyond.

The cottage is suitable for all ages, being single storey with the facility to drive right up to the door, enabling guests to save their energies for their leisure pursuits or the less mobile to enjoy a holiday without difficulty.

Public transport is available from a bus stop half mile away down a fairly steep hill and trains are available at Belper and Matlock, each seven miles, and from Derby 12 miles away. However a holiday without a car available would be difficult. There is parking right at the door for up to four cars.

The cottage is very well placed for access to beauty spots, such as Carsington Water and Dovedale, and the many Industrial sites along the National Heritage Corridor of the Derwent valley, while for the energetic there are theme parks, cycling, horse riding and water sports. Many specialist shops and factory outlets are to be found in the in the area. Local maps, guides and leaflets are provided.

Doveholes Cottage is managed by the on site owners who can usually be contacted 24 hours.

The quality and value may be judged by the numbers of guests who make repeat bookings and recommend us to family and friends. This includes families who come twice every year, and one family who came here for no less than four separate weeks in one year. Linen and towels, heating and electricity are all included in the price.
