Ashbourne Cottages

Holiday Cottages in Ashbourne

A charming market town that has changed little since the 18th century, Ashbourne nestles in a lush valley on the edge of the Peak District National Park.  Ashbourne is possibly most famous for its annual Shrovetide Football Match where two teams battle it out using the whole town as the ‘pitch’ with goal posts literally three miles apart.

With its cobbled market place, Georgian buildings, antique shops, boutiques, bistros and the glorious Peak District on your doorstep, Ashbourne is a perfect place for a peaceful cottage holiday.
