Winnow Stables - Self-catering cottage in Derbyshire
Ilam, Ashbourne, DE6 2AD, Derbyshire
England,
Reino Unido
Families will enjoy getting stuck in on the farm collecting eggs, feeding the pygmy goats and making friends with the donkeys. Owner Andrea will leave you her famous lemon drizzle cake, plus a basket of logs to load up the wood burner.
Outside there’s a table and chairs and space to play but no garden – unnecessary with the patchwork quilt of fields to romp in. Bring your bikes and cycle along the narrow (and quiet) country lanes – there’s a lockable shed to keep them in when you’re not pedalling.
The Peak District is yours to marvel at, with a number of National Trust properties a half-hour drive away: Chatsworth House hosts festivals in the summer, or you could try orienteering at Ilam Park. Active families can walk straight from the doorstep to Dovedale’s Stepping Stones; pack up a picnic and make a day of it.

Local points of interest from Andrea Clarke:
Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Andrea Clarke:
- Amble up the fields just as the sun is about to set, perhaps take a picnic rug and a bottle of fizz to see the sun set over the hills... look up and see the noisy curlews heading home and spot a scurrying hare whizzing through the meadows
- Fabulous walks and cycling from the doorstep suitable for all abilities. Exert yourself in Wolfscote Dale, admire views from the top of Thorpe Cloud or simply amble beside the river Dove in Milldale.
- Spend a day at Chatsworth pottering around the gardens and looking around the house before a lazy picnic on the lawns beside cascade. Kedleston, Sudbury, Haddon and Hardwick Halls are all within easy reach too.
- Take a morning walk from the doorstep across the fields. Take in the gorgeous views as you hike across Bunster and then descend to the famous Dovedale Stepping Stones. A little more walking over fields until you reach The Old Dog in time for lunch.
- Check out the wildlife, curlews, skylarks, buzzards and kestrels are amongst a few of the regular visitors visible from the barn.If you prefer something slightly less flighty we have pet goats Wilfy and Jimbo who are always happy to receive a cuddle
- Explore the local market towns of Ashbourne, Bakewell and Leek. Wonderful cafes and restaurants to try out.Alton Towers, Matlock Park Farm, Go Ape and Peak Wildlife Park are all close and great days out for all the family.
