Winnow Barn - Self-catering in Derbyshire
Ilam, Ashbourne, Derbyshire
England,
Regno Unito
You’re in the most beautiful part of Derbyshire; you could happily hole up here for weeks. All is deeply peaceful and comfortable in this fabulous barn conversion, with acres of fields to roam and your own garden to relax in. Find soft greys and lime plaster, lovely linen, latched doors and modern bathrooms (some baths, some showers). It’s the same in the stunning open-plan living area on the first floor with its amazing views and high vaulted ceilings.
Original local art adorns the walls, a wood-burner encourages lounging and cooks will be chuffed with the smart kitchen. The Clarkes – lovely people who live in the farmhouse – provide games, books, advice and logs. They’ll also leave you a homemade cake.
Nearby you’ll discover Peak District National Park walks, a good pub, Chatsworth House, Tissington, Haddon and Kedleston Hall.

Local points of interest from Andrea Clarke:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Andrea Clarke:
- 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 down to the river Dove in Milldale. Guided walks can be arranged for all abilities.
- Explore the local market town of Ashbourne with a thriving antiques quarter and weekly market. Buxton - the pretty spa town with many shops, cafes and the Opera House. Bakewell - how could you resist a visit to the famous Bakewell Pudding shop!
- You're a 30 minute stroll to picturesque Dovedale and the famous stepping stones (or a 5 mins drive!) Cycle straight from the farm or for an easier ride choose one of the picturesque cycle trails close by (bike hire available) with cafes along the route.
- Alton Towers is only 20 mins away...a fabulous day out for all the family. Matlock Park Farm is always a hit as is Peak Wildlife Park and The Heights of Abraham. Why not hitch a ride at Peak steam Railway or Crich Tramway Museum. - great fun!
- Check out the wildlife, curlews, skylarks, buzzards, fieldfare, red kite, and kestrels are amongst a few of the regular visitors visible from the Barn….and not forgetting Dave of course, our resident barn owl can be heard calling most nights!
- Spend a day at Chatsworth exploring the gardens, looking around the house before a picnic on the lawns beside the cascade. Aafternoon tea in the farm shop cafe is always a treat. Kedleston, Sudbury, Haddon and Hardwick Halls are all a great day out too.
