Self Catering Cottages in Ashbourne

Farm Stay’s ability to search for the finest self catering properties available makes it easy to find the perfect holiday cottage around Ashbourne – often described as the ultimate Derbyshire destination.

Self catering holiday cottages are suited to families and couples looking to ‘escape’ – allowing you to be in total control of your own holiday and affording you more privacy that you’d get at a hotel. You can also be assured of a high standard; every property is inspected and quality assessed by the AA or Visit England under the nationally recognised Star grading scheme.


The southern gateway to the Peak District, Ashbourne is one of Derbyshire’s finest old market towns. It combines a medieval street pattern and over 200 listed buildings with a wealth of independent shops, artisan foods and stylish boutiques nestling alongside familiar high street names.

One of the joys of self catering is its flexibility over where you eat. There is certainly plenty of choice in Ashbourne to suit every taste and budget – from restaurants, cosy tearooms and family friendly pubs.

Ashbourne is surrounded by beautiful countryside, making it an ideal base for a short break or longer holiday.

As well as the infinite possibilities for walking, cycling and other outdoor activities, you’re also within easy reach of several well known stately homes like Chatsworth and Hardwick Hall.
