Swallow Cottage is a coverted barn

Swallow Cottage has been created through the tasteful conversion of one of the outbuildings at Dove Mount Farm, right on the edge of the peak district, which offers quality, compact, comfortable accommodation, adjacent to a country lane. The cottage is beamed and has superb views across Dovedale from the first floor. It is situated on the outskirts of the village of Thorpe in 25 acres of organic farmland on the edge of the Peak Park, only 150 metres from the Tissington Trail and a myriad of bridleways and footpaths. Ashbourne is 2 miles away and Carsington Water with its nature trail is 4 miles away. Buxton, Haddon Hall, Chatsworth House and Alton Towers are all within 16 miles. Golf nearby. Shop 2 miles, PO ¾ mile, pub 1 mile.

Country Cottage
Great location with beautiful views of the countryside. Fantastic pub just down the street aways. The place is spacious. There are no laundry facilities with this cottage. The beds are slightly uncomfortable, and one of the showers was not working very well.

Just right
The location of this barn is so easy. Very short drive into Asbourne and surrounding villages and towns. But walk out your door and the Tissington Trail is across the field and you are in the middle of beautiful countryside. The barn is clean and had everything we needed for our stay. This was our 2nd visit and we would certainly stay again.

Great stay for a local Wedding
Swallow cottage was perfect for our stay for a wedding at Tissington Hall. Lovely and close to both Tissington and Ashbourne. Jackie was very welcoming and helpful on our arrival and the cottage had everything we required for our two night stay.

We had a lovely stay at swallow cottage. We're a family of 2 adults and 3 children and used the cottage as a base for our trip to Alton towers. The property was about 15 minutes drive to the theme park. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. There is a lovely garden area also. Thanks for a great stay.

Fantastic family house
Excellent place for family holiday and not far from local attractions such as Alton towers and walking places although we did not have time to walk as we spent most of the times in Alton towers. Nice kitchen with all white goods available except waching machine. 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms including 1 ensuite. Very nice spacious garden outside with BBQ facility with plenty of chairs and table along with small swing. Landlord is very nice and we had a very warm welcome. The only minor thing is mattresses upstairs are not very comfortable and also struggled to find the place using post code.

Ideally placed cottage.
Jackie, our host, was very welcoming and helpful. The cottage was comfortable , well equipped and ideally placed for exploring the locality. We much appreciated the wine and chocolate which helped us to relax after an arduous journey in the heat of summer.
