About Moor Farm Cottage

Tucked away amidst the rolling Derbyshire fields on the outskirts of Alton near Ashover is Moor Farm Cottage. This delightful cottage has been thoughtfully renovated blending characterful beams with contemporary appliances and stylish decor, it also benefits from a spacious, open-plan living space, two beautifully-appointed bedrooms, a gym and a wonderful patio with far-reaching countryside views, hot tub and barbecue; the perfect choice for couples, small families or friends looking to explore Derbyshire.

After a day full of exploration, cross the threshold into your new home-from-home and head straight into the open-plan living space where you can unwind in front of the Smart TV on either of the plush sofas. From here you can watch on as the designated chef of the group rustles up a hearty meal in the fully-equipped kitchen, sample their culinary creations at the dining table or on warmer evenings indulge in an alfresco affair by firing up the barbecue.

While away evenings with a glass of wine in hand while you admire the breath-taking views across the countryside before indulging in a soothing soak in the hot tub; the perfect place to marvel at the sun set or the stars as they fill the sky. When the evening draws to a close, head back inside to wash off the day’s adventures in the shower room before sloping off to sleep in either the super-king-size or twin/super-king-size (zip/link) bedrooms.

If you can tear yourself away from this delightful dwelling, venture into the nearby village of Ashover, with a choice of three local pubs serving real ales, including 5 times Camra pub of the year winner The Old Poet’s Corner. Ashover is also a previous winner of the Calor Gas Village of the Year award and is one of the prettiest villages in Derbyshire.

We had a fabulous stay at the Moor farm cottage. Andrew was kind enough to greet us on our arrival late in the night and gave us a complete tour of the house, gave us good local recommendations and shared the experience of building the cottage. The place has more than everything one needs during a holiday. Its very tastefully done. We used the hot tub everyday. We will surely be coming back.
Just returned from a weeks break at this fabulous cottage . We were greeted by Andrew who showed us round and explained where everything was .Cant speak highly enough of the facilities everything and more that you would expect in a holiday cottage .The hospitality basket and fresh flowers were a lovely surprise and the hot tub most welcome .We hope to return soon and would recommend to anyone .Thank you to Andrew and Lesley who go the extra to make you feel welcome

We had a lovely stay at Moor Farm Cottage, it is furnished to a high standard and was extremely clean. We have stayed in many cottages and lodges but this is the first time where there was just everything you could think of it was very well equipped. Welcome pack was lovely all local goodies. Hot tub was great, there was a very well equipped gym for your use which was a bonus. Cottage is in a good location not far to nearby towns. Would love to return, thank you for a lovely stay. Fiona & Kevin
Amazing stay, from the minute Andrew met us to show us around. It was my daughters birthday the following day, banners and balloons welcomed us alongside a beautiful welcome pack, stunning flowers and an incredible courtyard where you can see the most beautiful sunsets would highly recommend to anyone else thinking of going. Thank you we will definitely be back

Hi, what an amazing cottage. It has everything you could possibly think of. So well furnished too. Hosts were so accommodating and even arranged a birthday cake and decorations for my sisters birthday. Hot tub was also perfect. Will definitely return. Thank you.
Andrew and Leslie always on hand Went the extra mile to make sure our stay was perfect. Cottage was amazing everything you could want and more a real credit to the owners.
Enjoyed a quiet week ,cottage was as listed and better. Beds and settee comfy,kitchen well equipped,great wifi,warm and cosy as the weather wasnt great. Made good use of the gym,some nice local walks and of course the hot tub. Andrew met us on arrival and showed us round the property ,was on hand but we didnt need anything. Thanks for the welcome pack ,and the comprehensive booklet for all in and around the cottage
Gorgeous cottage. A real modern homely feel. Everything you could wantneed catered for, great host, lovely extra touches on arrival. Clean, quiet, fantastic scenery and cottage, chairs and hot tub positioned perfectly to allow you to be able to enjoy this with a chance to sit out front to watch the sunrise and sitting in the hot tub or at the table out the back allows you to watch the gorgeous sun set in this idyllic countryside location. Had an amazing few days and would highly recommend.
Caroline
We were met on arrival by one of the owners who showed us around and explained everything and was also contactable for any queries. The cottage was much bigger than it looked online. Very comfortable and we would definitely recommend. The hot tub and gym were great. Local area was beautiful and Matlock only approx a 15 minute drive away.
Very clean cottage,with large rooms. in a great location in quiet countryside yet only a short drive from towns and places to visit, Owners very friendly and helpful.
Wow, what a lovely cottage. We were welcomed to the property and showed around by Andrew, the welcome pack of chocolates, coffee, tea and fresh flowers were a lovely touch. The local farm breakfast pack of sausages, eggs, bacon, hash brown, mushrooms, tomatoes apple juice, oatcakes, milk ensured the Saturday started off well. We made use of the hot tub on three occasions, despite the wind and rain and it was great. The gym was also used over the weekend and this is a lovely addition to the cottage. Plenty of places locally to eat out and the food was lovely. We ate at the Black Swan in Ashover and The Kelstege Inn. What an amazing property, would thoroughly recommend this to anyone wanting to have a relaxing break away. Thank you Andrew and Lesley
Caroline
We had a fabulous long weekend at Moor Farm Cottage, spotlessly clean, well equipped, comfy beds. ..fabulous hot tub, so peaceful of an evening. Andrew & Lesley met us on arrival & very helpful with what's around the area. Black Swan in Ashover fabulous food. Would definitely recommend Moor Farm Cottage & will be back.
Lovely cottage, great location. Would definitely recommend.
Carole
We had the most wonderful week long stay at this beautiful cottage for our annual girlie getaway. The cottage itself is spacious, spotlessly clean and very well appointed, the owners have literally thought of everything you could possibly want or need to make your stay perfect!! Well located and the hot tub was sublime especially in the snow after a long day shopping at Christmas market. Andrew and Lesley are very friendly and attentive hosts nothing too much trouble. We will definitely look to return next year. Thank you for everything.
Rachel
Such a lovely well appointed cottage. As described however the photos do not do it justice. Very friendly hosts, all new fixtures and fittings, high end furniture, comfy couches. Beds and bedding you want to 'sleep in' for. Gorgeous bathroom with double sinks. The welcome basket, snuggle blankets, books and games adding the personal touch to a wonderful spacious cottage. Underfloor heating in the bathroom, individual room heating, motion sensor lights. The hot tub is certainly large enough and the view from it so peaceful.
Where do I start . from the moment of arrival we were met by Andrew .who showed us around to ensure we knew where everything was ...could not believe the cleanliness of the cottage .the welcome pack .flowers in ever room . Lovely decorated to a very high standard.outside fantastic hot tub.and seating area .not forgetting the well equipped gym ..I could go on and on it was that good ..by far the best cottage we have ever hired and will certainly book again. Thank you AlanCarolyn
Luxurious property yet with all the home comforts you need. Beautiful views to the countryside, very welcoming hosts and a generous welcome pack with local delights. We made the most of using both the hot tub and gym. We will definitely be returning
Jonathan
A wonderful stay! Everything you could need was provided and hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. The property is finished to a very high standard and we felt at home right away. Comfy beds, excellent showers, great wifi, gym and hot tub both used. We are very likely to return!
Anne ie
This is one of the best places we have stayed in. Everything you need and more and lovely extras like welcome hamper,toiletries and even milk in the fridge.The pictures don't do it justice and loved seeing the dogs outside the window.Very friendly and helpful hosts who have thought of everything to make your stay perfect and it was.Andy and Anne Marie,Glasgow
Deborah
We had the honour of being the first to stay in this fabulous cottage. The quality of the furnishings was of a very high standard indeed. Beds really comfy. Welcome pack very thoughtful with local tea, coffee and chocolates etc. Hosts also supplied very useful things like foil, cling film, washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets, salt and pepper, also tupperware provided in case we wanted a picnic. Plenty of toilet rolls left too. Cottage very private both front and rear and the setting was lovely. Very good quality hot tub and garden furniture. All in all would wholeheartedly recommend.
