Winnow Barn is a home-like vacation retreat located in Ashbourne, Derbyshire, within the scenic Heart of England region. Nestled on a former dairy farm in a peaceful hamlet, this property offers a serene escape amidst the stunning landscapes of the Peak District National Park, positioned conveniently between Dovedale and the Manifold Valley. Accommodating up to eight guests, the barn features four beautifully appointed bedrooms, each complete with en-suite facilities, ensuring comfort and privacy for all visitors.
The heart of Winnow Barn is its expansive open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area, characterized by a vaulted ceiling adorned with exposed beams. This inviting space is perfect for socializing, especially with the warmth of a log-burning stove that creates a cozy atmosphere for evenings in. The kitchen is well-equipped for those who enjoy cooking, and for those who prefer dining out, a variety of nearby pubs, restaurants, and cafes provide ample options. Guests can also indulge in the eco-friendly wood-fired hot tub, which overlooks ancient meadows, available for reservation at an additional cost.
While Winnow Barn remains a working farm, it is designed with relaxation in mind. Visitors can interact with friendly animals that roam the property, and during spring, there may even be opportunities to bottle-feed a hungry lamb. Adventurous guests will appreciate the direct access to footpaths leading to Dovedale, the Manifold Valley, and Hartington, making it an ideal base for exploring the area's natural beauty. The property is also equipped with modern amenities, including a flat-screen TV, Wi-Fi, and a secure bike store, catering to both comfort and convenience.
Winnow Barn is family-friendly, welcoming children aged five and older, and offers private parking for up to four cars. However, it is important to note that pets are not permitted, and the property does not accept hen or stag parties. For single-sex groups, all guests must be at least 25 years old. Beyond the barn, guests can explore local attractions such as Whiston Hall Golf Club, Skyride, and the renowned Alton Towers theme park, making it a versatile getaway for those seeking both relaxation and adventure in the heart of the English countryside.
