Ashbourne 2.1 miles. Tucked away in the idyllic village of Mayfield near Ashbourne, Staffordshire, is this fantastic three-bedroom house, Meadow View. Named after the charming views on offer from the property and making up half of the former village pub, Meadow View is a superb dwelling for a group or family of six. Look forward to cooking up a storm in the well-equipped kitchen/diner, ready to savour at the dining table for six, or alfresco out in the rear enclosed garden as you soak up the last of the day’s sun. After dinner, retreat to the light and airy sitting room, where you can curl up on the plush seating and select your favourite series from the TV, as the electric fire gently warms the space. Continue upstairs to the first floor to find a well-appointed bathroom where you can freshen up with a soak or rinse after a day of exploring, along with two beautifully decorated bedrooms, a king-size with TV and a twin with views of the meadows. The second floor hosts the final bedroom, a spacious double with Velux windows, affording lovely views and natural light. Explore the village, where you can treat your loved ones to a well-deserved meal at the Royal Oak Inn, followed by a leisurely stroll along the River Dove. For a wider selection of amenities, head to Ashbourne, where you can dine at The Bridge, stock up on essentials at the convenience stores, picnic in Ashbourne Park, or time your visit right to attend the annual Shrovetide football match which takes place on Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday. For great days out take a trip to Alton Towers or Dovedale with lots for the family to enjoy. From here you can easily access the stunning surroundings of the Peak District National Park, with a plethora of scenic walking and cycling trails, caves to explore, and the historic sites of Throwley Old Hall and Pilsbury Castle. Venture further to Matlock, home to the Heights of Abraham, Hall Leys Park and the Peak Rail, along with neighbouring Matlock Bath where you will find Gulliver’s Kingdom and the Peak District Museum. Adventure awaits at Meadow View.
