Surrounded by stunning countryside, Old Hall - Middle Mayfield is situated in the village of Ashbourne - ideal for relaxation, celebrations, or country pursuits. Sleeping up to 10 guests, there is no shortage of space throughout this beautifully decorated property.

About this property

On arrival, you will be greeted by a large stone porch. From here you will walk into a welcoming parlour with a wood burner, a country style kitchen with a large family dining table, a range-style cooker with gas hob and electric oven. For more formal dining you will find a Jacobean panelled dining room with a large dining table and a second wood burner.

A small hidden reading nook awaits should you want a quiet spot to read. The period style continues into the drawing room with large cosy leather sofas and a Smart TV.

When your day is finished make your way up one of the two staircases to your choice of one of the five bedrooms. You can choose from either a single room, a super-king four-poster bed, a king-size, another two super-king-size zip-and-link beds (can be twins on request) – one of which has an additional single bed with a guest pull out trundle, which would be ideal for a family room or all the children in one room!

In addition, you will find one of two bathrooms, the other being on the ground floor. Outside is a lawned garden, a BBQ and outside dining furniture for all guests on those summer days. There is ample off street parking for several cars for all the friends and family to park on the premises during your visit. Please be aware as with a property of this age and character some of the steps in the building are narrow and uneven. There is a small narrow staircase inside the property which may not be suitable for those with mobility issues.

The area

Surrounded by breath taking countryside, the village of Ashbourne offers the perfect setting for relaxation, celebrations, or country pursuits. Enjoy leisurely rambles along ancient tracks, taking in stunning views of the surrounding landscapes and the village's charming Georgian architecture. You can also dine at one of the local pubs and explore nearby attractions such as Dovedale, with its famous stepping stones and views of Thorpe Cloud, or visit Carsington Water for outdoor activities. Alton Towers is also within easy reach, while the High Peak, Tissington, and Manifold Valley trails offer excellent opportunities for walking and cycling. For those looking to explore further, Chatsworth House and the historic market towns of Ashbourne, Matlock, Bakewell, and Buxton are just a short drive away, providing a wealth of cultural and scenic experiences.

Ashbourne is well-connected for visitors traveling by car, with the A52 and A515 providing easy access to the town and nearby Peak District attractions. There is ample parking available, including options near the Tissington Trail, popular for walking and cycling. Although there is no direct train station, nearby Derby offers connections to the national rail network, with buses running regularly from there to Ashbourne. Once in town, exploring its cobbled streets and surrounding countryside is a delight, whether on foot, bike, or even horseback.

“Absolutely stunning house and location. Based beside a farm, it is perfectly located for good walks, and the house is incredibly cozy and well presented. Good value for several nights, we would recommend for larger groups who need to get away.”

“One of our guests had an horrific accident as a result of, in our understanding, a lack of basic health and safety. The accident involved emergency surgery, 12 nights in hospital and months of rehabilitation ahead. We tried to contact the host to discuss this. They responded with a reply to advise that they would investigate and reply within 10 working days. They did not contact us, so I’m unclear as to how they have investigated this accident. We will report this to the Health & Safety Executive.”
