Turlow Bank, Ashbourne

We have renovated this early 19th Century farmhouse to provide our guests with superior Bed and Breakfast accommodation in this quiet location. Set in six acres on the hillside overlooking the charming village of Hognaston, we are surrounded by glorious views.

Watch the ponies grazing in the field, enjoy the hens pecking around and be grateful there's no cockerel to disturb your nights rest. Relax watching the ducks on our farm or the wild ducks and geese flying by on their way to nearby Carsington Water.

Let us spoil you with our excellent facilities - relax , read or watch TV in our spacious guest lounge which is tastefully furnished in traditional style. There is a video and selection of books about the locality for you to plan your visits. A log fire will give extra comfort on those cooler evenings.

The house is centrally heated throughout and the quality of the property is reflected in the AA quality rating of five stars. We do not accept dogs other than guide dogs. Smoking is not permitted in the house. We do not allow children under 12 years.

Enjoy a full English breakfast in the dining room. Local produce is used where possible. We are pleased to cater for vegetarians though please let us know on booking of any specific dietary needs. Packed lunches are available on request. A number of local pubs and restaurants serve excellent food at lunchtime and in the evenings.

Outside you will find a delightful patio with garden furniture and a landscaped garden where you can relax, listen to birdsong, enjoy the countryside beyond and watch the sun set. The bedrooms are luxurious and spacious with excellent bathroom facilities. All rooms are centrally heated.

The King Size bedroom is en suite. This bed can be converted to two singles if required. The double bedroom has a private bathroom with shower over the bath. Both bedrooms have tea / coffee making facilities, radio alarms and hair dryers.

At Turlow Bank you are only a step away from delightful walking country and a short walk takes you to Carsington Water where watersports, birdwatching and cycling facilities are available. Turlow Bank is within a few minutes walk of the charming and quiet village of Hognaston which is well off the beaten track and free of through traffic. There is a pub, a church, some delightful cottages and little else - ideal for a quiet stroll.
