Our style? Understated luxury.
We may have luxury cottages but ours is an unflashy luxury: nothing twee, no unnecessary frills or fussiness but everything good quality, spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable and in excellent condition.
We do not make economy purchases but use well respected suppliers (including it must be said Ikea when appropriate!).
Mainly we use such as Farrow & Ball for all interior paint, and Valti for outside, John Lewis and The White Company for linen and towels, Vi-Spring mattresses (and bed in Tom's Barn), Gilchrist & Soames for 'toiletries'; we buy top of the range electrical equipment.
What extras can you expect to find?
We try to provide everything - within reason - you might need (see Tom's Barn & Douglas's Barn for more detail).
You will find fresh flowers and awaiting your arrival a welcoming tea tray with a freshly (home-) made cake or biscuits.
We provide some staple fresh ingredients (some owners call this a 'Welcome Hamper' such as a loaf of bread, a pint of milk, some butter and half a dozen freshly laid local farm eggs.
There is also flour, sugar rice etc, tea and coffee and some dried herbs and spices.
Each barn has its own mini herb garden in a pot by the front door and in the summer months we leave you a jug of fresh herbs from our garden.
You will find all household staples such as loo paper and tabs for the dishwasher.
There are books to read, some DVD's and CD's, maps, walk books and some well-worn games.
You will always find the current edition of the local 'stunner' otherwise known as the Ashbourne Daily Telegraph, Derbyshire Life and the Radio Times.
There is (free) Wi-fi internet access (ask for the password) and also, for those that don't want to bring their own, a Sony netbook for your own use, already programmed with a number of links to useful local websites.
Relaxation:
We want coming here to feel a treat rather than a hardship... We want you to go home feeling totally indulged, relaxed and refreshed, ready to meet the real world again.
Rest and relaxation? That is easy, you can't help it!
Gourmet eating? If you want to cook - all the equipment is there including a slow-cooker; if you'd rather go out, you can follow the links on the Netbook to book a delicious meal somewhere, or to arrange a caterer...
Pampering/self-indulgence? Just fill the whirlpool bath (but go easy on the soap bubbles...) light a candle and find - and fill - the plastic champagne glasses.
