Super place
We really enjoyed our stay at Ashley Bank. The house is bigger than it looks from the pictures, and super-well-equipped. We particularly appreciated abundant hot water and great showers….and the laundry/drying room was fantastic. Debbie and Max were very welcoming and helpful. All in all, a great place 👍

Birthday celebration
The property was a described. Accomodated our group of family and friends perfectly. The spacious cottages were very clean and tidy and were extremely well equipped with everything to make our visit home from home. The additional hire of the hot tub delighted the birthday girl. Response and contact from Debbie and Max was very quick and all questions/queries were answered. Highly recommend these cottages for large groups of people.

Fantastic stay, whole family enjoyed our weekend
Fantastic cottage with amazing grounds, lovely, clean and cosy. Hot tub was a fantastic bonus, the children enjoyed the swings and slide and all the outdoor toys. Everyone enjoyed their stay and looking forward to more visits hopefully in the future, a great place for groups up to 16 people.

About the host

Hosted by Debbie & Max

Host profile image
Hi, we are Max & Debbie, we have owned Ashley Bank for 6 years, and absolutely love it here. We have spent most of this time renovating and decorating the cottages and landscaping the grounds, luckily I love decorating and Max loves gardening! We have 2 dogs that live on site with us, both love people and children, although Flynn(Hungarian Viszla) is a little selective when it comes to other dogs! Monty, golden Labrador loves everyone and everything, but they have their own space so you may not even know they’re around. We also have Doris, our 3 year old tortoise, but you probably won’t even know she exists. We do lots of walking locally and are always happy to share all of our favourite spots. We do hope all our visitors enjoy this beautiful part of the world as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Ideal for walkers, cyclists and dog owners alike, with spacious fields and lush green land on your very doorstep. Beautiful views and quiet, peaceful surroundings.

What makes this property unique

We live on site, but your cottage is completely secluded and independent to ours. You are provided with a lush 3/4 acre private garden with stunning views.
