- The Orchards
-
- The Orchards award-winning cottage
nestles peacefully on the valley side overlooking the River Manifold,
just a mile outside the village of Ilam, near Ashbourne.
It has the most wonderful views over the lovely Derbyshire countryside,
towards Dovedale and beyond.
The cottage is fabulous for a family holiday yet warmly welcoming
as a romantic hideaway with cosy log fire and special offers
for couples.
Alton Towers is just 7 miles.
The cottage is run in an eco-friendly way and we have twice been
awarded the prestigious Peak District Environmental Quality Mark
for our green achievements.

- We hold a small stock of local
foods for guests to sample, e.g. delicious dry-cured bacon and
honey from the valley; also try our free-range lamb, or a joint
of succulent beef or pork, all home reared. We can even roast
it for you in the Aga.
-
- Staying at The Orchards gives
you that 'feel-good factor' in more ways than one.
-
- There are nine steps up to the
front door, but once inside the cottage, all rooms are on one
level.
-
- As The Orchards is based on a
farm, there are acres for children to explore, calves and baby
piglets to stroke and lambs to feed in Spring.
-
- If children wish to visit the
farm, they MUST be accompanied by an adult at all times.
