1 / 24Forget Me Not Cottage - Ashbourne
Marston Montgomery, Derbyshire
A three bedroom cottage for five at Marston Montgomery near Ashbourne, with an enclosed garden, a real single bedroom and two dogs welcome.
The fifth person here gets a bedroom rather than a sofa. Three rooms sleep five, and the third of them is a single with a door on it, which is a small thing until you have travelled as five and found the lounge converted every night. Forget Me Not Cottage stands in the village of Marston Montgomery in south Derbyshire, dog friendly and five star, its garden enclosed, two dogs allowed. A sofa bed is territory annexed from the animal that was going to sleep on it, and this cottage does not need one.
Kitchen, dining and lounge run as one room across the ground floor, with patio doors at the far end and country through them. A cloakroom takes the coats and there is a games room with darts in it. Outside, the enclosed garden carries a patio and seating, and two dogs will spend most of any unwalked day on that.
A family of five who want the lanes rather than the honeypots is what this is for. Marston Montgomery has quiet footpaths going out of it in several directions and almost no traffic to cross to reach them, which for a dog that is either very young or fairly old is worth more than a famous view. The country here rolls rather than climbs.
Ashbourne, 8 miles north, is the market town at the bottom end of the hills, with narrow passages running off a sloping square and a church spire that shows from a long way out. Sudbury Hall stands 5 miles the other way, red brick and seventeenth century in its own parkland. Two dogs get a town to walk through and parkland to walk in.
