The details
Stay within a little piece of Ashbourne history at 46 Church Street, a beautifully restored 17th-century almshouse offering a characterful boutique escape for two. Part of the historic Pegge’s Almshouses and dating back to 1669, this grade two star listed retreat brings together original architecture, contemporary design and thoughtful hospitality, creating a memorable place to stay just moments from the heart of town and within easy reach of the Peak District.
The heritage of the building is apparent from the moment you arrive. Warm local sandstone, heavy timber beams and wonderfully quirky architectural details tell the story of its past, while carefully chosen furnishings and modern technology ensure your stay is wonderfully comfortable. It’s a considered blend of old and new, with the individuality of a historic home and the thoughtful touches of a boutique stay.
On the ground floor, two original front doors add another charming reminder of the building’s past. Inside, the open-plan layout features a contemporary kitchen and dining area with space for leisurely breakfasts and intimate evening meals. There’s also a bathroom with a walk-in shower, while the spacious lounge invites you to sink into the three-seater sofa and warm up beside the wood-burning stove. When you fancy a night in, there’s a Sony Bravia 43-inch 4K HDR TV, sound system, Sky Q, Sky Cinema and Netflix. Fibre WiFi is also available throughout the cottage and garden.
Head upstairs and you’ll find a spacious study with a desk, chair and sofa, providing a peaceful spot to work, read or simply enjoy some quiet time. From here, a wonderfully quirky triangular wooden door leads into the bedroom. At its heart is a comfortable king size bed dressed in Egyptian cotton sheets, with couples’ robes adding a thoughtful boutique touch. There’s also a wall-mounted HD TV for lazy mornings in bed.
Outside, the tranquil garden offers your own spot to slow down. Pour a glass of wine, settle in together and enjoy the evening as the sun goes down before wandering into Ashbourne for dinner.
Ashbourne itself is filled with independent shops, historic architecture, traditional pubs and cafés, while its market continues a tradition stretching back to the 13th century. The Tissington Trail begins just 50 metres away, leading walkers and cyclists towards the spectacular landscapes of the Peak District. Alton Towers is around 20 minutes away by car, making 46 Church Street a wonderfully distinctive base for discovering this beautiful corner of Derbyshire.

This was our third stay at 46 Church St, yet again everything was perfect. Peaceful, picturesque and beautiful surroundings that made it so easy to relax and unwind. The cottage itself is spotlessly clean, thoughtfully decorated and every detail has been carefully considered. Clive and Mari were so welcoming and helpful without being intrusive. We will be returning again and would recommend this idyllic cottage to anyone looking for a memorable getaway.
