Was a great location and lovely property but not clean - dirty kitchen, mold and cobwebs. The owner was not willing to listen to our feedback when mentioning it to them.

We loved this comfy, warm home. It was perfect for exploring Ashbourne and the area. Ashbourne is literally on the doorstep and there are lots of excellent cafes, restaurants and shops. We even fitted in a trip to the cinema. The house is very conveniently placed and very welcoming. We loved it.

We had a lovely stay at the Snug. Everything we needed was thoughtfully supplied, and the little welcome pack was a really nice surprise. The beds were very comfortable, everything was spotlessly clean, and the property felt welcoming and well cared for. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouldnt hesitate to recommend it. Thank you!

A great property for a short break. All very clean and comfortable and the owners had decorated for Easter and put fresh flowers out so clear they looked after the property and their guests. Property is close to traffic intersection which could be noisy at peak times. Great location for access to the National Park

Lovely place in a great location. We spent a cosy Christmas here with family and really enjoyed our stay. The hosts went over and above to make it easy for our autistic children by sending photos and keeping in close contact: Ashbourne itself is a beautiful little town with loads of good shops and cafs. We would definitely return.

A lovely well appointed place to stay. Excellent proximity to food shop (Sainsbury's), takeaways & interesting places to visit & walks in countryside. Some road noise in front bedrooms, more noticeable if warm and windows are open.
