Jill and Jake

We have a new addition to our family Cocoa a beautiful chocolate donkey and soon to be friend for Jake and Jill, our guests at our Ashbourne Self Catering cottages will have to opportunity to meet and treat them- bring a supply of apples.      17.10.12

Our donkeys are settling in nicely – have escaped just once. They are loving the supply of carrots and apples guests keep feeding them, I think they will have to join me on a post Christmas diet.

The latest additions to our family are Jill and Jake, two delightful 1 year old donkeys. Jake is crossed with a miniature so quite small for a gelding. Both are so cute and were introduced to our guests last week who loved them. So come armed with apples and carrots which they love and have a petting session to be enjoyed by all.

Accommodation & Walking in Derbyshire and the Peak District

Today was an experience when I sampled the delights of the ‘Trit Trot Trail’ walk organised by Sally Mosely. A delightful short and easy walk of around 3 miles from Castleton along a scenic valley with information on the area provided by Sally, ending up at the Shire Horse Centre at Brough where we all boarded a beautifully presented and comfortable dray pulled by a magnificent pair of black shire horses.

We were then taken along the roads on an hour long very leisurely trip back to Castleton with delicious home made lemon drizzle cake and ginger beer on route. A delight. We are pleased to offer guests at our accommodation either the chance of the Trit Trot Experience or a group adventure around the Castleton area with the Shire Horse experience. Our visitors can contact me for details on 0780 8899493.

Our cottages are beautifully positioned amongst scenic and peaceful surroundings, just edging the Peak District National Park, perfect for walking the many beautiful Derbyshire Dales,or traversing the many walks from or close to the cottages. There are some fabulous walks and some of these are featured on our website to enable you to plan your days adventures in advance. Come and join one of the many charity walks around Carsington Water.

We are are with everyone else in lockdown, but come December 2nd we  should know more of the Governments intentions for December/Christmas and the New Year. It may be that they will remove the lockdown but go back to the rule of 6 depending on how well the public manage to control the spread, or it may be they give a new rule of bigger groups with rules attached during the festive season, or it could be a longer lockdown.

Either way we will be open for business as soon as we possibly can. Keep an eye on our special offers which will be available for smaller groups once we are allowed to reopen. They will be on our website special offers page and on our blog page on www.offcotegrange.com and our Facebook pages which we will update when we get further news.
