What weather, but at least the sun has now shown its face, have been watching the Canada geese forming ready for the off, I counted well over 500 in just one session, marvellous to watch and what a lot of noise which of course set off the donkeys. We have recently grassed a flat area of ground with steps leading down to the small nature lake we have, beautiful views over the valley and available for marquees combined with hire of the self catering cottages. If you are interested call to discuss.

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.
