The Casey Holiday Cottage - Fenny Bentley Ashbourne

The Casey Holiday Cottage - Fenny Bentley Ashbourne A delightful cosy two-bedroom Peak District Cottage with private enclosed garden and parking 🐾🐶 Welcome to The Casey.

A perfect getaway for a couple or small family and ideal base for a holiday or short break. We welcome a maximum of two dogs, purely down to the size of space within the cottage. Situated in the stunning Peak District National Park, The Casey has a beautiful enclosed garden, off road parking and traffic free walks from the doorstep. This enchanting, cosy cottage is a well equipped base on the Peak

District Boundary Walk and minutes from the Tissington Trail, Thor's Cave, Pooles Cavern, Thorpe Cloud and Dovedale Stepping Stones. Fenny Bentley Village is perfectly placed to explore local trails on foot or bike with footpaths accessible from the doorstep. You can even paddle a kayak on Carsington Water. If culture, heritage, shopping or cuisine is more your thing then the equally lovely towns of Ashbourne and Bakewell are readily accessible as it Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, Ilam, Matlock and the Spa town of Buxton. Whenever you choose to stay, you will be spoilt for choice. Whether you are a walker, cyclist, outdoor enthusiast or a climber there is much to do in this fabulous scenic location and stunning countryside. There’s plenty of space for a run around and a lovely seating area where you can enjoy a glass or two of something and look to the distant hills as the sun goes down with a soundtrack of singing birds and church bells. If you prefer not to cook there’s two very good pubs a short stroll away or there’s a huge choice of eateries and inns in Ashbourne just a couple of miles down the road, or why not adventure and find a traditional little Inn in one of the nearby villages

The Casey has off road parking and a large secure Garage with Bike Racks and space to store your kayak, canoe or outdoor gear. Once you step in through the front door, hang up your coat and kick off your boots you will feel at home in the cosy sitting room with tiled flooring, contemporary furniture and a welcoming wood-burning stove. The open stairway divides the sitting room from the modern, well-equipped kitchen which has a useful breakfast bar. The two bedrooms are tastefully presented with exposed roof beams and consist of a double and a single. The designer bathroom has a P-shaped bath with a shower over to refresh or to soak those weary limbs at the end of the day. Rather quirkily, there’s a door on the first floor landing which leads out to the lovely South facing garden and stepping stones leading to the garage and parking area.

My kind of Bank Holiday!! 😂🔨🎨

While normal people were presumably relaxing, going out for lunch and generally enjoying the long weekend… I apparently decided it was the perfect opportunity to tackle half the house! 🤦‍♀️😂

First up — the high-traffic, easily-scuffed areas that seem to need repainting approximately every 8 weeks 🙄 So this time I’ve braved a much more durable Kilkenny Green 💚, freshened up all the skirting boards, given the soft cream walls a new lease of life too and refreshed that beautiful pink in the bathroom.

Then came the kitchen extractor hood. The on/off switch had broken off and, after being quoted nearly £100 just to replace the front section, I thought… absolutely not! 😳 So out came the whole thing and in went a shiny new extractor instead. Much smarter AND it has washable filters rather than those replaceable cloth ones. Result! 🙌

Next on the list… a lovely new Roman blind for the lounge 🪟✨

And because apparently I hadn’t done enough by this point, attention turned outside. The gate had started dropping after enduring a few too many enthusiastic SLAMS 💥😂 So it’s now been treated to two seriously heavy-duty new posts concreted in, a new latch AND a self-closing spring. (Thank you to my partner Mike and son David for labouring this in the pouring rain) 😘

Will the spring stop the gate being slammed quite so hard?

We live in hope… 🤞🤣

So, after several days of painting, drilling, fixing, replacing, concreting and repeatedly asking myself “Why did I start this?”… I am officially SHATTERED..... Again....

But I have to admit, I do love that feeling when I stand back afterwards and everything looks fresh, smart and properly sorted. 😍🏡

Photos and videos of my idea of a “relaxing” Bank Holiday attached… 😂

Anyway… when’s the next Bank Holiday?! I need one to recover from this one! 🤣🍷

🚨 BIG NEWS… and it's good news for YOU! 🏡✨

Moving house is usually stressful... but this move comes with a huge bonus for my guests! ❤️

Until now, every changeover at The Casey Holiday Cottage meant a 90-minute round trip for me. Now? I'm just 10 minutes away! 🎉

That means less time driving, less fuel, and less exhaustion for me... which also means I can finally do something I've wanted to offer for ages...

🍂 From October right through to March, I'll now be offering 2-night mini breaks for a full SIX months! 🍁❄️

Whether you're craving a cosy autumn escape, a festive getaway, or a peaceful winter recharge, The Casey Holiday Cottage is the perfect place to switch off and unwind.

It's one of those rare occasions where a life change is a win-win – better for me, and even better for you. 🥰

Who's already thinking about a cosy mini break? 💛

Snow in July at The Casey? 😮🫣...not likely, we are currently basking in 28 degrees! So I thought a few nice cool pictures would go down a treat.

I have had quite a few messages in the last week or so asking for particular dates which unfortunately have already gone so I thought I had better let you all know the availability - thank you to everyone who has made contact.
Much love

How about this.....We drove out to Bottoms Reservoir in Longdendale, a beautiful man-made lake constructed between 1865 and 1877, and followed part of the Peak District Boundary Walk across the Dam. Such a peaceful spot with stunning views all around.

Did you know The Casey makes a perfect little base on the South stretch of the Boundary Walk to go exploring. Fresh air, great scenery, and good company 👍🏻🥾🦯🕶️ 🌿
