Jill and Jake

We have a new addition to our family, Cocoa is 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.
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.

Here at Offcote Grange Cottage Holidays we can offer you the chance to dabble in painting and drawing. Located in a peaceful rural location in central Derbyshire, our self catering cottages have oustanding views and are surrounded by nature and items of interest. We can supply you with the use of paper, paints and pencils for just a small fee per person. If you are here with friends or family and wish to try your hand at painting as an individual or as a group, with no pressure other than creative encouragment, then please ask for details.
For a taste of a painting holiday in Derbyshire, we have in our garden, overlooking the lake, a ‘globe’ for you to peacefully sit in and have a go at painting. Paints are there all year long, just ask and we will ensure you have all you need to create. There are fabulous views, with our expanding family of moorhens on the pond, the guest ducks and heron, with our donkeys peacefully grazing- peace and tranquility in beautiful surroundings.

Accommodation & Walking in Derbyshire and the Peak District
Posted on August 2, 2011 by Offcote Grange
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.

The Tissington and Osmaston Estates are located just outside the pretty market town of Ashbourne at the edge of the magnificent Peak District National Park. Both of these wonderful settings are now available for wedding venues, but have no accommodation. Our 5 star luxury cottages each sleeping up to 16 are located just a few miles from both estates and are the ideal base to prepare for your wedding or to locate your guests. Fantastic venues with all the facilities you can wish for, call us to see what we can offer to make the perfect package for your wedding.
