Three cottages, two pools

Swallow's Cottage near Ashbourne, and The Round House and Woodside Cottage together at Rowsley. Each one is let as a whole cottage to one party at a time. You never share it, and there is no booking by the room.

Swallow's Cottage

A 200 year old stone cottage with its own private heated outdoor pool, open June, July and August. Five acres of gardens and orchards, dog friendly, and walking country from the back door towards Tissington, Dovedale and beyond.

Out of pool season it is every bit as much of a treat: a log burning stove to curl up in front of after a long walk, and plenty of books and games for the evenings.

The Round House

A three-bedroom, architect-designed home with a private terrace, set within nine shared acres of gardens on the edge of Rowsley. Quirky, light, and three miles from Chatsworth House.

The heated indoor pool is open all year and shared with just one other cottage, Woodside, next door. Every stay includes two daily Private Pool Hours slots, morning and afternoon, when the pool is entirely yours.

Woodside Cottage

The quieter, cosier of the two Rowsley cottages: a proper two-bedroom stone cottage with a sitting room, modern kitchen and pantry, wrapped in glorious gardens full of wildlife.

It shares the same heated indoor pool with The Round House next door, and the same Private Pool Hours, so the pool is yours alone for your slot each day. Open all year.

Travelling as a bigger group? The Round House and Woodside can be taken together, giving you both cottages and the run of the shared gardens and pool.
