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.

🐾 Sometimes it’s the little things that mean the most…❤️

I loved hearing that two tiny Chihuahua boys felt just as at home at The Casey as their humans did 🐶🐶
..“The Casey has everything you would ever need and in the perfect location for all the local sights and attractions. Its wonderful to have a properly secure garden too which our tiny Chihuahua boys appreciated!”...

Knowing that my guests can truly relax and feel at home **little paws and all** means the world 🏡🐾❤️

Wishing you all a very happy Sunday and a lovely week ahead

Love, Amanda 😊🐾🏡

🐾 Caesar & Neyla’s Holiday Adventures! 🐾

Just look at these two enjoying their stay! 💙 From exploring by the water to zoomies and playtime back at the cottage, Caesar & Neyla certainly made the most of their holiday.

I know that when you holiday with your dogs, finding somewhere they can relax and enjoy themselves too makes all the difference — especially if you happen to have a four-legged escape artist! 😂🐶

That’s why The Casey garden is fully enclosed, with 5ft galvanised, plastic-coated steel mesh in front of the holly and hawthorn hedgerows. It’s anchored to the ground and secured to embedded 7ft posts, so you can open the cottage door and let the dogs out into the garden without worrying about hidden gaps. 🌿🐾

And I haven’t forgotten the little things either…

🐕 Muddy Paws station with dog towel, poo bags & hooks for leads
🥣 Feeding station & bowls in the kitchen
🎾 Toys dotted around the cottage and garden
🚿 Mud Daddy dog wash for those muddy adventures
🎁 A little personalised gift for your four-legged holidaymaker

Because it’s their holiday too! ❤️

🐾 Dogs Welcome £10 per stay
🐾 2–3 dogs welcome, depending on their size, so there’s plenty of comfortable space inside the cottage for everyone.

Could your dog be the next one enjoying zoomies around The Casey garden? 🐕

📩 Pop onto the website to find out about availability and start planning your dog-friendly getaway.

And a big thank you to Caesar & Neyla for demonstrating the garden so enthusiastically! And Claire their owner who provided the photos 😂🐾💙

**NB: the fence at the top of the garden has since been replaced with 6ft fence panels

👀🪵🔥 **A rare sighting in the garage today…** 🤫

It’s not very often I actually get to meet my guests, but today my lovely guests who were on a return stay caught me in my natural habitat… hiding behind half a forest! 😂🪵

They’d very kindly agreed to leave the driveway clear for my Autumn and Winter log delivery, and when the truck arrived, there was certainly no sneaking this one in unnoticed!

Even nicer, they spotted me amongst the mountain of logs and came over for a chat. It was so lovely to meet them — although perhaps not quite how I’d imagined making my grand entrance… surrounded by logs and looking like I’d taken up lumberjacking! 😂

The cottage is super cosy, with temperature-regulated smart radiators throughout, but there’s just something special about lighting a real fire on a chilly evening. 🔥🍂

Pour a glass of something nice 🍷 get a board game out, curl up with a book or pop Netflix on… feet up, fire glowing and nowhere you need to be. ❤️

So after a fair bit of lifting, sorting and bagging, The Casey is stocked and officially ready for cosy season!

Now, if anyone needs me, I’ll be recovering from my brief appearance as a lumberjack! 😂

Love to you all
Amanda 😊🪵🐾🏡

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? 💛
