Are you like me and love to shop local? Every Friday I'll be highlighting a local business close to The Old Post Office. When you are in Ashbourne, make sure to stop by Loaf, a traditional artisan bakery located right on the Market Place. Baking from their century-old bakery, they produce a wonderful selection of handcrafted breads alongside delicious sweet and savoury takeaway treats. Everything I’ve tried from Loaf has been absolutely delicious, and it’s easy to see why it’s such a popular local favourite. Just one tip—arrive before 2pm, as they close early and the best items don’t stay on the shelves for long! Loaf

Are you like me and love to shop local? Every Friday I'll be highlighting a local business close to The Old Post Office. It would be easy to drive straight past Preston’s Home & Lifestyle in Ashbourne. From its location on a petrol station forecourt, you’d never guess the treasure trove waiting inside. Step through the door and you’ll find an impressive collection of furniture, home décor, gifts, and accessories, with plenty of inspiration for every room. It’s one of those places that’s much bigger than it looks and well worth taking the time to explore. Prestons Home

A Cottage Through Time - Week One
Over the next few Sundays, I’d like to take you on a journey through the story of The Old Post Office. We’ll look back at its life before it became a holiday cottage, explore what first drew me to this special property and the beautiful surrounding area, share some family memories made along the way, and follow its transformation through renovation, restoration and ongoing care. From village post office and shop to the welcoming holiday home it is today, every corner has a story to tell. Join me each Sunday as we uncover a little more of its past and present.

The Old Post Office was once exactly that – the heart of village life here in Clifton. Before becoming our home and later a holiday cottage, it served as the village post office and shop, where locals would call in for everyday essentials, buy a stamp or two, and catch up on the latest news. More than just a place to shop, it was a meeting point where neighbours stopped for a friendly chat and the community came together as part of daily life.

What would you be drinking this morning in our cottage garden? The enclosed cottage garden is a lovely spot to relax after a day exploring the Peak District. Surrounded by mature planting and plenty of greenery, it offers a private space to enjoy your morning coffee, your evening drink, or simply sit back and unwind in the fresh Derbyshire air.

I’m Lindsey, the owner of The Old Post Office. When guests stay with me and have a wonderful time, I’m often the one they thank. While I might choose the décor and be responsible for the little extras, the person who really deserves the credit is Chloe. She works incredibly hard behind the scenes making sure the cottage is beautifully clean, well prepared and ready for every arrival. Her attention to detail and pride in her work help make each stay special, and I will always be so grateful to have her. ❤️ ROYAL CLEAN

Have you visited The Heights of Abraham? Yesterday I really did feel like I was on top of the World!

One of the highlights of a visit to the Heights of Abraham is the Victoria Prospect Tower. Built in 1844 by former lead miners to celebrate Queen Victoria’s reign, it stands as a reminder of the area’s rich history. The story goes that a young Princess Victoria visited the Heights in 1832 and even made her way up Masson Hill on a donkey. Climb the tower’s winding spiral staircase and you’ll be rewarded with spectacular 360-degree views across Matlock Bath and the surrounding Derbyshire countryside.

Do you like to shop local? Every Friday I’ll be highlighting a local business close to The Old Post Office.

Yesterday I popped into Becalmed, a lovely new boutique in Ashbourne, just 2 miles from the cottage. They stock natural skincare and beauty products, jewellery, clothing, accessories and home décor, along with plenty of unique gift ideas.

They also offer natural skincare and make-up consultations (pre-booking required),

🐾 Dogs are welcome too.

If you’re staying with us and fancy a browse around the shops in Ashbourne, it’s well worth a visit.
