When Christopher Pegge left provision in his will, dated 12th June 1669, for six Almshouses to be built on his property in Ashbourne for six poor inhabitants of the town, he could never have imagined the lasting legacy his generosity would create.
Christopher Pegge of the Inner Temple endowed an estate yielding £44 each year. The Governor of the Free School was entrusted with using this fund to support the six residents, supplement the wages of the schoolmaster and his assistant, and meet other needs.
More than 350 years later, these remarkable Grade II* listed buildings continue to tell their story, welcoming guests from around the world to experience their history, character and sense of place.
The original Almshouses have been lovingly transformed into three unique cottages, combining historic character with thoughtful design and the comforts of modern living.
An 1893 photograph records the cottages’ water barrels, a young holly tree, the cobbled street and a paddock beyond. The buildings and Pegge family crest remain part of the historic fabric of Church Street.
























Ashbourne is known as ‘The Gateway to Dovedale’. While there’s no doubt that it’s the perfect base if you want to explore the spectacular limestone landscapes of the southern White Peak, it also pays to take a leisurely walking tour around town to immerse yourself in its fascinating history and architecture.
With more than 200 listed buildings — including historic almshouses, fine coaching inns and genteel town houses — Ashbourne is a visual feast for the discerning visitor. Don’t miss the splendid facade of the Grade I listed Old Grammar School; the ‘longest inn sign in the world’ outside The Greenman pub and restaurant; or the beautiful St Oswald’s Parish Church with its striking 212 feet high spire, described by classic author George Eliot as the ‘finest single spire in England’.
Another highlight is the 17th century mansion, once home to the ‘King of Ashbourne’, Dr. John Taylor, where Lichfield‑born Dr. Samuel Johnson, author of A Dictionary of the English Language, was a frequent visitor in the 1700s.
Ashbourne also has some fascinating foodie links. The original recipe for Ashbourne Gingerbread was acquired from French prisoners of war — in particular the personal chef of a captured French general — who were kept in the town during the Napoleonic wars (1799–1815).
The timber‑framed Gingerbread Shop — now a Birds Bakery — can still be seen in St John Street and the Original Ashbourne Gingerbread can be purchased locally.
Shopping is a pure pleasure thanks to its plethora of small, family‑run businesses and weekly open‑air market. Browse for fine antiques, quality food and drink, designer fashion and much more, then relax over morning coffee, lunch or afternoon tea in a selection of cafés, inns and tea rooms.
Ashbourne is also famous for its ancient tradition of Royal Shrovetide Football — ‘turned up’, or started, by such famous figures as Prince Charles, Sir Stanley Matthews and The Duke of Devonshire. Played each Shrovetide Tuesday and Ash Wednesday, it’s a unique and unruly event that bears little resemblance to the modern game!
Walkers, cyclists and horse riders will appreciate the fact that the town also sits at the start of the traffic‑free Tissington Trail — a green gateway to Dovedale and the Pennine Bridleway, linking up farther north with the popular High Peak Trail.
Make the most of your stay with local arts, live music, festivals and seasonal celebrations. Browse the events calendar and Ashbourne Festival programme for dates, venues and booking details.
A few places to enjoy during your stay. Walking times are approximate; follow each business name for current details and opening hours.
Book ahead and confirm your return journey directly with the operator.










































Ashbourne sits at the southern edge of the Peak District, where southern Derbyshire’s red sandstone meets the limestone country of Dovedale and the White Peak, a short distance from the River Dove. The cottages are two minutes’ walk from Ashbourne town centre, with its cafés, restaurants, pubs and independent shops. Free off-street parking is available approximately 150 yards from the cottages. The surrounding area offers mountain biking, fishing, golf, rock climbing and sailing, as well as historic sites, stately homes, markets, museums, galleries and theme parks. Crich Tramway Museum is another option for a day out.
Church Street’s neighbours include St Oswald’s Church, the former Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School, founded in 1585, and Owfield’s Almshouses, built between 1614 and 1630. Ashbourne was a royal borough by the Domesday survey; Charles I visited the town, and Bonnie Prince Charlie stayed here during his march south to Derby in 1745.
Join the Tissington Trail near the leisure centre, around 50 metres away. Its 13-mile route reaches Parsley Hay and connects to the High Peak Trail. Walking and cycling routes pass near Dovedale, Tissington and Hartington, with parking and cycle hire at Mapleton Lane. Horse riders and wildlife enthusiasts also enjoy the trail. Flatter sections suit wheelchairs and pushchairs, but the incline near Mapleton needs to be considered when choosing a route. The High Peak Trail continues between High Peak Junction and the Dowlow area near Buxton.
Ashbourne’s annual Royal Shrovetide Football brings the Uppards and Downards together in a traditional game involving hundreds of people that spreads through the streets, fields and river. Goals lie three miles apart, and the hand-stitched leather ball is filled with cork so it floats. Play runs from 2pm until 10pm, unless a goal after 6pm ends the day’s game.
Discover countryside walks, scenic cycle routes, historic houses and memorable days out across Derbyshire and the Peak District. Use the travel notes to plan your journey, and follow the links for route guides, opening times and booking information.
Check‑in from 3.30pm; check‑out by 11am. Contact Clive and Mari Booth to discuss other arrangements.

“No.46 was the perfect getaway for us and an amazing place to see in the New Year. The Almshouse is better than we imagined and Clive and Mari Booth were amazing from the pre‑booking suggestions for exploring and greeting us on arrival, plus the recommendation of The Greenman pub and restaurant. Attention to detail here is second to none and all the little touches made our stay even more enjoyable, we hardly ever wanted to leave. Clive and Mari Booth really go the extra mile to make you feel safe and at home here, thankyou! We hope to be lucky enough to return to this beautiful property soon!”

All the very best Clive and Mari Booth – and thanks once again.”
John and Gail / Birmingham
“I was looking for a perfect weekend retreat and I found it at 46 Church Street. Clive and Mari Booth have been kindness itself, so warm and welcoming. It has been a delight to stay in their unique Alms House with its history and beautiful stylish interiors.

Paul and Pete / London

Ian and Sarah / South Wales
“46 Church Street is an exceptionally beautiful property. The attention to detail makes you feel right at home and everything feels very luxurious and welcoming. The goodies provided like coffee and toiletries are a fabulous touch!

We will definitely be coming back and we will recommend to our friends and family.”
Laura and Russell / Wellingborough

Sally and Pete / Devon
“We thought No. 46 looked great on the website – an ideal place for our honeymoon. No. 46 is even better than we could have imagined.

Our stay here has been a fabulous few days of fun and relaxation. We look forward to returning and will recommend to family and friends. Thank you very much for a great stay!”
Tim and Claire / Hertfordshire
“Thank you Mari and Clive for the perfect stay, from the wonderful recommendations you made to the tiniest details that made us feel so well looked after. (We still can’t get over the lavender in the loo roll!). Highlights of our time spent here were cycling up the Tissington Trail to the Royal Oak at Hurdlow for a very leisurely lunch. Electric bikes highly recommended especially during a rainstorm! We also really enjoyed a picnic and a paddle at Three Shires Head followed by a quick drink at the Cat and Fiddle distillery. We got a tandem cycle to Tissington Village before heading home though we wish we were returning to the comfort and luxury of No. 46 instead. We will be telling everyone about this gorgeous cottage and it’s kind and generous hosts!”
Bethan and Luke / North Wales
“A very big thanks to Clive and Mari Booth for such a warm welcome and providing the various recommendations! Whilst we appeared to stay during the heatwave that did not stop us!

Ben and Louise / Leeds
“46 Church Street – wow! Everything we needed was here. Had a super break.

Clive a great (and rightly proud) host. Thanks for everything.”
Ceri and Dave / Hertfordshire
“What a find! We absolutely loved it here; Clive and Mari Booth thank you for being so welcoming (+ Rascal too – lovely to watch the England win with him!). No. 46 is a wonderful combination of ‘ancient and modern’, really thoughtful touches to make a stay here so very comfortable. We had just one problem… we should have booked a longer stay! We’ll definitely be back and for longer next time! Thanks again.”
Suzanne and James / Marcham
“Thank you Clive and Mari! We have loved our stay at No. 46. The cottage was delightful in every aspect, both in design and comfort. It is a unique blend of style and history. We had a relaxing mother and daughter break – visiting Chatsworth, walking in Dovedale and a lazy lunch at The Duncombe Arms, Ellastone. Thank you for the bubbly and Bee Kind goodies. Much more to explore in the Peak District and we will be back. Thanks again.”
Val and Rosie Parkinson / Cumbria
“What a fantastic stay, wonderful cottage and hosts – a real treat – I will be back. Your attention to detail and thoughtfulness is second to none!”
Nicky / Bishop’s Stortford
“Absolutely one of a kind. 46 Church Street looks fantastic from the pictures but even Clive’s incredible work doesn’t do justice to the atmosphere and home they have created. The quality and attention to detail are second to none in a cottage that makes you feel instantly relaxed and at home. Clive and Mari Booth are wonderful hosts (thank you for the garden chats) with plenty of local tips to enjoy. We leave happy, ready to face the world once more and with our bellies dreaming of Ashbourne Bakehouse bread and Greenman’s lemon tart! Can’t wait to come back. Thank you.”
Alice and Adam / Sussex
“The contrast between the 17th Century exterior and the 21st interior was striking: so comfortable and well equipped, and so convenient for all the facilities of Ashbourne. A great place for a weekend break. Will recommend to our friends.”
Chris and Jackie / Sheffield
“What a gem 46 Church Street is! 17th Century meets 21st Century. We have had a brilliant stay. Clive and Mari Booth are wonderful hosts and have made us feel right at home. We recommend a meal at The Greenman, a trip to Chatsworth House and a day out to Buxton. There is so much to do so we will definitely be back and recommending our friends. Thanks for a great stay.”
Jared and Kate / The Wirral
“What a wonderful break! Fantastic location and every possible need catered for. Clive and Mari Booth were fabulous hosts, a lovely warm welcome. We enjoyed and would recommend paddle boarding at Carsington Water and the bike ride to Parsley Hay. We also enjoyed a wonderful meal at The Greenman in town. We are looking forward to returning as much more to enjoy!”
Sally / Manchester
“What a brilliant little gem this cottage is. Stylish with every comfort. We’ve had a lovely 3 days and will be extolling its virtues to all our friends. Many thanks Clive and Mari Booth for your helpful advice.”
Sylvia and Stephen / North Yorkshire
“What a fabulous little bolt hole! Welcome from Clive and Mari Booth was exceptional. Highly recommend The Greenman for a meal and a bike ride along the Tissington Trail. We will be back!”
Mike and Sarah / Cheshire

Steve and Ros / London
“Quality, quality, quality. What a wonderful accommodation and facilities. We felt at home straight away. From the kitchen to the bedroom the interior is superb. Mari and Clive are on hand to help but not intrusive. Not only is No. 46 a fantastic accommodation the location is also great with lots to do on your doorstep. We have had a wonderful time and will certainly recommend No. 46 to our friends. Thanks again!”
Kate and Den / Devizes
“Expectations exceeded! On arrival excellent presentation throughout. Facilities fantastic… in particular coffee machine, dishwasher and TV were very useful. Other touches that were nice to see were eco‑friendly products (hand soap, dishwasher tablets etc). We truly have had a wonderful stay and we will be writing a review online to reflect the memorable time we had at 46 Church Street. One final thanks for the lovely card and bubbles on my birthday, it was a lovely surprise!”
Julia and Ed / Kent
“We had a fantastic stay at 46 Church Street in January 2020. If you want to stay in a unique, quirky and cosy Almshouse this is the place for you! Clive and Mari Booth had thought of comfort in a contemporary way which stylishly complimented the charming and historic setting. It is in a good location in the centre of Ashbourne and within easy driving distance of fabulous walks in the Peak District.”

Clive and Mari Booth operate Pegges Almshouses and are responsible for the personal information we use to manage enquiries, bookings and guest stays. Contact us at stay@peggesalmshouses.com about your information or this notice.
This notice explains how Pegges Almshouses uses personal information when you visit our website, contact us or book a stay. It describes the information we need, the services involved and the choices and rights available to you.
We collect the information needed to respond to enquiries and arrange your stay, including your name, contact details, booking dates, guest details, correspondence and relevant transaction records. This information comes from you, someone booking on your behalf, or the booking service used to arrange your stay. Required booking information is needed to process your reservation. Please do not send payment-card details or unnecessary sensitive information by email.
We use your information to respond to booking enquiries, manage reservations and communicate about your stay. Our legal basis is taking steps at your request before a booking contract and performing that contract. We keep relevant financial records to meet legal obligations. We also use necessary information for our legitimate interests in administering the business, resolving complaints and protecting legal rights, taking your privacy and interests into account.
We send promotional messages only with your consent. You can withdraw consent at any time by contacting us or using an unsubscribe option in a message. This does not affect your booking, essential messages about your stay, or the lawfulness of earlier processing.
We use SuperControl to manage bookings and guest emails. Relevant information is processed through its booking system and the payment and communication services supporting it. Card payments are handled by Holiday Rent Payment (Yapstone), and guests are taken to its secure payment page. The payment provider may use strictly necessary cookies for payment processing and fraud prevention. See SuperControl’s privacy information and the information provided during payment. We may also disclose relevant information where required by law or necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Netlify hosts our website. Hosting services process technical request information to deliver and secure the site. We use Netlify performance monitoring to understand loading speed and responsiveness; Netlify states that this monitoring does not require browser cookies. This supports our legitimate interest in maintaining a reliable website.
Our embedded calendars and booking cart are provided by SuperControl through secure.supercontrol.co.uk. SuperControl has confirmed that our calendars use only functional and security cookies for the booking process, with no localStorage or sessionStorage used by the widget. No SuperControl analytics, advertising or remarketing tracking is configured for either cottage.
SuperControl has confirmed that its cookies in our booking setup are strictly necessary and do not require a separate consent step before the calendars load. The booking flow also continues to work when third-party cookies are blocked. See SuperControl’s cookie policy; the calendars also provide a Cookie policy link. You can manage cookies through your browser settings. If we introduce optional tracking in future, we will update this notice and obtain consent where required before it loads.
Our service providers may process information outside the UK. Their privacy information explains their processing arrangements and applicable transfer safeguards. You can contact us for further information about the providers involved in your booking. See Netlify’s privacy notice.
Our website links to local businesses, attractions and other services. If you follow a link, the information you provide to that website is handled under its own privacy notice. Please check that notice before sharing personal information.
We retain essential booking and financial records for seven years after the end of the financial year in which your stay takes place, unless a longer legal requirement applies. This is our retention policy for records needed for accounting, tax and relevant legal claims, not a blanket period for every email or guest detail.
Enquiries that do not lead to a booking are retained for up to two years after the last meaningful contact where needed for follow-up. Information no longer needed is deleted sooner. Other routine correspondence is reviewed and deleted when no longer needed for your stay or a documented business or legal purpose.
Marketing contact information is retained while consent remains valid and our relationship remains active, with annual reviews. We stop marketing when you withdraw consent and may keep a minimal opt-out record for as long as needed to respect your choice.
Relevant complaint, dispute or investigation records may be kept until the matter is resolved and applicable legal retention needs have ended. Information no longer required is deleted or anonymised.
Depending on the circumstances, you can request access to your information, correction, erasure, restriction of processing or transfer of certain information. You can object to processing based on legitimate interests and to direct marketing. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.
Email stay@peggesalmshouses.com to exercise your rights. We may need to verify your identity. We normally respond within one month, subject to lawful extensions or exceptions. We will explain if a legal obligation prevents deletion of particular records.
Please contact us with any concerns. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint.
We will update this notice when our practices change and show the revision date above.
Built in 1669 from local sandstone and oak, Pegge’s Almshouses began as six homes, later combined into three. Today, 42 and 46 each retain two front doors within this Grade II* listed building.
