ABOUT RAMSHORN ESTATE...

Nestled in a tranquil leafy corner of the Staffordshire Moorlands countryside, on the doorstep of the Peak District and Derbyshire Dales, set in 30 acres of natural protected woodlands... Ramshorn Estate offers all season detached holiday homes, private facilities, peace, relaxation and fun get-togethers just a few minutes away from the thrills and excitement of the UK’s biggest theme park, Alton Towers. It’s the ideal base, whatever your holiday plans!

Centrally located (within easy reach of the M1 and M6), Ramshorn Estate is perfect for exploring some superb countryside, trying outdoor pursuits, wandering around one of the many historic local market towns with their boutique and antique shops and cafes, as well as visiting a whole range of attractions within easy reach.

With many sizes to choose from, these detached and spacious modern lodges range from one to nine bedrooms and can accommodate groups of up to 18 people and all allow dogs.

These woodland lodges are fully self-catering and offer comfort and simple stylish contemporary furnishings at a high standard. When you’ve been out for a few hours, you’ll have the luxury and peace of your woodland lodge to return to… snuggle up by a cosy log burner, enjoy a barbecue, or soak away in your own private hot tub (serviced daily). Some have a games room and sauna.

Included in the price is linen and towels (beds made), car parking (one car per bedroom, more spaces available), fast fibre WiFi internet and smart TV’s with bluetooth audio.

As the accommodation is self catering, we recommend that guests read all of the info in full prior to booking and again prior to travel, and take their own consumables, extra towels (2-3 per guest are provided for use inside only) and a hairdryer if required. Everything you need to cook and eat with should be present.

Whether you’re planning a romantic rural getaway, a family gathering, time with close friends, shopping and drinks in Derby, an action-packed holiday exploring the area or a relaxing break, there’s a lodge here to suit your holiday plans.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION FIRST...

VERY IMPORTANT:
All information we present here and on our website must be read and agreed to as we cannot be held responsible for guests not absorbing this information and then becoming disgruntled with us... it is in your interest.

Please kindly read (and ask questions if necessary) before booking and again before travel to avoid any incorrect expectations or complications on arrival and to enter and use our facilities properly.

We will provide you with details on how to obtain access, what to take what not to take etc.

We have done the best we can and invested a lot of time and money to help you enjoy the smoothest arrival possible, so please follow our procedures closely, for your benefit.

A BIT ABOUT US FOR YOUR PEACE OF MIND:
We are a family run company, have been successfully providing holiday accommodation for over 20 years and are continually expanding.

Our parent company is a builder/redeveloper with over 30 years experience, specialising in quality bespoke traditional and contemporary properties.

Our portfolio currently consists of 19 properties, expanding to over 25 in 2024.

We have Cosy Cottages, Woodland Retreats and Unique Conversions in The Peak District, Anglesey, Deryshire Dales and Staffordshire Moorlands.

All properties are serviced and maintained by our own staff of cleaners, tradespersons and handy-persons, so you can trust us as much as anyone!

With having so many holiday homes, guests and staff to look after, our small team has created methods of management to be as efficient as possible, which are mostly electronic, but there are humans behind it all!
No one is perfect but we do our best we can for you!

CONTACT:
Airbnb chat and office email is only for admin and only during office hours, also please don't call the single phone number we have... Instead of relying on one person with one out of hours number we have an electronic system for OUT OF HOURS HELP set up which reaches enough of the right staff to deal with any issues as quickly as possible. Details will be provided before arrival when you check in online.

In the interest of fraud prevention and clarity we will only discuss bookings and out of hours help with the lead guest who are ultimately responsible, even if not in the property at the time of a problem.
It is very inefficient to receive calls and messages from various people who we don't recognise from the booking/check in details.

PRICING & OCCUPANCY:
Prices are based on property capacity rather than actual occupancy.

Maximum occupancy is in the title of this listing. Guests are counted as anyone over the age of 2 years (infants aren't counted, travel cots are not provided but guests may take their own child equipment).

Extra visitors are generally not allowed.

ONE OFF SET UP & CLEANING FEES:
As you will see on many listings, they are standard practise on most holiday home rental websites and are a transparent way of pricing, in that they are not hidden in a nightly rate.
If they were hidden in a nightly rate it would be unfair, especially for guests staying for a while.
There is no method for setting the first night of a stay at a high rate to cover the one off fees, then subsequent nights at a lower rate to just cover rental costs.
So the cleaning fee per booking does this job well.
We appreciate that they may look high (and they are different for each property as all are different sizes with different facilities) but we ask you to consider that in general we do not provide shared facilities like a hotel, most of our facilities are private and most properties have a hot tub, some have two! Between each booking we always drain, clean, refill, reheat, treat and maintain them daily during your stay.
Some properties have a sauna, barbecue and fire, we use a professional laundry company for towels and bed sheets and we also employ full time professional cleaning teams, trades and maintenance staff and do not profit from their work, we pay them for you.

DOGS:
2 dogs are permitted for £30 each (pre-arranged and payable prior to arrival), any additional dogs are permitted only at the owner’s discretion and for an additional fee of £30 each. No dog is to be left unattended whatsoever. Dogs are not permitted in bedrooms or on furniture including sofas and should sleep in a crate. Guests are liable for all damage and or extra cleaning caused by their dogs. Guests must remove all traces (inside and out) from the property of pet occupation before departure. The property owner reserves the right to levy any additional charge for any extra cleaning required after guest occupancy. Outside of the property, dogs must always be kept on a lead and not allowed to roam, not all areas are fenced off. Dogs causing too much noise, especially after dark, may be asked to leave.

CHECK IN ONLINE:
This occurs via our website and provides you with...
- Information about your holiday home and its facilities.
- Directions to it.
- The opportunity to book and pay for extras.
- Information regarding out of hours Help.
- The method of paying a refundable security deposit of £150.
- ACCESS DETAILS ARE SENT WHEN CHECK IN IS COMPLETE AND REFUNDABLE SECURITY DEPOSIT PAID (please check your email inbox and junk folder).

ARRIVALS & DEPARTURES:
Arrivals are always from 4pm, departure by 10am.
Our staff work at many locations, and never know how much work they may be faced with by guests vacating the morning of a new arrival until they enter the property to check, therefore we have to plan their work carefully and there is no room in their schedule to cater for earlier arrivals or later departures.
We do accept last minute bookings too, so if you believe the property to be empty before after you, that may change at very short notice.

WHAT TO EXPECT OF YOUR HOLIDAY HOME:
Please bear in mind that all of our holiday homes are not someone’s home, they are set up just for guests, so you will find it clean, well equipped, not over-furnished and not cluttered with any particular taste forced upon you. We all have our own preferences when it comes to how beds and sofas feel; we install what we have found appeals to most people and to last as long as possible, but it is impossible to cater for all tastes.

OUR TAKE ON SELF CATERING:
...it's Self Catering!
We don’t choose your tea and coffee etc for you, then over charge you and hide the costs in the rental rates, same as we wouldn't want to give you laundry products etc which you may be allergic too, so we just keep the prices as low as we can and ask guests to take ALL consumables so you're not left wondering what is there when you arrive.

ANYTHING ELSE:
"THE SMALL PRINT" (general rules etc) can be found on our website in the "Need To Know" menu.

If you would like to find more about this property or any others, they are all listed on our website (continually being updated).

Thank you for reading and we look forward to the opportunity of helping you with your holiday!
