8/10 Very good

The staff were uniformly lovely. The place was spotlessly clean and tasteful. The room was very small and very hot and there was very loud music coming from the kitchen immediately below until nearly midnight.
Paul, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely hotel in a nice area serving really good food along with great staff. It would have been perfect apart from the size of the room that we were given. The room was clean although extremely small and it was difficult to move around in there. For the price of our stay I would have expected the room would have been much larger.
David, 3-night trip

Everything was perfect. Lovely staff, lovely decor, well thought out room with everything needed such as full lenth mirror in a usable place, plug by bedside for charging phone
EMMA, 1-night trip

Fantastic. Excellent food friendly & helpful staff. Beautiful rooms with everything you could possibly need.
Rachael, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely loved our stay, this is such a cosy hotel with beautiful decor, amazing food and fabulous staff. Wish we had stayed for more than one night! Lovely evening meal in the restaurant, and a great breakfast too. Excellent that you can choose from the breakfast menu and it’s all cooked fresh to order. The only very slight downside was the size of our room. We stayed with friends and both booked deluxe rooms. They were given Marvin and we had Magpie - this was much smaller despite being the same price, with no armchair or separate dressing table area. I think Magpie should be priced cheaper perhaps as a ‘standard’ room, although it was still perfect and had everything we needed! Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful Location

Beautiful old B and B with exceptional customer services. The food was great and very accommodating to my gluten-free daughter. Five miles from Chatsworth House and in a stunning location. Well worth a stop.

Absolutely beautiful pub. We stayed overnight in a lovely room very comfortable and tastefully styled with plenty of hot water, coffee machine and radio too! Dinner and breakfast were delicious and the staff were polite and friendly. The village is beautiful, quiet and picturesque. We honestly can’t fault our stay at the Ashford Arms

Gary, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Absolute gem

Stay was very good and the situation of the hotel is excellent. Staff were all very friendly and the Breakfast was exceptionally good. One downside is the room we stayed in was quite small which was ok for one night but would not have liked to stay there for too many nights in that room. Would definitely return but would go for a different room type.
Tracey, 1-night trip

Lovely hotel!

Gorgeous hotel! We stayed for one night, friendly staff and lovely room which was clean. Hotel bar and restaurant lovely and breakfast very good. Not too far from Bakewell, we had a walk in and called at Thornbridge brewery on the way. We would definitely stay again.
