What a great find. Think it may be new as decoration and quality of amenities were great. Really was a lovely place, time and money must would have been invested. Perfect location for the walks we wanted to do. Walked into Bakewell, did the Monsal Trail and hiked up to the old Magpie Mines. Would definitely recommend a stay @ the Ashford Arms food was top quality and to have breakfast included was a bonus. Great pub/choice of beverages too. We had the magpie room comfy double out of the way. No trouble parking but to be honest we didn't use the car from arrival Wednesday afternoon to leaving Friday morning. Can imagine that may change during peak season but a perfect time to visit. Experienced all weathers in those 2 full days but managed to stay warm & dry.

Fantastic hotel!

Fantastic hotel! We would definitely stay here again. The staff were lovely, and the food was excellent. Our room was warm and comfortable with everything we needed - a few cobwebs and a dusty vase lost them a star on cleanliness. Overall though, we loved it and would highly recommend!

Great location, lovely character

Great location, lovely character to the building and very friendly & helpful staff. Restaurant is very good value. The only thing that would have improved the stay would be to offer a continental buffet for the Breakfast as well as a hot option.

Lovely boutique hotel serving excellent meals

A thoroughly enjoyable overnight stay at this boutique hotel.We stayed in a junior suite which was very comfortable and spacious. Slight niggle that the loo flush requires attention and there was an absence of facial tissue which we would expect to find in a hotel of this standard but it did not detract too much from our stay. Our evening Meal of home made chicken and mushroom pie followed by chefs own Bakewell tart with raspberry ice cream was delicious.

A really great stay.

What a little gem The Ashford Arms was. All the staff were friendly and helpful and the rooms very nicely appointed, clean and comfortable. Dining was a pleasure with an interesting menu and the food was fantastic. At breakfast the menu was also very nice and varied and the full breakfast excellent. Good location for visiting Chatsworth, Bakewell etc would definitely recommend a stay.

Can't fault this place!

Devonshire suite was amazing. The entrance into the room felt so welcoming with the radio playing and the welcome note with chocolates left on the table was a nice touch. The bed was incredibly comfortable, we both slept very well. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the food was pretty good there too.
