Lovely, charming little town, St.
Lovely, charming little town, St. Oswald's church is amazing to visit. The little Historical Centre is also a must to learn about the Ashbourne Shrovetide Football, and the Memorial Park was lovely too.
Easy access to the Tissington Trail is from the centre of Ashbourne, but sadly a substantial length of it was closed for our visit due to Ash Tree felling. This is due to continue well into December.
Short drive to Dovedale NT Nature reserve, but the river was in quite a full spate due to the recent rain so access to the Stepping Stones were limited. Ilam Park was a good alternative place to visit however.
We had an Anniversary meal at The Lamplight which was exceptionally good, and we had excellent lunches at Jack Rabbit's and Beaumont's.
We also had a couple of beers in the lovely Queen's Vaults which is a very cosy Craft Beer bar, as well as an excellent pint of Draught Bass in the Wheel Inn, where we were welcomed by the very friendly locals.

Lovely village.
Lovely village. Lots of pubs, restaurants, shops and places to walk.
Very friendly people who are happy to stop and chat with you. Excellent location for Alton Towers - 20 minutes away.
Very good bike hire for short or longer rides. Tissington is a safe journey along the Tissington trail.
Have been here three times and still find new things to do.
Easy to find different cultures of food - Chinese, Indian, British, etc..
Looking forward to returning next year.

Nice reasonable places to eat.
Nice reasonable places to eat. Road through is very busy and noisy with constant traffic. mostly lorries, in both directions.
People were very friendly. We were a bit disappointed that so many businesses have closed since our last visit and there are many empty shops/cafe's etc. A sign of the times I expect. I would visit again for an afternoon, but I don't think we would stay overnight again.

we stayed in Sandybrook holliday park for 8 days and 1 night...
we stayed in Sandybrook holliday park for 8 days and 1 night in de George and Dragon pub wonderfull..Ashbourne is a perfect start for nature walks and biking. the Keslerton castle is beautifull location 30 minutes drive.,Adam architect. parking back the COOP market in centre city for long stay.
Well supplied with kitchen equipment, utensils and condiments, nicely decorated and furnished, and a good, central location for visiting Ashbourne (which has some good pubs and restaurants, also a historic church). The lounge/dining/kitchen area was spacious, and the bathroom had a good shower, so our needs were well met. The apartment seemed to be well sound-proofed as we hardly noticed the traffic outside. Although the car park couldn't be accessed directly from Madge House, it was secure and safe.
We had a lovely, relaxing stay. It was so peaceful and although the other two roundhouses were very close by they were secluded from view so you wouldn’t know they were there. The roundhouse was clean and had a lot of little extra touches like blankets for sitting outside on a chilly evening and fresh milk, eggs and sourdough bread left for us to enjoy. There were plenty of tea bags and coffee pods for the whole of our stay too. We walked into Ashbourne for something to eat and it wasn’t far.
This Inn is in a great location near to Alton Towers and right on the southern edge of the Peak District National Park. Breakfast buffet was included which was very good. For a little extra charge (£8) one can upgrade to a full English breakfast which is perfectly cooked to order. We tried this on one morning and found this to be very nice. Cars can be parked right next to the rooms which is great for unloading/loading luggage.
The breakfast was nicely cooked and very tasty. The room was very quiet at night when the traffic had reduced. The proximity to Ashbourne was good thought turning right out of the drive towards Ashbourne could be challenging at peak times. The property has pleasant views to the rear and a pretty garden. The parking space is adequate for two rooms
The Pigsty is an absolute 5* gem in the Peak District. Beautifully refurbished to a very high standard, stunning, quiet location and Sue and Mark were excellent hosts. The perfect base from which to explore the many delights of the area and the glorious weather was an added bonus! This was our first visit to The Pigsty but won't be our last!
Fitted out to a high standard and very clean. Bed was comfortable. Ideal location for access to Peak District and also just a couple of minutes walk from Ashbourne Sainsbury's. Fresh bottle of milk was waiting in the fridge. The solar powered fairy lights in the back yard were a nice surprise when it got dark. Able to park right outside door.
Perfect stay
We stayed here after a visit to Alton towers (15-20 mins away). Lovely family pub / restaurant and hotel. Great outdoor area and play area for children, amazing food and breakfast (perfect poached eggs!). Lovely rooms. The team really made a great stay for me and my son. Can’t recommend highly enough
We had a fabulous weekend in this lovely house. Very well equipped, spotlessly clean, great location for Ashbourne (easily walkable and supermarket close) and easy to get into the Peak District for great walking in the White Peak particularly. We very much enjoyed out stay thank you
The hotel is situated in the quiet and beautiful Dovedale valley and surrounded by hills and fields. We had very beautiful view of Thorpe's cloud hill from our window. The hotel is the only property in that area. Nearest village is about one mile away. Food is good too.
A great hotel ideally situated for Dovedale and surrounding area. Considering the pressure that the hotel was put under, because of covid, they did a great job. The staff were excellent, the food very good - all in all we had a lovely four nights, in a beautiful area.
The Cottage was clean and well equipped. It was a reasonable walk from the center of Ashbourne. The neighborhood was quiet and there were nice views from the back of the house. Milk and teabags were left for us which was nice. Also some chocolate in the fridge!
Loved the stay. Hosts were very responsive and when we wanted to extend the stay by a day, they gave us a great rate as well. Will surely return to this property whenever I am visiting Peak District.
Great location within Peak District. The holiday park was quiet with large play area. The lodge has comfortable beds, 2 bathrooms, well equipped kitchen, great DVD player with films and games.
Birgit was very welcoming and gave us good advice on the surrounding area , places to visit and where to eat.
Excellent position for Pubs and restaurants in Ashbourne.
Off road parking.
Nothing! I wish to complain about bedroom 2 at The George and Dragon In Ashbourne. We have left our accommodation without staying the evening. We have paid in full £75.
Lovely cottage on the farm yard. The property is sympathetically moderised and comfortable. A great place to stay and enjoy exploring the natural beauty of Derbyshire.
