EVERYTHING!!! The location was picturesque, and the facilities were impeccable with everything catered for. There was a welcome pack of crisps, chocolate, and milk. The Bell tent had tea, coffee and sugar available with a cool box, cooking facilities in terms of an oven incorporated within the log burner, and a BBQ fire pit outside (with all cooking utensils available at the property). The bed was both comfortable and warm with quality bedding and an electric blanket. The hosts were welcoming and available for any enquiries. I can not praise this place enough.

it was busier than we imagined. we ate in two lovely independent restaurants/cafes, Lamplight & Corner stone. The park was nice to stretch legs in but is not that large...we were only in town a few hours.

Small cute place.
Small cute place. Great genuinely Gluten Free and affordable Thai Restaurant in the center called 'Thai Basement' (01335 300305). Cute cellar based restaurant. Don't let the tiny door leading down to it put you off, it's a gem!

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.
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.
Very cosy and spacious - made for a wonderful base but also provided a great night's sleep and beautiful views. Over the weekend, we enjoyed a night in with a big family meal and board games and a night out in Ashbourne, including a pleasant visit to House of Beer. Tonnes of walks nearby and a local parkrun. Overall was great value for money as a group of 5 and would recommend if looking in this area :)
We visited this hotel as we were going to Alton towers and it's really close.
I have visited before and absolutely love this hotel.
All the staff are helpful and very polite. During check in I was told we had a free upgrade to the bakeell room and it was absolutely beautiful. The views outside the room were lovely and the room was large and very clean. Can't wait to visit again.
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!
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
Wonderfully comfortable in a great location and provided everything we required. Very cozy with a lovely garden area. In a quiet location but central to Ashbourne. Would book again. Best place to park for free is in the Pavilion car park adjacent to the park on Cokayne Avenue about 3 minutes from the house.
Lovely location for walking, Ashbourne and Dovedale. The kids loved the games room. Nice to have a swimming pool too. Cottage generally comfortable and well equipt with everything you need kitchen-wise. Nice extra touches like cozy throws etc. Nice outdoor grounds and play area too.
Great location as only 5 mins walk into the town centre with plenty of restaurants and pubs/bars and easy to get to beauty spots in the Peak District.
Birgit was a great host, very friendly and informative. Lovely fresh continental breakfast and comfortable room.
Very close to Ashbourne town centre which is really lovely, free parking right outside the property, very comfortable bed & bedding, warm and cosy property, very quiet considering it's next door to Sainsbury's, which itself is actually a plus for shopping needs.
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!
Central for visiting the area. Peaceful and beautiful even though it rained the whole time. Wonderful traditional hotel, three star rated but with a five star heart. Lovely and clean, wonderful helpful staff and fabulous food. We really enjoyed our visit.
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.
Excellent Hotel, beautiful interiors, friendly & helpful staff and amazing food. There is so much to do in the area, from walking & biking on hotel bikes to local art & pottery classes
