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.

Loved the homely cottage feel, decor was amazing. Comfortable bed. Small touches - water by bed, robes, nespresso coffee machine, fan in room. Breakfast was excellent and so was dinner - eaten at lots of places and that was up there. Would definitely recommend and return ourselves. A gym would be nice but just knit picking

Beautiful little inn, but unfortunately was too hot! Booked a room here with partner for one night. Place was beautiful and staff were lovely, but the room was stiflingly hot. Tried to cool it down but to no avail, and eventually felt we had to cancel our reservation. Staff were understanding and helpful throughout, circumstances simply beyond their control.Wouldnt go during the summer but would definitely go again during a cooler period.

We stayed for 1 night to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary. Our first impressions were that it had a lovely buzz about it and the hotel had been refurbished to a very high standard. The staff were extremely polite, friendly and helpful. Our room was immaculate and had all of the facilities one would expect. Having checked in we decided to join the buzz by having a drink in a beautiful lounge bar. We then had an evening meal which was excellent, the waiting staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall a wonderful experience, will visit again.

This is a beautifully refurbished building, quality decor throughout, food was excellent and we had attentive service from all the staff. Nothing was too much trouble. They accommodated the late amendment to our booking and we were made to feel very welcome. Would definitely return again.

It’s a nice inn in a small quiet village with beautiful views if you explore the area. There is a bus stop in front of the hotel. If you are an American who will not be driving, no Uber coverage. We found the hard way. I suggest to add it in the description about no Uber coverage but there is a taxi which needs to be pre-booked, it can get busy. We tried to call a taxi, we were told by the taxi company that they will not be able to pick us up from the hotel until 4 hours later. It’s a nice place, just need to know those details. We didn’t get much help from the reception about getting a taxi or about Uber.
