It was ok, very small room for what we paid, bathroom was tiny, we had a stand alone air con in the room which was great, however this meant it was vented outside and we couldn't close the window so was woken early by the noise from the hotel

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.

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

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.

One night treat

Memorable food, we were wowed by the flavours. Restaurant and kitchen staff must work tremendously hard to keep this standard up. Our room was comfortable and the bathroom was huge. Close enough to walk to Bakewell following the river from Ashford, across the fields. We will definitely return.

Lovely overnight stay. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Food was excellent!! Only downfall was we were above the kitchen so when they slammed the door it was extremely loud in our room - especially at 6:45am but other than that we can’t fault it and will definitely be back!!

This was our first visit to the hotel since it was refurbished. I’d saved up to take my husband there for his birthday treat. When we got there, we were so impressed and our room was lovely, apart from it feeling very warm. We realised that we were directly above the kitchen. It was really noisy, as the extractor fan was so noisy to the point that it felt like we were about to take off on an aeroplane ( and that is no exaggeration ) We were kept awake by the staff laughing outside and throwing bottles into the bin till around 11pm. Then at 7am on bank holiday Monday, we were woken at 7am by staff talking loud outside and the extractor fan went on again. We couldn’t get back to sleep after this. The staff were really lovely at breakfast and we would come back again, but definitely not back to the room above the kitchen. It wasn’t the birthday night I had planned.
