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.

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!
