Lovely nights stay at the Ashford Arms. Comfortable rooms and excellent restaurant serving fabulous food. Nice to have a breakfast menu as opposed to a buffet. Great location in quiet village close to Bakewell. Would stay again if back in Derbyshire.

The “ deluxe double room “ is a small double room. The shower room is also incredibly small with the room. Staff and breakfast were great.
Dean, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely loved our stay, this is such a cosy hotel with beautiful decor, amazing food and fabulous staff. Wish we had stayed for more than one night! Lovely evening meal in the restaurant, and a great breakfast too. Excellent that you can choose from the breakfast menu and it’s all cooked fresh to order. The only very slight downside was the size of our room. We stayed with friends and both booked deluxe rooms. They were given Marvin and we had Magpie - this was much smaller despite being the same price, with no armchair or separate dressing table area. I think Magpie should be priced cheaper perhaps as a ‘standard’ room, although it was still perfect and had everything we needed! Would definitely stay again.

Nice stay

Lovely food. Room reasonable space and decor lovely. But unfortunately loud noise from a large fan and in the kitchen below us.

Great location, lovely character

Great location, lovely character to the building and very friendly & helpful staff. Restaurant is very good value. The only thing that would have improved the stay would be to offer a continental buffet for the Breakfast as well as a hot option.

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

10/10 Exceptional

Great one night stay.

Having only re-opened a month previously The Ashford Arms was very clean and our room was spacious and well equipped. The hotel was very well staffed and they were all helpful and competent. We enjoyed our one night stay. One piece of advice to future guests - make a restaurant reservation before you arrive if you would prefer to eat in the restaurant. [We were happy to eat in the bar!]

Brilliant from start to finish!

From the staff who couldn’t do enough for you and always had a smile on their faces, to the stunning food, the beautiful and comfortable rooms and the picture perfect location, this hotel is an absolute gem. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you for a wonderful break.
