Very new hotel which is in the final stages of completion. However beautifully furnished, good parking, lovely staff. Some teething problems which we are sure they will resolve quickly. We will definitely stay again.

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.

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!]

A thoroughly enjoyable overnight stay at this boutique hotel.We stayed in a junior suite which was very comfortable and spacious. Slight niggle that the loo flush requires attention and there was an absence of facial tissue which we would expect to find in a hotel of this standard but it did not detract too much from our stay. Our evening Meal of home made chicken and mushroom pie followed by chefs own Bakewell tart with raspberry ice cream was delicious.

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.

Lovely hotel in a nice area serving really good food along with great staff. It would have been perfect apart from the size of the room that we were given. The room was clean although extremely small and it was difficult to move around in there. For the price of our stay I would have expected the room would have been much larger.

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.

A fantastic little hotel, the pictures online I believe don’t do it justice. We stayed in the Magpie room which was a little compact BUT it’s at the top floor on its own out of the way. It’s so lovey and quiet with no doors slamming or other guests walking past, fabulous! Room itself was cosy and clean with a lovely view from the window over the village. Breakfast was great too with a good choice from the menu if you wanted something other than a full English. The only fault I had was with how hot the room was but in a period property, in a loft room, during a heatwave there really isn’t much that could have been done. The hotel did provide an electric fan. The village itself is beautiful, there are a few little shops and bars and a lovely river walk which takes around 40minutes in to Bakewell. Would recommend.

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.

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.

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.

Lovely location and very well appointed, clearly very popular as you had to reserve at dinner and it was full. The breakfast was delicious as well

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.

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

Fantastic, friendly and accommodating staff - food and service. Seriously the best lime and soda :), something so simple and yet… I have an adventurous palate, so was delighted to try a new taste sensation in the Brazilian cheese bread. The Bakewell dessert did not disappoint, was beyond expectation and ample for two spoons! Thank you. Photographic stroll over the bridge just behind the hotel - 100 metre walk.

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.

A thoroughly enjoyable overnight stay at this boutique hotel.We stayed in a junior suite which was very comfortable and spacious. Slight niggle that the loo flush requires attention and there was an absence of facial tissue which we would expect to find in a hotel of this standard but it did not detract too much from our stay. Our evening Meal of home made chicken and mushroom pie followed by chefs own Bakewell tart with raspberry ice cream was delicious.

Great little hotel. Not long since being re opened I believe. Really nice decor, great food (although a little expensive), friendly welcoming staff and the best thing was the room which was very luxurious with coffee machine, fresh teas etc all for a very reasonable price with breakfast included! Would definitely stay and recommend.

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.
