Everything about this hotel was just perfect. The hotel is positioned amongst stunning Derbyshire countryside and exudes classic English elegance and charm. The gentleman who managed the evening dining in the bar and breakfast room was professional and friendly. Thank you for the exceptional stay....it certainly exceeded all expectations.

EVERYTHING!!! The location was picturesque, and the facilities were impeccable with everything catered for. There was a welcome pack of crisps, chocolate, and milk. The Bell tent had tea, coffee and sugar available with a cool box, cooking facilities in terms of an oven incorporated within the log burner, and a BBQ fire pit outside (with all cooking utensils available at the property). The bed was both comfortable and warm with quality bedding and an electric blanket. The hosts were welcoming and available for any enquiries. I can not praise this place enough.

Highly recommend the Royal Oak. We arrived early as we was attending a wedding near by and the staff was very helpful in arranging an early check in and cooking us a full English breakfast even though the kitchen had stopped serving. The breakfast was delicious!
If we ever happen to be in the area again we will most definitely stay here and/or drop in for a meal - thank you!

it was busier than we imagined. we ate in two lovely independent restaurants/cafes, Lamplight & Corner stone. The park was nice to stretch legs in but is not that large...we were only in town a few hours.

Small cute place.
Small cute place. Great genuinely Gluten Free and affordable Thai Restaurant in the center called 'Thai Basement' (01335 300305). Cute cellar based restaurant. Don't let the tiny door leading down to it put you off, it's a gem!

Lovely, charming little town, St.
Lovely, charming little town, St. Oswald's church is amazing to visit. The little Historical Centre is also a must to learn about the Ashbourne Shrovetide Football, and the Memorial Park was lovely too.
Easy access to the Tissington Trail is from the centre of Ashbourne, but sadly a substantial length of it was closed for our visit due to Ash Tree felling. This is due to continue well into December.
Short drive to Dovedale NT Nature reserve, but the river was in quite a full spate due to the recent rain so access to the Stepping Stones were limited. Ilam Park was a good alternative place to visit however.
We had an Anniversary meal at The Lamplight which was exceptionally good, and we had excellent lunches at Jack Rabbit's and Beaumont's.
We also had a couple of beers in the lovely Queen's Vaults which is a very cosy Craft Beer bar, as well as an excellent pint of Draught Bass in the Wheel Inn, where we were welcomed by the very friendly locals.

Lovely village.
Lovely village. Lots of pubs, restaurants, shops and places to walk.
Very friendly people who are happy to stop and chat with you. Excellent location for Alton Towers - 20 minutes away.
Very good bike hire for short or longer rides. Tissington is a safe journey along the Tissington trail.
Have been here three times and still find new things to do.
Easy to find different cultures of food - Chinese, Indian, British, etc..
Looking forward to returning next year.

Nice reasonable places to eat.
Nice reasonable places to eat. Road through is very busy and noisy with constant traffic. mostly lorries, in both directions.
People were very friendly. We were a bit disappointed that so many businesses have closed since our last visit and there are many empty shops/cafe's etc. A sign of the times I expect. I would visit again for an afternoon, but I don't think we would stay overnight again.
Well supplied with kitchen equipment, utensils and condiments, nicely decorated and furnished, and a good, central location for visiting Ashbourne (which has some good pubs and restaurants, also a historic church). The lounge/dining/kitchen area was spacious, and the bathroom had a good shower, so our needs were well met. The apartment seemed to be well sound-proofed as we hardly noticed the traffic outside. Although the car park couldn't be accessed directly from Madge House, it was secure and safe.
We had a lovely, relaxing stay. It was so peaceful and although the other two roundhouses were very close by they were secluded from view so you wouldn’t know they were there. The roundhouse was clean and had a lot of little extra touches like blankets for sitting outside on a chilly evening and fresh milk, eggs and sourdough bread left for us to enjoy. There were plenty of tea bags and coffee pods for the whole of our stay too. We walked into Ashbourne for something to eat and it wasn’t far.
The breakfast was nicely cooked and very tasty. The room was very quiet at night when the traffic had reduced. The proximity to Ashbourne was good thought turning right out of the drive towards Ashbourne could be challenging at peak times. The property has pleasant views to the rear and a pretty garden. The parking space is adequate for two rooms
Extremely stylish comfortable hotel set in the beautiful Derbyshire Dales. The Garden Room extension on the side of the building is a great light filled space to eat and drink. Food is impeccably presented, tasty and is sourced locally where possible. The cocktails were to die for! Staff are friendly and super helpful.
The cottage was modern clean and well furnished. It had lovely views. Our teenagers were happy so that says it all !
The location was perfect. Close enough drive to Alton Towers and explore the surrounding areas. Ashbourne is very pretty and only a few minutes walk from the cottage.
The fish shop is worth a visit too.
Arrival was flexible and easy. Philippa was just wonderful and provided us with a bounty of local information.
The property was well equipped for a long or short stay.
We felt like we had our own secret part of Derbyshire with the garden, hot tub not being overlooked and homely accommodation
Lovely location for walking, Ashbourne and Dovedale. The kids loved the games room. Nice to have a swimming pool too. Cottage generally comfortable and well equipt with everything you need kitchen-wise. Nice extra touches like cozy throws etc. Nice outdoor grounds and play area too.
We had a fabulous weekend in this lovely house. Very well equipped, spotlessly clean, great location for Ashbourne (easily walkable and supermarket close) and easy to get into the Peak District for great walking in the White Peak particularly. We very much enjoyed out stay thank you
Very close to Ashbourne town centre which is really lovely, free parking right outside the property, very comfortable bed & bedding, warm and cosy property, very quiet considering it's next door to Sainsbury's, which itself is actually a plus for shopping needs.
The Cottage was clean and well equipped. It was a reasonable walk from the center of Ashbourne. The neighborhood was quiet and there were nice views from the back of the house. Milk and teabags were left for us which was nice. Also some chocolate in the fridge!
Loved the stay. Hosts were very responsive and when we wanted to extend the stay by a day, they gave us a great rate as well. Will surely return to this property whenever I am visiting Peak District.
Excellent Hotel, beautiful interiors, friendly & helpful staff and amazing food. There is so much to do in the area, from walking & biking on hotel bikes to local art & pottery classes
. Beautiful room overlooking the dales, super views, very quiet. Walks to Dovedale & area start from just behind the hotel. Staff were most welcoming & helpful
