We visited this hotel as we were going to Alton towers and it's really close.
I have visited before and absolutely love this hotel.
All the staff are helpful and very polite. During check in I was told we had a free upgrade to the bakeell room and it was absolutely beautiful. The views outside the room were lovely and the room was large and very clean. Can't wait to visit again.

A beautiful accommodation, clean, cosy perfectly located and equipped. Lovely and warm and the bed was incredible. I especially loved the decor, so individual unique. Gorgeous veranda where I sat in the morning soaking up the sunshine with a cuppa. The owner was very communicative and friendly. Definitely a place I’d love to go back to. A peaceful and restful stay.

This is our second stay here and wow have the new owners given it a refurb! Lovely new carpets, furniture and a gorgeous breakfast. We will definitely be staying again. A beautiful location in a rural village close enough to Alton towers for us. Family feel and very welcoming.

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.
First of all, a great location. Having lived in and around the area for many years we knew what to expect, but the views are still fantastic, both from our room and from outside the hotel. Dovedale is just a few minutes walk away. The room was a really good size and the bed was very comfortable. Combined with the quiet location, I slept about as well as I ever have. The full English breakfast next morning was very good - the chef knows how to make scrambled eggs properly! The staff were as friendly and helpful as we could have wished for.
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.
We visited this hotel as we were going to Alton towers and it's really close.

Excellent hotel with a superb host! Close to Alton Towers and right in the centre of Ashbourne. Host kindly catered for our Vegan dietary requirements and provided tons of information on activities in the surrounding area . The room is oriental themed and beautifully decorated with all necessary appliances and a good selection of movies to watch too!
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
The Pigsty is an absolute 5* gem in the Peak District. Beautifully refurbished to a very high standard, stunning, quiet location and Sue and Mark were excellent hosts. The perfect base from which to explore the many delights of the area and the glorious weather was an added bonus! This was our first visit to The Pigsty but won't be our last!
Very welcoming - lovely gentleman who showed us around and took us to our room, carrying our bags. Loved the eco and sustainability ethos of the hotel. Wonderful open fire in the check in area. Complimentary chocs went down well too. Beautifully decorated and great location. Lots of lovely welcoming touches.
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
Beautiful property in the heart of Derbyshire - everything we needed was provided and if we were missing anything, the host was available to help. Stunning location surrounded by lush green fields and a lake on site. Would highly recommend to groups or families - thank you for a lovely stay!
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
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!
Service from the staff was excellent. It was my wife's birthday and they looked after her very well. The staff were trying really hard to make the hotel a success, the level of professionalism from the chefs was commendable.
The location was good. It was easy to walk into Ashbourne. The property was in a quiet area. The kitchen & dining area was user friendly & opened onto a small garden with seating.
Bedding & towels were good.
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
Great location for exploring Ashbourne and as a base for Peak District walking. Parking space very useful plus road parking nearby. Air conditioning came in handy
