    Breakfast was adjusted to our needs, allowing us to make sandwiches for lunch which was very helpful as we were on a walking weekend with very few suitable facilities. Parking was off road. Location was central to our requirements.

    Birgit was an excellent host and had a lot of useful knowledge of the local area. She was also very accommodating despite us being later than anticipated, which we really appreciated.

    Location was central. Within walking distance to shops, restaurants and pubs. The host was very accommodating, offering a delicious hot breakfast if preferred. The room was neat and clean.

Birgit Goode
My bed and breakfast 'The Sixth Happiness' derives its inspiration from the true story of Glady's Aylward, an English lady who became an Innkeeper in China. Her life was depicted in the Hollywood movie 'The Inn of the Sixth Happiness' with Ingrid Bergman. My aim and joy is to offer hospitality that delights and aiding my guests to finding out for themselves what the Sixth Happiness means for them.
I am an explorer by nature. I love true adventure stories and historical dramas. I would love to explore more of China and cycle southern Europe. I like reading stories out loud to people who like to listen. I lived in Germany and the Netherlands but my home is England. I love pets, people and hospitality.
Ashbourne is one of the most delightful towns in England; it is called ' the gateway to the Peaks'. Three major beauty spots are within ten minutes drive, Ilam, Dovedale and Tissington. The town itself has its own 1/4 mile of antique shops as well as a lots of cafés, giftshops and super markets.
