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.

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.

we stayed in Sandybrook holliday park for 8 days and 1 night...
we stayed in Sandybrook holliday park for 8 days and 1 night in de George and Dragon pub wonderfull..Ashbourne is a perfect start for nature walks and biking. the Keslerton castle is beautifull location 30 minutes drive.,Adam architect. parking back the COOP market in centre city for long stay.
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.
Great location for exploring the Derbyshire Dales. The property is in a lovely small village. It's very quiet and rural with views of the landscape. The property is nice with attention paid to details and well equipped for a self-catering stay. There is also plenty of information about what one can do in the area (if you haven't done your research). The hosts are friendly and approachable with any questions you may have.
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.
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
Great location, friendly staff, and a comfy bed. What more do you need?
Was surprised just how comfortable the room was considering how affordable the stay was. Great place to base yourself to visit Ashbourne and surrounding area. The staff were super friendly and went out of their way to ensure we had a comfortable stay.
Perfect stay
We stayed here after a visit to Alton towers (15-20 mins away). Lovely family pub / restaurant and hotel. Great outdoor area and play area for children, amazing food and breakfast (perfect poached eggs!). Lovely rooms. The team really made a great stay for me and my son. Can’t recommend highly enough
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.
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!
The roundhouse was beautifully designed and finished and very well equipped. The farm setting it’s idyllic and yet very close to the town centre and ideally placed for exploring the Peak District. The welcome pack of sourdough bread, lovely fresh eggs and milk was a really nice touch 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!
Central for visiting the area. Peaceful and beautiful even though it rained the whole time. Wonderful traditional hotel, three star rated but with a five star heart. Lovely and clean, wonderful helpful staff and fabulous food. We really enjoyed our visit.
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.
