Ruth United Kingdom

The lady who owns it is lovely the room was clean and tidy and the bed was comfy, breakfast was fantastic.

Nicola United Kingdom

We were meet on arrival. As we needed to be away in the morning the owner made us an excellent breakfast at 7.15 rather than the usual from 8am which was very much appreciated. As we we’re doing a charity hike and passed near the property she came out and gave us a supportive wave, how lovely, just the little things. Would definitely recommend for welcome and location.

Fantastic host, lovely location, clean and comfortable room,and a scrumptious breakfast. I would recommend The Lilacs to anyone as I would certainly stay here again. 100%. Good value for money.

Ashbourne is a very pretty place.. small boutique style shops a leisure centre offering all the usual activities. Carrington water is only 15 mins away with water sports, restaurants and shops. Dove Dale is extremely picturesque with lots of walking along the river and through the dales. Balewell and Chatsworth House are only 30 mins away and of course Alton Towers is 15 mins away. There are a number of National Trust properties in the area and bananas loads of small villages to explore.
