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.
This is a lovely hotel which is suffering an identity problem. The main issue here is that the price point is at 5 star level, whereas the hotel itself is really 4 star accommodation. The interior design is lovely and we enjoyed spending time in the communal areas of the hotel, the modern restaurant extension is impressive with tasty food offerings, and the grounds beautiful. There really is a lot to like here and Callow Hall has all the makings of a fabulous destination hotel, but it was let down on a few points as listed below.
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.
Mount Pleasant is an excellent modernised house to stay in for a group of seven people, with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a dining room with an very well appointed kitchen and two sitting rooms. It is well furnished and retains some old features from the original house including beams and fire places.
The Red lion pub just three houses away provides very good dinners. It is convenient for the southern Derbyshire Dales.
Great facilities & location - perfect for our purposes for our stay in the area. Comfy beds, good little living room area & kitchen facilities + double apartment had 2 en suites with great showers. Manager of pub was extremely helpful upon our arrival. Very close to the lovely town of Ashbourne where we were able to go for breakfast each morning (as pub doesn’t open until 12).
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
Fitted out to a high standard and very clean. Bed was comfortable. Ideal location for access to Peak District and also just a couple of minutes walk from Ashbourne Sainsbury's. Fresh bottle of milk was waiting in the fridge. The solar powered fairy lights in the back yard were a nice surprise when it got dark. Able to park right outside door.
What can you say about this gem of a hotel in the Peak District, if you want a city centre hotel with lots of night life this isn't the place to go.
The staff were fantastic extremely welcoming and professional the food was excellent especially the full Derbyshire breakfast and the scenery and view from the room and restaurant was amazing.
The availability of parking and the location in the centre of town was very good. We were given a warm welcome and looked after well.
The Tissington trail was on the doorstep and Dovedale is a short driveway away. It's a good base for a holiday in the Peak District. Some welcoming pubs/restaurants. Sainsbury's was next door.
Staff did an amazing job to support residents despite large staff absences for isolation with Covid at peak wave.
The chef produced food of a very high calibre indeed , whilst also doing housework and bar-waiting to help out !! Great example of teamwork at its best. There are river valley hikes from the hotel door.
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
The farm is well located just outside of Ashbourne, perfect base for exploring the Peak district. The accommodation itself was absolutely beautiful. All the amenities you could possibly need are on site. Great instructions provided on finding the farm. Check in and check out were a breeze.
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!
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.
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.
The location of this property is in the heart of Ashbourne. A great town for pubs, restaurants and shopping. It was an ideal base for us to explore the Peak District.
