The Ashford Arms

Breakfasts were excellent. Good choices and each breakfast I ate was delicious. Food was attractively presented. The staff were extremely pleasant and polite. The dinners were also very good and the restaurant was very popular with the locals.

Service was slow. From the time we ordered our food, it took quite a long time to arrive at our table.

First impression, this is all a rather nice ambience, unhurried, relaxed, comforting. Great building. All staff were helpful, positive, engaged. Good comfortable restaurant. Nice selection. Food v.good. Pie, thai noodles, bakewell tart recommended. Breakfast, full english superb, sausages especially. Fast enough service. Nice beer after long journey. Asked if we'd like another drink just at the right time! Hotel part well organised, well explained on arrival. Room was good for one night. Bed v.comfy. Location, brilliant for Peaks, lovely village. Price was right for all above especially considering where you are. Carpark good.

Magpie room a little cramped. Just enough room. Could do with some shelving in bathroom for your toiletries etc. Previous occupants used razor in shower. Look out for this. Carpark needs a resurface in places.

The breakfast was excellent and we loved the village.

Our room Dale End was very dark with poor lighting, very hard to read at night. Unable to open windows but air con was provided but noisy. Room situated over kitchen so a lot of food smells and noise from bins and car park. Shower very small and if staying longer not much wardrobe or cupboard space.

Gorgeous rooms, excellent food and staff were so friendly and helpful

The food was remarkable, absolutely remarkable; the staff were friendly and courteous; the historic building was beautifully restored; and the location is idyllic. We were just in transit to North Yorkshire, but this would make an ideal location for exploring the fabulous Peak District.

There were really no dislikes at all.

The location was perfect for exploring the area. It's one of the prettiest villages I have visited. Breakfasts were excellent with staff giving options to one's own requirements. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. One server in particular, Fiona, was incredibly kind to me and offered to drive us there and back to the Dales Hospital, when I was unexpectedly taken ill. She deserves a recommendation. The room was very nicely furnished.

I'm not sure that I understood what a Boutique Room was. In fact our first room was so tiny, we had nowhere to keep our clothes and belongings, as well as having to shimmy around the room without colliding with the furniture. The Manager very kindly offered us a very slightly bigger room. Unfortunately there was a lot of referred noise from the kitchen below and our view looked out into the bin area. We also struggled to find spaces to store clothes and belongings. The menu was extensive but we were unable to use the restaurant so I can't comment on this. It would have been very useful to have been able to see sample menus during the booking procedure to ensure that we chose the right hotel for our requirements.

The staff and the location are fantastic. Great place

Na

A beautifully renovated old inn in a very pretty village. All areas are tastefully decorated with good quality finishes and high quality extras such as in-room coffee and toiletries. The restaurant serves excellent food and we very much enjoyed our dinner and breakfast.

The room we had (Harris) was tiny. Beautiful but tiny at approx 3x5 m however had everything within that we needed for our single night stay. Unfortunately it’s directly over the busy kitchen which meant it was very noisy- commencing with breakfast service at 7:00 am ( noisy extraction on at 7:30) until about 10:30 pm. VERY NOISY . It would be a poor room for a multiple night stay and was expensive considering its position in the building.
