A fantastic little hotel, the pictures online I believe don’t do it justice.
We stayed in the Magpie room which was a little compact BUT it’s at the top floor on its own out of the way. It’s so lovey and quiet with no doors slamming or other guests walking past, fabulous!
Room itself was cosy and clean with a lovely view from the window over the village.
Breakfast was great too with a good choice from the menu if you wanted something other than a full English.
The only fault I had was with how hot the room was but in a period property, in a loft room, during a heatwave there really isn’t much that could have been done. The hotel did provide an electric fan.
The village itself is beautiful, there are a few little shops and bars and a lovely river walk which takes around 40minutes in to Bakewell.
Would recommend.
Lovely nights stay at the Ashford Arms. Comfortable rooms and excellent restaurant serving fabulous food. Nice to have a breakfast menu as opposed to a buffet. Great location in quiet village close to Bakewell. Would stay again if back in Derbyshire.

The “ deluxe double room “ is a small double room. The shower room is also incredibly small with the room.
Staff and breakfast were great.
Fantastic, friendly and accommodating staff - food and service. Seriously the best lime and soda :), something so simple and yet… I have an adventurous palate, so was delighted to try a new taste sensation in the Brazilian cheese bread. The Bakewell dessert did not disappoint, was beyond expectation and ample for two spoons!
Thank you.
Photographic stroll over the bridge just behind the hotel - 100 metre walk.
One night stay, such a lovely quiet village. Room and food top notch. Would stay again if in Peaks.

It was ok, very small room for what we paid, bathroom was tiny, we had a stand alone air con in the room which was great, however this meant it was vented outside and we couldn't close the window so was woken early by the noise from the hotel
Stay was very good and the situation of the hotel is excellent. Staff were all very friendly and the Breakfast was exceptionally good.
One downside is the room we stayed in was quite small which was ok for one night but would not have liked to stay there for too many nights in that room.
Would definitely return but would go for a different room type.
Absolutely beautiful pub. We stayed overnight in a lovely room very comfortable and tastefully styled with plenty of hot water, coffee machine and radio too! Dinner and breakfast were delicious and the staff were polite and friendly. The village is beautiful, quiet and picturesque. We honestly can’t fault our stay at the Ashford Arms
Beautiful old B and B with exceptional customer services. The food was great and very accommodating to my gluten-free daughter. Five miles from Chatsworth House and in a stunning location. Well worth a stop.
Memorable food, we were wowed by the flavours. Restaurant and kitchen staff must work tremendously hard to keep this standard up. Our room was comfortable and the bathroom was huge. Close enough to walk to Bakewell following the river from Ashford, across the fields. We will definitely return.
