The Dog & Partridge Country Inn ★★★

"Breakfast is not really included as such. Only the continental buffet. This is cereal, fruits, cereal bars, baked items and a large selection of cakes, including mince pies, which was odd for breakfast. The hot breakfast requires a surcharge to be paid, something I’ve never experienced before. The full English would be best described as part English breakfast, with no sausages, tomatoes, or mushrooms included which is a bit of an insult when you’re paying a surcharge. I can’t fault the service, or anything else, but this felt a bit naughty to be doing."

Stables Ashbourne ★★★★

The Okeover Arms ★★★★

"A quick overnight stay as it was a handy location for visiting Alton Towers. Booking was simple, price was reasonable and turned out to be excellent value for money. Easy to find with the sat nav as the hamlet of Mappleton seems to be a one road place. Checked in at the pub bar, very friendly and great atmosphere. Room was exactly as expected, spotlessly clean and well presented. Very comfortable bed. Breakfast in the morning was delicious. Would recommend and stay again if I’m ever in the area."

The Royal Oak ★★★

"Noisiest room I’ve ever stayed in .. walls were thumping with music until 1pm .. if the staff had had the curtesy to tell us a function was on we would have stayed somewhere else . Do not stay in rooms 5,6 or7 in the Coach House. I booked the room over the telephone at 4pm and arrived checked in and paid by 5pm and at no point did staff tell us it would be very noisy despite us now seeing numerous reviews on Trip Adivsor to that effect . At 10.30pm we called the manager up to our room and on being told the blaring noise would continue until 1pm we demanded a full refund , which was immediately granted .. but of course we did not get a good nights sleep .. why they let anyone knowingly book this room in the first place is beyond me ."

Travelodge Ashbourne ★★★

"BEST TRAVELODGE STAY EVER! Excellent sleep. Compleatly clean and tidy. Quiet. Quick check-in and out. Good parking. At the right price. I would go out of my way to stay here again."
