The room was really nice and clean, comes with Wi-Fi and a mini fridge as well as a hot tub on the balcony with plenty of privacy. We were able to go on a few trails as close as 10mins away to explore the Peak District. Lots of fun hikes to do for different abilities. The steakhouse next door was amazing, the chef of 10/10 and make delicious food!! They offer room service but only serve food until 9 unfortunately. The ladies in the pub were able to offer suggestions of local takeaways from the high street so it was super helpful. Would 1000% stay here again and definitely recommend it!!!"

Be flexible with dates: Prices may differ depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and time of year, so remaining flexible with your dates could help you save on your stay at Ashbourne Hotel. For those seeking distinctive experiences, boutique hotels might provide a more personalised experience and potentially better value. When booking with Hotels.com, we inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average, and if it appears higher, we might suggest more affordable dates to help you find a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Staying nearer to key attractions or city centres may provide convenience, but it often comes with elevated costs. For more budget-friendly options, consider hotels in less central areas or neighbourhoods, balancing price with accessibility to the places you wish to visit. You might also look into independent hotels located a bit further out, which can offer a more authentic and usually more affordable experience.
