  Milldale in Ashbourne is the best self catering property we have stayed at.

  The accommodation was super clean and really well decorated throughout, and in pristine condition, very comfortable. The kitchen and bathroom had all the latest fittings and equipment and was like new, underfloor heating in both! Really efficient heating from a combined aircon / heater unit, together with a couple of separate oil filled rads if it got very cold. Everything worked, the knifes were sharp, and no curtains hanging by a one hook which you find in many places you stay…..Faultless. You enjoy your own parking space immediately next to the entrance door so never a panic if there is going to be a space. Communication with Jane the owner was excellent throughout and she was quick to reply and helpful with any queries I had. Location is right in the town centre overlooking the market square, there are loads of restaurants, pubs, coffee shops to suit every pocket all within just a few minutes walking distance. I cannot praise the accommodation highly enough and will certainly give it 10/10…..I would definitely like to revisit in one of the warmer months.

  Although the apartment looked nice, we were extremely disappointed in some aspects.

  First upon entering, it was freezing as no heating was on, it took most of the evening to get to a decent temperature. While unpacking we found a dirty towel stuffed in a bedside draw, and had to wash most kitchen items before use. The extractor fan didn’t work efficiently so cooking was extremely difficult as the kitchen would fill with either steam or smoking and we risked setting the fire alarm off. The biggest disappointment was noise. The windows despite being double glazed provided no protection from sound at all. While trying to watch tv, the sound of traffic drowned out the volume and made it impossible, if being considerate to our neighbours to watch anything. The amount of traffic going through the town at night was enormous. Consequently sleep was broken every night with the sound of deliveries being drag around on trollies, Lorrie’s bumping along the bad roads, conversations of people walking in the street etc. it was an absolute nightmare. I would not stay in this cottage again!

  What can I say about Milldale?

  It's difficult to find enough superlatives. The apartment was immaculate, spotlessly clean, very well equipped, furnished to a very high standard (everything seemed brand new) and incredibly comfortable. It overlooks the main square in Ashbourne and we spent many happy hours people watching. The pleasure of having our own guaranteed parking space cannot be overstated. We rarely needed to use the car because shops and cafes were within walking distance. The owner supplied detailed instructions and even a video to ensure we easily found the property. Guests need to be aware that the apartment, accessed via private entrance, is on the first floor. The stairs are quite steep so heavy luggage is a challenge. However, that should certainly not put anyone off. It's just something to be aware of. We are intending to book again for September.

  The apartment is very nice and well decorated, and has a great central location to explore Ashbourne and the surrounding areas.

  Unfortunately this also has a major drawback as the noise from the busy road outside is horrendous. We could hear every motorbike and car go pass, and then with some of the larger lorries that go pass very regularly, the noise reverberates and you can literally feel it! There are further issues with the noise and especially late night deliveries to the local businesses, we do understand the requirements and logistics of this with it being a busy one way system but the deliveries between 2-3am were hard to take. We ended up investing in ear plugs from the local boots store to try and get a decent night's sleep. It is a shame that this is the case, as the apartment is lovely, and decorated well as mentioned We also loved Ashbourne and would love to visit again but it would not be at this property.

  Can only echo other reviews.

  The apartment was well laid out and equipped (In fact they undersold it slightly by omitting to mention there was a washing machine). However, the stay was spoilt by the incredible amount of noise from the road below. It seemed like everything and anything went past the window as it was the main route through the town. The double glazing was ineffective due to the windows being ‘sash’ (probably due to planning issues) but we could only wonder why greater attempts weren’t made to remedy this with some form of secondary glazing / sound insulation as part of the refurbishment programme. We resorted to ear plugs to ease things slightly and managed to enjoy the stay in spite of the issue but could not, in all honesty, recommend the property over others due to the noise issues.
