  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.

  The house itself was spotless and the kitchen was well equipped.

  Good quality bedlinen and towels. Welcome pack was much appreciated. Very good WiFi and smart tv. We stayed 4 out of 5 days mainly due to the fact that I did not find the sofas or any of the beds comfortable - especially the creaky metal one. Also the traffic was loud as most of it was quarry lorries. My partner was fine but my back wasn’t. Also there was no mention of proximity to a HUGE quarry which never seemed to stop producing dust, noise or lorry traffic. The parking was really tight and we ended up with a wheel arch scrape trying to position the car in the small space and the lane was blocked further up all week by a builders van which meant a perilous reverse out onto a busy road. Also the back view is of untended rear gardens and rubbish which we weren’t expecting and was a bit disappointing. On the plus side the neighbours were friendly and there was a pleasant,safe dog walk over the road. I am glad we came but now knowing what the area is like we won’t return as there is too much industry and it is very busy.

  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 bathrooms and bedrooms were very clean.

  Sofa could have done with a hoover, fridge was definitely not as clean as it should have been. There was plenty of china but minimal cutlery and utensils. WiFi was shocking. Electric charging point great. Location to town was fantastic. Parking can be tricky if other people are staying and park inconviently otherwise good - marked bays might be helpful. Perhaps a mirror in the second bedroom. Already been mentioned but blinds needed downstairs on the patio door. Garden needs a little attention, astro turf didn't fit . Also cushions for furniture kept out all the time. Beds very comfy, Overall good location, comfy stay Henry the hoover might need some freshener in it as it was little smelly when used.

  We are so pleased to have found Derbyshire House and its ideal location overlooking the marketplace in Ashbourne.

  Though we hesitated a little over the price (we'd paid similar to stay in full service hotels in city centres) the flat we stayed in, Milldale, felt worth the compromise. It was immaculately clean and, clearly, recently furnished. We had everything we wanted for our stay, including a well equipped kitchen (Ashbourne is not great for eating out). The bed was comfortable and the area very quiet at night (despite overlooking a couple of pubs). We slept as well as we do at home. Finally, we were very grateful for the detailed instructions on finding the flat - including images of the exterior, full directions and even a video! Very thoughtful.
