Enjoyable and comfortable
We spent an enjoyable and comfortable nights stay at the Station Hotel. The bedroom was spacious and clean and we had a good nights sleep in the large four poster bed. In the morning we were served an excellent full English breakfast.

Hard to understand the many good reviews this has hotel. The photographs and reviews give the impression that it is old but very clean and well appointed but for the price we were very disappointed. I can see how people can describe it as comfortable but it feels old, tired and stale and would need a huge refurbishment and refresh to match the expectations set by the pictures, reviews and price. It is more of a comfortable, budget hotel. In the end we didn't even stay after checking in, as the friends we were visiting ended up having a spare room available in their holiday rental. The lady who greeted us was very polite and helpful.

That all seems a little harsh just because I asked you to ask your friends who were not staying in the hotel to move their car out of our courtyard!! I’m sure you are familiar with budget hotels clearly I am confused with your comments.

Short break
The Station Hotel is a lovely old hotel, with it's own parking. It is in a good position to visit the attractions in the area or for a short stroll into town for the shops, many eateries, wine bars & pubs. David the owner was very pleasant & helpful & the room was very nice, comfortably furnished in keeping with the building, clean & well serviced. The breakfast selection was good & the cooked breakfast excellent. We enjoyed our two night stay & although the hotel is on a junction & close to town, it was very peaceful & quiet & we all slept well. If you are looking for something away from the larger chains of hotels, you will not go far wrong with The Station Hotel.

Well positioned for both Ashbourne and visits to other areas within the Peak District. I find the hotel a really pleasant experience with David such an easy man to talk to and the additional benefit of being able to get a drink during the afternoon! Accommodation is clean and comfortable. Breakfast is well cooked and not heavy; plenty of fruit to choose from as well. All in all a very pleasant experience.

A Lovely place to stay
Old fashioned decor, but in perfect order, which suits the building. David, the owner is very friendly and chatty, giving lots of local information. The breakfast is excellent, didn't need lunch! Didn't see any four poster beds (as advertised on the website), but then again, I didn't see all the rooms. It looked like some rooms had been redecorated and brought more up to date; my room hadn't, but it was perfectly comfortable. I will definitely stay there again and probably bring some friends next time.
