Newton House

For many years I've been using Newton House Hotel near Ashbourne as a location for our walking holidays. The hotel is perfectly located for walkers wanting to explore the White Peak area of the Derbyshire Peak District. Dovedale is easily reachable, and there are numerous small villages close by. Newton House provides all that is needed by walkers and travellers, be it comfortable beds, polite and professional staff, and in our case, hearty breakfast and filling evening meals after a day on the trail. Our latest visit was a group of 12 who all had single occupancy, and all appeared to be happy with their room's amenities. Ross, the manager has only recently taken over management of the hotel, but has already stamped his mark by adding improvements like better access to the A515. Currently the hotel are revamping their website, so don't be put off by not being able to view it.

Having booked directly with the hotel and spoken on the phone to Ross, he was very honest, explaining that the hotel was newly refurbished and recently re-opened. He informed us that there weren't many guests on the midweek dates we had booked and the restaurant was not yet serving evening meals. Regardless of this, we confirmed our booking and thank goodness we did. The hotel is beautifully refurbished. Ross was welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was delicious. The staff were really friendly. We went to a local pub for our evening meal and returned to the hotel to enjoy a relaxing drink in the bar at the end of the day. The location is perfect. It has direct access to the Tissington Trail and a few minutes drive to Dovedale and Ilam Park. Great value too.

Warm, friendly and genuine staff. Stunning location. Beautiful room. We were very well looked after and our pooches were split rotten too! The breakfast was incredible, our room was more than we could have asked for. Fantastic in every way!

Nice clean double room, comfortable bed with plenty of pillows & cushions. Lovely powerful shower, hairdryer & tea & coffee Making facilities. Breakfast was great. Good selection of cereals, croissants, toast. Great selection of speciality teas too. Only fault was occasional smell of sewer when the toilet was flushed. But the fan soon dispersed the smell. The staff are so helpful & friendly too.

Nice area near walking trail. Room was ok, a little dated but clean.Hosts very friendly and helpful and cooked full english breakfast to order.Next to a cow farm, ok if you are not averse to farming smells

Very nice polite staff, done me a late bite to eat as i was late for breakfast
