The best stay of almost three weeks of travel. Great location, food and hospitality.
Extraordinary building, grounds and breakfasts plus a room with a large bathtub to kill for. Good walking trails just out the front door. Perfect in every detail.

The hotel is in a lovely country setting. It looks beautiful from the outside like something from an Agatha Christie novel. But the rooms are very shabby and dated as our the sitting rooms which have a musty smell and old furniture. The breakfast is good and the wait staff very friendly, but the dinner was awful. Everything tasted like it came from the frozen food section of the supermarket. We ate there four nights as there are not that many dining options nearby.

Alstonfield is a great location from which to start local hikes to Dovedale and other local villages. It is also convenient for location a little further afield like Bakewell, Buxton, and Chatsworth, all about 30 min drive. Alstonfield has a lovely pub call the George, which is friendly and serves good beer. The church is interesting, and the village itself is small being set amongst farmland used for diary and sheep farming.

Such a quiet place, if you have never been be warned the roads are narrow and there is little to no mobile signal or internet.
Perfect for a technology de-tox break.
The local pub we went was inexpensive on beer but expensive poor food with a really long wait and very small portions.

Rural, quiet, peaceful, picture perfect, indeed so lovely I created several watercolors and ink sketches of the area together with photos to fully record and enjoy the stay. Views in every direction, great bird and wildlife opportunities. Absolute bliss!

We stayed at Milldale, a small hamlet, about 1 mile from Alstonefield, and easily walkable by talking the road in either direction from the cottage. Alstonefield is a small attractive village with a pub (The George). We did not make it to the pub, which is Michelin rated and for this trip we were quite content eating at home, in the cottage, or grabbing some lunch on our travels throughout the Peaks. If shopping was needed, then the best and nearest place to head for is Ashbourne, a town with supermarkets and some very nice independent shops.

The accommodation is in a really private and quiet area with a really pretty garden and lovely views across fields to the hills in the distance. Lots of wildlife to be seen and walks from the door down to milldale or to the village of Alstonefield itself which is a beautiful village. Also not far to drive to lovely village pubs too and can have drinks at the accommodation on your return.
Everything was perfect from start to finish.
We had a daog with us and the staff were so accommodating to the 'doggie' owners.... even a separate sausage served in a dish for them each morning!
Appreciating the trauma that hotels and the catering industry have gone through due to covid, this was perfect and way above our expectations..... well done guys!!
Fantastic welcome with tea/coffee and biscuits. The hotel itself is full of character with a country-house drawing room available for guests to use. Good quality breakfast with plenty of choice. Spacious accommodation with both bath and shower.
The staff were approachable, friendly and helpful. The hotel provided probably one of the best breakfast spreads I've had at a hotel. The room was basic but met all the needs, and the bed was very comfortable.
