"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.
Hello Chris!
Thank you so much for a lovely review. Looking forward welcoming you back to Milldale shortly!
Best wishes,
Jane Property Owner

"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.
Hi Karl,
Many thanks for the great review. It is much appreciated.
Best wishes, Jane. Property Owner

Didn’t know how to use the power shower could only use small head until my daughter came to visit on Mother’s Day and showed me how to use it

"The property was excellent, everything as new."
It was clean, well equipped and in a great location, with shops and restaurants nearby - within walking distance.
Having a parking space at the property was also a bonus.
The property was close to local attractions and the Dales.
We would definitely stay here again if we were in the area.
Thank you Malcolm for a lovely review! We look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner

"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 flat is lovely, bigger than I thought from the photographs."
We loved the view from the front onto the market place, disappointed that there hasn't been a market here for 8 years despite what the local tourist information says. As the bedroom is at the back it is so quiet, you don't hear the other occupants either.
The place is spotless and has everything you need for your stay. Very comfy bed and great shower.
Jane rang us to check all was well the night before our holiday and was so friendly and helpful.
Highly recommend staying here.
The area is beautiful, Ashbourne is a lovely town.

"A very nice flat, well kept and presented."
The accommodation had everything we needed and we were kept update by the owners. Main room/kitchen overlooks the main road past the market square. Traffic noise was not an issue at any point in the stay. We had an excellent stay. Parking at rear was easy to find, there is even a video to show how to find it. We did have a food shop order where they could not locate the flat but it was easy enough to walk to the square and point them back to the flat. Very good location with plenty on the doorstep. Very nice to have a welcome bottle of wine and chocolates, very nice start to our break.

"Milldale is perfectly placed for a holiday stay that has all conveniences nearby but is also quiet and restful."
Handy location to set out from for attractions of the area. The flat was spotlessly clean and comfortable.
It also had, and in fact is always our priority, parking for one car per flat.
The whole process of booking was so smooth and all detail clear and explained.
Thank you, we had a great week.
