Our places in Ashbourne
Most of the stays in Ashbourne are small or mid-sized. Many are two-bedroom cabins for four, and there is a good number of one-bedroom lodges for couples. At the other end sit a handful of large houses for big groups, with the biggest sleeping 22. A typical night costs more than the cheapest cabins suggest, because the large and hot tub places pull the middle upwards. Check the group size first, since it sets the price more than anything else.
Large groups are the focus here: Somersal Cottages is a 4-star collection of holiday homes with 5 types of accommodation, the biggest sleeping up to 20 people.
A WiFi score of 10.0 from guests is the first thing that stands out about this 3-star holiday home, which holds an overall rating of 9.4/10 across 56 reviews.
A hot tub comes with this holiday home, along with a log burner and a garden. It sleeps 4 in 2 bedrooms: one has a double bed and the other has 2 single beds.
Ashbourne sits on the edge of the Peak District, and the lodges here suit groups as well as couples. Most places have a garden, and three in four have a hot tub, so a soak after a day on the Dove Valley paths is easy to arrange. Half accept dogs, which makes it a practical base for walkers travelling with a pet.
Prices cover a very wide range. The cheapest nights found are for small dog friendly cabins, while hot tub lodges for two are usually dearer, and a few with a log burner as well cost more still. Sleeping sizes run from couples to very large houses for 22. Most places sleep around six. Guest ratings are high, at about 9.4 out of 10, so the choice comes down to group size, budget and the features you want rather than to quality.
Our selections in Ashbourne
The dog friendly selection is the largest one here, covering about half of all places. It also holds the cheapest stays in town, mostly two-bedroom cabins for four. If you are travelling with a pet, start there. Some larger houses take pets on request rather than as a standard rule, so ask before you book. Dog friendly cabins are usually much cheaper per night than hot tub lodges for two.
A garden is almost universal, found at 30 of the 32 places. Hot tubs come next, at about three quarters, so you rarely need to pay extra to find one. Log burners are in nearly half. Places with a hot tub are usually dearer than those with only a garden, and log burner stays dearer again. A BBQ and fishing are also on offer at roughly a third of places. Saunas and pools are rare, with one of each, so book early if you want either.

By number of guests
Lodges for two are the most common size alongside those for three or four. Couples usually pay noticeably more per person than groups, since a small hot tub lodge costs a lot for two people. Cabins for four are much cheaper per head and give the best value in town. Places for five to nine cost more in total, but the cost per person falls again as the group grows. Splitting a bigger house between friends is the cheapest way to get a hot tub.
Nights are cheapest in November and January, when prices run lower than in the months either side. December costs more, as the festive weeks are popular. From February to April prices rise and stay high. Availability follows the same pattern. Autumn dates are the most booked, while spring has many more free dates. For a last-minute break, spring gives the widest choice, and January gives the lowest prices.

Around Ashbourne
Several nearby places are worth comparing. Newton and Derby have the lowest starting prices, and Newton also has plenty of places to choose from. Oakamoor starts higher, so its lodges tend to be dearer. Willington and Belper sit in between, and Longford is small with only six places. If Ashbourne dates are full or too dear, a short drive to one of these towns often widens your options.
The cheapest nights are usually for two-bedroom dog friendly cabins that sleep four. Small hot tub lodges for two are dearer. Winter months such as January also cost less than spring.
