A very pleasant stay, a comfortable room and nice breakfast. Very handy for the town but in a quiet part. Clean and well looked after with parking on site. I was made to feel welcome and the price was comparable to the local Travelodge with the added bonus of breakfast! Recommended.

More than 3 months after booking 2 rooms, I had an email with just under 3 weeks to go questioning whether I had cancelled. On confirming I had not, I was then told they had overbooked & were cancelling us. Whilst sympathetic to the bereavement offered as reason, there is clear evidence of normal functioning of this B&B this year... More

Friendly hosts and a nice comfortable B&B in a quiet part of town, but within walking distance of all local amenities. This was a good base for our walking weekend in Dovedale, and it comes recommended.

We got married in may and visited many of the b&b's around the area looking for accomodation for our guests. Thistle Bank was by far the best. Great big rooms all with en-suite. Cindy and John were so welcoming and the breakfast was fantastic. Two min walk into the center of town, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it!

This modern bed and breakfast is run by a very friendly and welcoming couple who go out of their way to help you, should you need any information or advice. We found our room spacious and it looked pristine. Our bed was seriously comfortable. Full English breakfast... More

A very friendly welcome from Cindy and John, perfect hosts. The rooms are modern, well equipped and very clean with everything you'll need. An excellent full breakfast sets you up for the day. Two minute walk from the centre of Ashbourne, a nice town which turns into a unique and AMAZING place on Shrove Tuesday/Ash Wednesday. Please google 'Ashbourne Shrovetide'... More
