The Station Hotel

The Station Hotel sits down a quiet country lane beside the Tissington walking and cycling trail.

At this Ashbourne address, the stay works more like a small bed and breakfast than a full-service hotel. The building is the original part of the station master’s house, next to the former Thorpe Cloud Railway Station site, so the character of the place is tied closely to its railway setting rather than to a modern hotel block.

The rooms are double rooms upstairs with en-suite shower facilities. Room equipment includes a memory foam mattress, towels, flannels, toiletries, a hair dryer, an electric shaver point, free Wi-Fi, and a flat-screen smart TV. Guests also get their own front door key, which makes it easier to come and go without relying on a reception-style setup.

Breakfast is served in the building between 8:00 and 9:00am at a chosen time. The breakfast options include cereal, juice, coffee, tea, toast, a Full English breakfast, and lighter alternatives, with locally sourced produce and homemade bread included in the breakfast setup.

The practical side of the stay is strong for arriving by car or bicycle. There is free off-road parking, secure cycle storage, and use of the garden and guest patio. The dining room can also be used for takeaway meals, with crockery, cutlery, glasses, books, games, and maps available for guests.

One firm limit is that guests must be aged 14 or over, because the property only takes guests aged 14 and above.
