After realising our originally booked hotel had gone into liquidation upon arrival, we were lucky to have come across The Lilacs. The proprietor was extremely accommodating. Our one night stay in the self contained 'cottage' was very comfortable. Kitchen and lounge on the ground floor with bathroom and bedroom on the first floor almost made it feel like home away...

Very friendly service and full breakfast cooked to order was excellent. Room was quite small but had a massive new ensuite which wasn't expected. Wee bit out of the way but under £20 in a taxi to alton towers. Would stay here again!

We stayed for one night, in order to attend an event in Ashbourne. The position close to Ashbourne but in country was excellent. They have car parking available. Free wifi worked fine. Full English breakfast excellent. We had back room, probably better than other room which might have road noise. Room adequate size, but no room for chair. (This didn't... More

Stayed here on 27th October 2012 with my partner and another couple as we were going to Alton Towers. Cannot recommend this little bed and breakfast highly enough. Clean, cosy, warm and very welcoming. Breakfast was delicious, plenty on offer and is also included in the price per night which is very reasonable. Rooms supplied with chocolate biscuits, tea, coffe,... More

I stayed with my partner for 3 nights at the Lilacs whilst we travelled around the Peak District and visited Chatsworth House. The location is good but only if you have a car for travelling around the area. However, the Guest House and bedroom is immaculately clean with a very large ensuite bathroom (choice of bath or shower). Breakfast included... More

We chose this B&B because of it's affordable price: £55 night for one couple. We wanted a simple place to stay en route to Alton Towers but we got so much more than we had expected. The surroundings of the cottage are really pretty, very green with lots of beautiful flowers. My partner and I were greeted by a lovely... More

We stayed in the Cottage which was really clean, comfortable and has fantastic views of the countryside. Even though we stayed B&B it was well equiped for self catering with a small kitchen area. Our host was very friendly and welcoming and the breakfast was delicious. The B&B is on a main road but we didnt have any problems with... More

Me and my partner chose to stay at The Lilacs after reading good reviews on TripAdvisor. We were a little unsure of what to expect, as we had never stayed in a B+B before, but Tina, the proprietor, made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. We stayed here on our recent excursion to Alton Towers and stayed... More
