Stables Ashbourne
An Ashbourne stay with a hot tub and balcony
About this hotel
Stables Ashbourne offers air-conditioned rooms with private bathrooms, garden views and modern amenities, each including a work desk, free toiletries and a flat-screen TV, seventeen kilometres from Alton Towers. The traditional restaurant serves British cuisine, and guests can relax at the bar or sit out on the sun terrace after a day spent at the waterpark, with free WiFi covering the property throughout. Guest favourites specifically include the hot tub and balcony rooms, along with consistently praised, attentive staff, features that set this property apart from a standard village inn. Free on-site private parking is provided, and Chatsworth House and Trentham Gardens both sit within easy reach for a second day exploring beyond Ashbourne itself. That combination of comfort and location within Ashbourne itself is what regularly earns this property some of its strongest reviews.

Our take
Stables Ashbourne suits families or couples who want a hot tub and balcony room as part of a Staffordshire trip, a genuine step up from the standard countryside inn amenities found elsewhere. Its position in Ashbourne itself makes it a practical, walkable base for the market town alongside the seventeen-kilometre drive to Alton Towers. Families on a tighter budget may find the standard countryside inns elsewhere in this guide a more economical alternative.
- ✓Book a balcony room with the hot tub specifically if those features are the reason you are choosing this property.
- ✓Use the sun terrace for a relaxed evening after a day at the waterpark rather than staying indoors.
- ✓Walk into Ashbourne's own shops and cafes on a rest day, since the hotel sits within the town itself.

Why guests love itGuests booking Stables Ashbourne frequently highlight the hot tub and balcony rooms as standout features rarely found at other properties in this guide, a genuine step up for a special-occasion element to an Alton Towers trip. The sun terrace gets used most evenings for winding down after a day at the waterpark. The Ashbourne town-centre location also draws praise for making it easy to walk to shops and cafes without needing the car again once parked for the evening.
