My husband and I have just returned from an amazing two night stay here and it was worth every penny. We can only repeat what other people have said – the house was beautiful, the food delicious and the service faultless. James has obviously spent a lot of time and effort getting everything just right and we really appreciated his... More

The title sums up our stay at the Ashton! We could not fault it. James is the perfect host. We could not understand how he managed to do everything so well all of the time and appear so relaxed throughout! The welcome was lovely, our bags were taken from the car and we were sat down with coffee and biscuits... More

After a long journey we were met by James offering us a glass of wine. Much appreciated. The hotel was fine, the rooms were fine and the food was fine. Excellent? Not quite. Would I recommend it? Yes. I have stayed in similar hotels in London and had better service..The Fox Club..in Mayfair for instance. After all the hype I... More

Really lovely, relaxing stay. We would definitely book to stay here again, we are just looking for an excuse to go back to Lancaster! More

It is definately on power with the Sofitel hotel I stayed in, while in Rome in January. James is... More

The whole hotel is beautifully decorated, and the guest rooms and the bathrooms are amazing. There are lots of nice little touches that all contribute to the feeling that this is a... More

Many details combined to make this a perfect overnight stay on our way from Kent to Scotland. We appreciated them all, from proper cafetiere coffee with fresh milk - bliss - to an indulgent bathroom and Dolly Mixtures on the dressing table. The welcoming plum vodka was a lovely touch on a cold day and much enjoyed. Breakfast was everything... More

Had been trying to stay here for ages but always booked - and now I know why. Finally we got lucky and had two delicious relaxing days here. It was just before Christmas and were welcomed by the ducks first and then Chris with mulled wine and christmas pies. The room was huge, wonderful comfortable bed and a massive sexy... More
