Compton House
Ashbourne, Derbyshire

Compton House is situated in the charming historic market town of Ashborne, with the magnificent St. Oswalds Church dating from the 14th century, and it's fine Georgian architecture. We are a family run guest house with accent on good food and accommodation with a warm friendly atmosphere. Originally our home was three terraced cottages, which have been converted into one, rather individual house and has been our home since 1986. There are five bedrooms, all en-suite, with colour televisions, radio, hairdryer and direct dial telephones, plus a well stocked tea and coffee tray. All rooms have double beds, and the two larger rooms also have a single bed, so can be used as twin or family rooms. Two rooms can be let as single rooms if required. One of the double rooms is on the ground floor overlooking the garden.

Ashbourne is situated in the middle of England - the Midlands, in the county of Derbyshire, at the southerly end of the Pennine chain - the mountainous backbone of England. Derbyshire is popular with tourists and locals alike for its great beauty - from the ruggedness of the Peak District in the north to the more gentle hills in the south of the county. Ashbourne itself is a charming, picturesque - predominantly Georgian - market town nestling in the gently sloping Henmore valley. It is surrounded by a wide rural area, beautiful scenery and picturesque villages. The nearest city is Derby, 15 miles to the south-east, but a number of small and not so small towns are well within 30 - 40 minutes drive, such as Matlock, Buxton, Leek and Bakewell. A little further afield are the cities of Nottingham, Sheffield, Manchester and Birmingham.
