The Ashford Arms – Ashford-in-the-Water

Nestled in one of the Peak District’s most photographed villages, The Ashford Arms blends heritage charm with contemporary elegance. Following a full refurbishment, the interiors now feature soft lighting, plush seating, and tasteful nods to the building’s 17th-century roots. The menu is seasonal and locally sourced, offering refined takes on pub classics—think Derbyshire lamb, fresh trout, and indulgent desserts.

Guests can enjoy drinks in the stylish bar or dine al fresco in the garden overlooking the village church. Just steps from the famous Sheepwash Bridge and the River Wye, it’s an ideal spot for a scenic walk followed by a relaxed, high-quality meal.
