Ashbys is absolutely amazing in every respect. Our room was beautifully decorated, immacualtely clean, and we have never slept in such a comfortable bed away from home! The facilities at the hotel are superb, and the location is perfect, with a huge choice of bars and restaurants on your doorstep. Steve and Mubi were incredible hosts and nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely return in the future and would not hesitate to recommend Ashbys to all.
