    This is our second stay here and wow have the new owners given it a refurb! Lovely new carpets, furniture and a gorgeous breakfast. We will definitely be staying again. A beautiful location in a rural village close enough to Alton towers for us....

    The location is great and we really enjoyed going on a couple of walks in the area, for which the manager gave us a map for. The food was fabulous and we could hardly decide which breakfast to have since they all sounded tasty. Between us we tried...

    It was a cooked breakfast and I could get the items I wanted. I understand that they were newish owners and were updating. The bedroom was comfortable and had a country/farm atmosphere. The eating area is a pub with a rustic feel. The owners...

    The fact that it was Indian food served in a pub. Beautiful food. Felt very comfortable sitting alone. The staff made me feel welcome. Amy, my dog, enjoyed it, too. Lovely area for walking.

    The whole place is geared up for people with dogs. Perfect! The food was really good and nothing was too much trouble. All the staff were lovely. A dog bed was put by the table when we ate and there was a treat for the dog each time we came to...

The Okeover Arms is definitely the place to stay if you want a very warm welcome from staff and management, along with company in the bar with the locals and tourists alike. Our food is always a winner with great home cooked quality food, hearty meals and big portions to match the quality. We always offer the best. We have great local ales from micro-breweries to enjoy with your food, as well as a great wine list and roaring log fire at either end of the pub. Our rooms are spacious and well decorated, with stunning views. We are not the only eye catching thing about a visit to the Okeover Arms as we have great walks along the river which runs past the pub and to Dovedale and beyond. Set in the Peak district there are lots of walking areas and places to visit. We are close to places such as Chatsworth House and Carsington Water as well as a small drive to Alton Towers Theme Park. Without forgetting the Amazing Ashbourne Town Centre, with market days held on Thursday and Saturday, cobbled streets, shops, as well as being home to the Ashbourne Royal Shrovetide Football Game which is held in the early months of each year it truly is a spectacle not to be missed. The Okeover Arms is not just one of the best we believe it is the best!
The Bed and Breakfast is located in a rural area just a 2 mile drive or walk to Ashbourne town centre with local buses and taxis available 7 days a week.
