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, 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.

A comfortable sitting room with colour television is available for your relaxation. Breakfast is served in our well appointed dining room, with a patio door overlooking our pleasant garden.

Being in town we are only a few minutes walk from several good pubs and restaurants, and we are only to willing to provide any aditional information.

Like many other establishments these days, we have a no-smoking policy.

Parking is provided at the rear of the house within a fenced in garden.

Rooms are available from 3.30p.m. but if needed we are happy to make them available earlier. A deposit of £25.00 per room or a credit card number is requested on booking.

If you should require any further information or assistance please do not hesitate to contact either Jane or David and we will be only to happy to help.
