Guests say
The Haven Lodge in Ashbourne is a well-received holiday rental, praised for its cleanliness, secure garden, and proximity to a local pub with good food. Guests appreciate the thoughtful welcome pack and find the property comfortable and dog-friendly. While some mention traffic noise and basic amenities, the overall sentiment is positive, with many planning to return.
Guests consistently describe the lodge as spotlessly clean, with several reviews highlighting the cleanliness as a standout feature. One review mentioned finding hair on the floor, but this seems to be an isolated incident.
The location is generally well-regarded due to its proximity to a local pub and dog walks. However, some guests noted the presence of a busy road and associated noise, which slightly impacted the overall location score.
Many guests found the lodge comfortable, mentioning a cozy atmosphere and comfortable bed. A few guests, however, reported discomfort with the sofas and bed, which affects the score.
While guests are pleased with the overall facilities, specific references to maintenance or the state of facilities are limited, making it difficult to provide a comprehensive score. The mention of a small shower and lack of shower door suggests some room for improvement.
The welcome pack is frequently mentioned and appreciated, indicating a high level of thoughtfulness. It should be noted that such gifts, while often provided, are a courtesy and not guaranteed for every stay.

Great location with pub and local shop within 1 minute walk.Clean, tidy and warm with a few added extras which made our stay most welcoming and enjoyable.Lots to do within a short drive. We enjoyed Dovedale National Park and Heights of Abraham.Ashbourne is also about a 30 minute walk.The Royal Oak pub was dog friendly and served excellent food for a reasonable price.
