Stayed for a night while visiting Alton Towers. Rooms are fine, and Tina made a delicious breakfast. She also made packed lunches for Alton Towers the next day which was great as the food there is very expensive and not great

Our room was well decorated, but was a bit fumey from recent paint that stuck with us for the night. It wasn't too much of a bother since we were only there for one evening. Our room had an ensuite and lovely furniture. The host was kind and offered quite the spread for breakfast. If you're looking for quaint and quiet this is the place for you!

The Lilacs is amazing. Close to the centre of Ashbourne and the host is amazing. Her breakfast was just what was needed in the morning, and she is super friendly. The shower is super powerful and the facilities were just what was needed. Stay here if you are looking for a nice relaxing visit. Highly recommended.
