Why The Machine Inn Is Ashbourne’s Hidden Gem for Food & Luxury Stays
Tucked away in the heart of Ashbourne, The Machine Inn has quietly been delighting those lucky enough to find it. With its warm welcome, beautifully crafted food, and boutique rooms that blend style with comfort, it’s no surprise our regulars often whisper: “It’s the best-kept secret in town.”
But all good secrets eventually get out and we’re more than ready to welcome new faces who are curious to see what the buzz is about.
A Restaurant That Feels Like a Treat (Without the Fuss)
At The Machine Inn, we believe great food should be both accessible and exceptional. Our chefs serve up modern British dishes made with seasonal, locally sourced ingredients and just the right amount of flair.
Expect bold flavours, clean presentation, and the kind of attention to detail that makes every bite memorable. Whether it’s a casual weekday lunch, a romantic dinner, or a family celebration, we keep things relaxed, friendly, and always delicious.
A Stylish Stay in the Heart of Derbyshire
Looking to turn your meal into a mini escape? Our boutique guest rooms and apartments offer laid-back luxury at its best. Think plush beds, calming tones, opulent mood lighting, and spa-style bathrooms complete with free-standing bathtubs.
It’s everything you need for a romantic night away or a midweek recharge right on the edge of the Derbyshire Peak District.
Locally Loved, Regionally Renowned
Locals love us because we feel like home - but better. Visitors discover us by chance, and usually leave wondering why more people don’t know about us (yet).
We’re proud to be independent, part of the Hopton Hall Estate family, and committed to offering something genuinely special in Ashbourne: an experience that’s stylish, welcoming, and always evolving.
Bottomless Lunch, Late-Night Drinks & More
From our Bottomless Lunch Fridays and Saturdays to late-night cocktails at the bar, there’s always something going on at The Machine Inn. Follow us on social media or join our email list to get early access to events, menus, and exclusive offers.
