Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“We had such a fab break away at The Ashleigh. The room was clean and spacious and everything had been thought of to cater for all of our needs (including treats for our little paws!). I’d been really anxious about taking our pup away with us but we were made to feel so welcome and my mind was very quickly put to rest. We also really appreciated the various guides and local knowledge. We’re already looking forward to getting another date in the diary for a return visit! Thank you again!”
“Great value and brilliant, friendly service. The personalised water bowl for our dog was a nice touch too. Cooked breakfast was lovely, and the location was super convenient for us, we also enjoyed free parking.”
“We stayed at Ashleigh with our family and dog for a last-minute seaside getaway, and the only way I can describe this hotel is amazing. It’s a lovely, spotless, and dog-friendly place. The owner, Lucy, is such a wonderful person - it was a pleasure to meet her and her dogs. Breakfast was very good, and we all enjoyed it - there was something for everyone. I would definitely come back and highly recommend Ashleigh to everyone I know.”
“We had a lovely welcome from Lucy the proprietor on Saturday afternoon. Easy to find and off road parking.lovely ground floor room and so very dog friendly. Blown away by the doggy gifts..a fold up bowl with my dogs name on was very touching..a rope toy. Poo bags and doggy treats. There was a nice selection of doggy goodies for sale too. Raincoats in the foyer if weather was bad with towels readily available for your pooch. This was a sad trip as it was our beloved dog's last trip away with us both. He has sadly now passed.”
