Ashford Inn

  • Inn Details

    The Ashford Inn is named for Col. John Ashford, who fought on the front lines at Gettysburg and Fredericksburg during the war between the states. Col. Ashford turned in his regiment to Gen. Grant at Appamattox and returned home to Clinton shortly afterwards. The Col. and his wife raised their family in this lovely home and were responsible for many of the renovations to the house that exist today. The Ashford Inn has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places by the Dept. of the Interior as part of the College Historical Project and was featured in the April 1997 issue of Colonial Homes Magazine. We offer five guest rooms with private baths. The Ashford Inn offers dinners with advance notice. We also have full liquor license and bar on premises. The inn has high speed wireless internet.

    I stayed one night while in Clinton on business. The home is beautiful, the proprietor is friendly and helpful, and breakfast was elegant and delicious.

    My girlfriend and I really enjoyed staying here. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The price to stay here is almost the same as staying at one of the hotels in town, so I wouldn't see a reason to not stay here


    Spend two relaxing nights in mid-October 2011

    We found the website online, and the pictures do a nice job of showing what Mason and Patty have at the Ashford Inn. Very nice folks, and it was easy to meet and talk with other guests at the Inn. Crimson Room was very comfortable. Only one room on main floor, so reserve early if that is important to you. We will be back!

    Five former flight attendants met at the Inn and had such a fun time. The innkeepers did everything they could to make the evening (June 9) exceptional. We had a fantastic time talking, laughing, and remembering our days of flying. The rooms were extremely comfortable, and the breakfast meal was delicious. Would love to go to the Inn again.

    My Wife and I got married in the beautiful backyard of the Ashford Inn in early June. I have always been skeptical about outdoor weddings so close to the summer because of the thunderstorms, but mostly because I didn't want to be in the smoldering heat wearing a suit. On our wedding day I think the temperature was in the low 90's and very humid, but the backyard at the inn is so private and shaded that the heat was never an issue. Patty and Mason are so professional and extremely organized, but at the same time they make you feel right at home and like you are apart of their family. After the wedding we stayed the night in the crimson room at the inn and it felt like our home away from home. A huge Thanks to Patty and Mason for making our wedding day extremely special!! We could not have asked for a more pleasant experience or better service.....You guys are amazing!!!! When you do stay at the Ashford Inn, be prepared for for mouth watering, delicious food. Patty is an outstanding cook and her meals will amaze you!! Her "Texas French Toast" is the absolute best meal I have ever had for breakfast (No exaggeration whatsoever)!!!! Thanks Again to Patty and Mason for everything!!!!!
