Reviews
Character and identity
A 28-room coaching inn on the edge of the Chatsworth Estate, owned by the Devonshire family and recently reimagined by Nicola Harding alongside Laura Burlington. The look is chic country farmhouse: block-printed wallpapers, corduroy armchairs in coral pink, emerald felt-upholstered doors, and serious art from the family collection (Phyllida Barlow, Elizabeth Frink, Lisa Brice) hung throughout. Two restaurants under Adam Harper deliver three-rosette cooking with a strict 10-mile sourcing radius: The Gallery for tasting menus, the lighter Garden Room for brunch and Sunday roasts. Service is warm and unstuffy, led by manager Steve Daly.
Who's it for
Best for:
Couples and design-literate travellers planning a Peak District mini-break who want polished interiors, ambitious British cooking, and a half-hour walk through parkland to Chatsworth House. Walkers, fly fishers, and art lovers all find their reasons here. Families work too, with interconnecting rooms on request and Chatsworth's farmyard and playground next door.
Should look elsewhere:
Anyone wanting a hushed, deep-country retreat should note the A619 runs past the front (though the rooms are well buffered). Travellers chasing a destination spa, a swimming pool, or contemporary urban energy will find this too rural and too traditional in register.
Bottom line
The draw is the combination: a properly considered design refresh, genuinely excellent cooking from estate and 10-mile produce, and Chatsworth on the doorstep. Book a room at the back for Peak District views through sash windows. Walkers should plan around the parkland path to Chatsworth; foodies should secure a Gallery tasting menu booking when reserving the room.
