Chatsworth House Hotels ()

Set amongst the rolling hills of the Peak District, the Cavendish Hotel is a short walk from Chatsworth House, one of Britain's favourite country homes. As part of the Duke of Devonshire's family estate, much of the decor and furnishings in the hotel come from Chatsworth. Luxuriously appointed, the historic Inn Rooms feature fine art and antique furniture, some with original iron fireplaces and four poster beds. Dine in the sumptuous surrounds of the Gallery Restaurant, or in the heart of its award-winning kitchen. Freshly baked scones topped with delicious homemade jams can be enjoyed in the Garden Room and, waking up rested in the Derbyshire Dales, guests can take breakfast at their leisure, served daily until noon. A warm welcome awaits. There is free Wi-Fi and ample free on-site parking.
