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.

Dine in the sumptuous surrounds of the Gallery Restaurant, or in the heart of its award-winning kitchen.
