The Devonshire Arms at Pilsley

This pub is cosy and quaint, featuring traditional pub food and a variety of local ales. Its accommodation, however, really sets it apart. The interiors are designed by the Duchess of Devonshire and feature individually-designed rooms that showcase a variety of antiques and great bathrooms. It is located at the heart of the Chatsworth Estate and it’s in the perfect place for those who want to step out the front door and go for a walk.

The Lamb Inn

Nestled in the heart of the Peak District, The Lamb Inn is an intimate and historic choice. Its pub and restaurant offer roaring fires and food that will leave you stuffed with satisfaction. Recently refurbished with contemporary bathrooms and decadently-comfortable beds, this is the perfect place to stay for getting lost in the countryside and boasts miles of off-road tracks for cyclists.

Peacock at Rowsley

Originally opened in 1820, this manor is the perfect place for rest and relaxation. If you want to get away from everything, then a few days in the stunning grounds on offer here will give you exactly that. Afternoon tea on arrival and camomile tea before bed helps to take the edge off.
