Good Hotel Guide Review

‘A wonderful place for a stay in the Peak District’, the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire’s Derbyshire hotel offers a taste of country house living a stroll from their magnificent Elizabethan pile. Views across the Chatsworth Estate commend some standard bedrooms. Larger rooms have pieces of the fine art and antiques that are dispersed throughout the property, perhaps a four-poster. Rooms in the coach house have smart bathrooms with bath and walk-in shower. All have fresh milk in a mini-fridge, Chatsworth biscuits, luxury toiletries. A reader this year was disappointed that the duplex Redesdale Suite had no estate view, and found road noise was a problem through an open window. Others were more enthused by their choice. ‘Our room was fabulously comfortable, very tastefully furnished, with  lovely country views.’ In the Gallery restaurant, menus include dishes such as Derbyshire beef fillet, cheek, truffle gnocchi, nasturtium, onion,  or vegetarian options. On a day when only fish and chips will do, eat more casually and cheaply  in the Garden Room. ‘Staff VERY well trained, nothing too much trouble … Expensive but  worth every penny.’

Comments about The Cavendish

We so appreciated the deep pile and warmth on a winter's day with snow several inches thick outside. Our rooms were wonderfully cosy with fabulous views over the Chatsworth Estate. The position of the hotel is beyond perfect - on the estate which is enormous and beautiful as well as being in the foothills of some with extraordinary hiking and walking in the hills of the Peak District. - MS - December 2020

Expensive but worth every penny. Our room was fabulously comfortable, tastefully furnished. Outstanding breakfast - open till noon. No hopping up and down to a buffet, everything served at the table; butter in little dishes, real bread toast brought to the table in a rack. Lovely dinner menu; popular locally for special celebrations; we can understand why. What stood out though were the staff, VERY well trained, watchful without being intrusive y. A wonderful place for a few days in the Peak District. - Abigail Kirby-Harris - June 2019

A lovely relaxing stay in splendid surroundings. Staff very friendly and helpful. Very good dinner in Garden Room. Wonderful breakfast. - Jill & Mike Bennett - June 2019

We had a delightful room, and throughout our stay the staff were attentive. There was a delightful personal touch, in that they had learned that our stay was to mark our Golden Wedding, and it was perhaps for that reason we were upgraded from a Standard room, and there was also a card of congratulations, and a small bag of Chatsworth chocolates to add to our celebrations. From the window we had a view over parts of the Chatsworth estate, and one could walk to the house by a footpath from the hotel grounds. The food was beautifully prepared and imaginatively presented, often in a fashionably deconstructed style, but not to the point of pretentiousness. - Robert and Joan Grimley - May 2019

Comfortable, pretty and very English. A perfect base from which to explore Chatsworth. We were give a warm welcome. The rooms could almost be guest rooms in a private house. We had a lovely brass bed in ours, and a wonderful view beyond the old apple tree laden with fruit, to the fields beyond. The baths were modern and efficient; bathrobes were large enough for my very tall husband and the towels were huge. We loved it. - Catrin Treadwell - October 2018
