The Rutland Arms Hotel, Bakewell, Derbyshire ★★★★

"I was really looking forward to this hotel before checking in. I knew about it because it was featured in Lonely Planet UK, and it's said that Jane Austen stayed here. The hotel staff were very polite, and I felt the hotel upgraded our room. When we opened the door, classical music was playing on the radio, creating a very comfortable atmosphere. The hotel's decor and furnishings were tasteful and had a vintage feel, but it was also very clean. We had a very pleasant two days here, adding wonderful memories to our trip. The hotel breakfast is à la carte, and we tried different breakfasts each day, but they were all quite salty. I suggest they improve that. Of course, if you don't order à la carte, the buffet area also offers basic breakfast items like bread and milk. The breakfast area itself is also very nice. If you're planning to visit Chatsworth House, staying here is an excellent choice!"

The Pilsley Inn - Chatsworth ★★★★

"This is a charming inn that perfectly blends old world charm with modern appointments. Gorgeous room with four poster bed, sitting area and amazing bathroom with a soaking tub and rain head shower. Clean and beautifully decorated. Even includes some books to read. Rooms has actual keys and steep stairs but accessible first floor rooms are available. Power adapters (for non UK) a must as no USB charging in room. Lovely restaurant and pub with great food and drink selection. Highly recommend for a quiet getaway. Very close to Chatsworth House."

The Devonshire Arms ★★★

"Being in a peak area, this standard is quite satisfactory. The only discomfort is that there is no elevator, the stairs are relatively narrow, and it is troublesome to get up and down large luggage. Breakfast is made a la carte, the taste is much better than some buffet breakfasts, and the service staff are also more enthusiastic."

The H Boutique Hotel ★★★

"From start to finish this hotel was perfect. Was greeted nicely and left my case until room was ready. I sat outside and had a drink and snack. My room was excellent and I booked another two nights as I loved it so much. The staff were lovely and couldn't do enough for you. Rupert, Leanne, Reece. Yvonne and all the others I forgot the names of. The hotel was spotless, lovely bedding and decor. I was visiting on my own as my husband passed away nearly a year ago. Bakewell was one of the places we visited quite often. I was never once made to feel like I was on my own, as the staff always interacted with me. Thank you once again for a lovely stay and I will be back x"

Sheldon Shepherd's Hut - Cosy Rural Retreat in the Peak District National Park ★★★

Lathkil Hotel ★★★★

"An old country house with unparalleled views, warm service, and delicious breakfast. Friends who drive to Darcy Manor may consider this place. Parking is free, and there are restaurants in nearby villages for dinner."

Castle Inn by Greene King Inns ★★★

"Friendly staff, decent food in the pub, well cooked and reasonably priced. We stayed for one night in the Hathersage room, this room opens directly onto the outside seating area, this is adjacent to the pavement and busy roadway. Room was ok, bed comfortable, bathroom clean with good shower, stone floor, no rug so cold walking around. It’s worth noting that there is a lot of noise from passing traffic, which did quieten down through the night but started picking up again around 5.30 a.m. Also I imagine in summer the pub patrons using the outside tables could be a disturbance if you wanted an early night."
