This family run historic Georgian hotel is set in two acres of Derbyshire hillside, and the majority of our rooms have beautiful views over the Derwent Valley, providing a peaceful environment in which to relax and unwind. The main A6 is only a short distance below, and follows the river through the "Little Switzerland" scenery of limestone cliffs and steep wooded slopes. The hotel dates back to the 1780's and will have had numerous distinguished people cross its threshold, including Lord Byron, who was so moved by his visit to Matlock Bath that he was inspired to etch a poem on the dining room window. Queen Victoria visited when still a young princess and signed the same pane.

Our Chatsworth Bar has gained several CAMRA accolades for the quality of the real ale, including Matlock and Dales Pub of the Year 2009.

Room prices start at £40 per person per night.
