This hotel, set in and part of, the Chatsworth Estate deserves its five-star rating. From the moment you enter there is a sense of calm with the staff working with each other waiting to help. Nothing is too much trouble. Everything is taken care of. The location, amidst the Derbyshire hills and trees, brings its own beauty and peacefulness. Local walks start at the front door and extend across the estate, which includes Chatsworth House, well worth a visit. The ‘cosy’ rooms are spacious with the hotel benefiting from a recent extensive refurbishment. Everything works, which cannot be said of many hotels. The two restaurants, one for fine dining and the other its 8, or so, course “Signature” menu both benefit from the excellent chef and kitchen, which deservedly have a good reputation. Gluten free was managed very well. The only small issue, raised by many Trip Advisor reporters, is the delay in serving the courses at mealtimes. For us three courses in 2 ½ hours became more noticeable as the evening wore on. Name badges for all the staff would be a useful aid to communication. But we will most definitely return to enjoy the benefits of this small luxury hotel and its beautiful surroundings.
