"Satisfied, breakfast was perfect!"

The Pilsley Inn - Chatsworth

"Stopped in for a drink at this pub during a walk through the beautiful Peak District, expecting something a little more refined and inclusive, especially as it’s owned by Chatsworth House, which frankly should know better. Unfortunately, what we encountered was an appalling excuse for a menu—particularly if you’re vegetarian. It's 2025, not 1970. How on earth is there still no vegetarian Sunday roast option? How difficult is it to throw together some well-roasted seasonal veg and a Yorkshire pudding? Or how about a nut roast or a vegetable Wellington—options that are now standard in many pubs that actually bother to cater for more than just meat-eaters? Instead, we were offered the lazy, uninspired fallback that so many places cling to when they’ve given zero thought to vegetarians: risotto and oyster mushrooms. Bland, tasteless, and utterly unoriginal. It’s like they Googled “vegetarian dish” and picked the first thing that came up. No effort, no flavour, no excuse. Given the stature of the estate that owns this pub, the menu should reflect not just quality, but a sense of progress and inclusivity. Vegetarianism isn’t a niche lifestyle anymore—it’s mainstream, and to ignore that in 2025 is not just lazy, it’s disgraceful. It’s a total failure to keep up with the times. Vegetarianism isn’t a rarity—it’s a huge and growing demographic. To ignore that, especially at a high-profile, estate-owned venue, is nothing short of embarrassing. Your menu is eye-wateringly expensive, yet somehow manages to offer far less than other pubs in the area. Many nearby establishments provide broader, better-thought-out menus with excellent vegetarian and vegan options—and at a lower price. You might want to take a leaf out of the Cheshire Cheese pub in Hope, where they’ve gone the extra mile with a separate menu dedicated to vegans. That’s the level of care and consideration diners should be able to expect in 2025."

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."

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

"What a lovely Hotel to have stayed at! Our bedroom was fabulous and had just been refurnished in the April. The room was spacious and was nice to have been provided with robes and slippers. The staff were equally lovely. We didn’t eat breakfast at the hotel as it is situated by plenty of cafes around. I would definitely stay here next time I visit Bakewell!"

Rose Cottage

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."
