Liked: We thoroughly enjoyed our brief stay at this welcoming hotel, which offers stunning views of the Derbyshire countryside.We were very pleased with our excellent, quiet room—thank you for the upgrade! —as well as the tasteful interior decor, the delicious dinner on the terrace, the superb cooked breakfast, and the consistently professional service.We’d love to return one day for another memorable visit—and hopefully walk all the way to Chatsworth...

The Cavendish never fails to...

Liked: The Cavendish never fails to delight! The view is breathtaking and a short walk across that beautiful view and you are at Chatsworth House, couldn't be easier. Also the Chatsworth Farm Shop only a 5 minute drive away, such lovely things to buy and access to all. The building/place has character (clearly once and old Coaching Inn), rooms are comfortable and well appointed. Food is delicious, breakfast to die for, service excellent. Reception and front of house staff always eager to help and please, indeed having enquired about a particular painting hanging opposite reception, I was swiftly provided with details of the painting and the artists website. Lovely thoughtful touches, loved staying here, thoroughly recommend it.
Disliked: Nothing frankly

Not worthy of awards

Liked: It was really pretty and was decorated nicely
Disliked: The service in the restaurant and on the terrace was EXTREMELY slow. Every drink I had, I had to request to be served. The tables were rarely cleared either and weren’t wiped down. I sat on the terrace and they didn’t come to wipe the table and it was covered in food. It just didn’t feel like anyone was welcome there and we were an inconvenience wanting to be served.Even during the wedding event, I had to ask to be served for every drink I had and even when I had served, it was taking up to 20 mins to get my drink.One lady on reception was ultra friendly when I checked in but others on reception were really cold and quite blunt/rude.For an “award winning hotel”, it was really disappointing.
