The Cavendish Hotel, in the pretty yet bustling village of Baslow, was originally the famous Peacock Inn, owned by the Duke of Rutland, although it is uncertain exactly how old it is. The hotel became part of the Duke of Devonshire's estate around 1830 and in the early 1970s was restored and restyled as the Cavendish Hotel.
The Duchess of Devonshire oversees the design of the interiors which combine contemporary design and comfort with historical features. There are over 300 original drawings, paintings, pieces of fine art and modern graffiti from the Devonshire Collection.
There are two restaurants - the Gallery Restaurant, which has continuously held 2 AA rosettes since 2006, and the light and airy Garden Room. The Kitchen Table provides diners with a thrilling dining experience in the heart of the kitchen – a table for four where diners will enjoy a bespoke menu and can see for themselves what truly takes place whilst soaking up the atmosphere of a busy night's service.
There are 23 bedrooms and one suite – each with its individual theme and design including original art. Recent refurbishments include redesigned rooms in the main house by Rachel McLane in conjunction with the Duchess of Devonshire.
All rooms and both restaurants offer views out over the countryside.
There is also a private room for luncheons, dinner parties and meetings.
Outside the gardens are predominantly lawns leading out towards the parkland - the centrepiece is a contemporary sculpture. There is an extensive south facing terrace with seating.
The hotel's location is ideal for sight-seeing and exploring. As the closest hotel to the House and Garden at Chatsworth, it is just a 20 minutes' walk across the fields and park. The Derbyshire Dales with all their attractions are right on the doorstep.
The Cavendish is available for exclusive use and as a venue for special celebrations.
The General Manager since 2001 is Philip Joseph.
The Head Chef since 2011 is Mike Thompson.
