Rooms

All the Cavendish standard bedrooms overlook Chatsworth Estate in the Peak District and are luxuriously appointed with twin or double beds. The superior rooms are generally larger rooms which occupy the original Peacock Inn (with the exception of two) and include four poster, brass or king size beds, luxury bathrooms, fine art and antique furniture. Many feature original iron fireplaces.

Hotel details

Originally the famous Peacock Inn, the building was the property of the Duke of Rutland and served the turnpike between industrial Chesterfield and the spa town of Buxton. It became the Duke of Devonshire's property around 1830 and in the early 1970s was rebuilt as the Cavendish by Chatsworth Estate. The original character was preserved and the Duchess of Devonshire selected the decor and furnishings, some of which came from Chatsworth House itself.

Food & Beverages

In the Gallery Restaurant, imaginative food is created from fresh ingredients and is served in relaxed and sumptuous surroundings. The dishes are exciting and stylishly presented, and the restaurant features some interesting fine art and a view of Chatsworth. The à la carte menu emphasises the use of fresh ingredients, many locally sourced, but with an unexpected twist here and there. The wine list offers about 70 different wines, ranging from classics to exciting New World wines. There is an extensive half-bottle selection and many wines are offered by the glass.
