The Rutland Arms Hotel, Bakewell, Derbyshire

"Very nice old hotel Worth staying"

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."

The Devonshire Arms

"Excellent friendly staff . Good value"

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 H Boutique Hotel

"What a fabulous little hotel this is. Perfect position in Bakewell, with a lovely bar/restaurant and cheese and wine bar downstairs. The rooms were beautifully clean and comfortable and even had a little balcony. Highly recommended."

Robin Hood Farm B&B

"Very good, breakfast in the room"

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."
