The Peacock at Rowsley

What helps create a perfect stay? A warm welcome from courteous staff that continues throughout your stay, Superb customer service. Breakfast was excellent, as it as a Monday stay we ate at The Ashford Arms ( great food and service there too). The Room number 3, suite with four poster, had a comforting feel, as though you were part of history. Will visit again and sample the dinner menu. Blossoms lovely too!

The staff was professional, friendly and accommodating. The room was beautiful and spacious. The bed was so comfortable it was difficult to leave it. Oh, and the grounds and garden are gorgeous—-right on a river with great views of stone bridges. Five stars all around!

A fantastic hotel in Rowsley with really brilliant team of staff who are so friendly, and professional especially as I had to change my booking due to circumstances. Hilary dealt with the situation perfectly. You felt important as a guest and we used the Peacock as a base for a Fly Fishing Course, led by Steve, which was a truly brilliant day. Five minutes from Bakewell and a range of shopping outlets. Food was exceptional, though no longer able to eat in the bar. We will be returning!

Had a wonderful lunch here at the weekend. The food, service and ambience couldn't be faulted, every single member of staff made us feel so welcome we almost felt as though they had invited us into their home! Can't remember everyones name but Lucas springs to mind, thanks Lucas and the Ops Director, so very friendly and just amazing service and thank you chef, the food was spot on!! oh ... and the gift of doughnuts, as a doughnut fan they are the best!! Not impressed with the lounge decor though, thought it looked much classier and expensive before the renovation ... sorry!

Car park next to the hotel is free for visitors. One spot for electric charging, an overnight charge is £25. Staff very helpful. Good sized room, very clean. Big comfy bed. Big smart tv, not logged into anything though, you need to log 8n on your own account to use Netflix etc. small box of chocolates was a nice touch. Breakfast was in a lovely bright room and was delicious. Cosy bar and library rooms to visit. Nice and quiet. All in all, a little pricey, but a lovely hotel and we very much enjoyed our stay.

Nice warm welcome as we were shown to a lovely traditional yet modern room. Enjoyed an afternoon lager in the garden with polite table service. When we came down later for pre-dinner drinks we went to the bar area, sampled the wine and took the bottle out into the very relaxing garden at which point there were more guests. Our seating time passed by nearly half an hour so we made it known to the staff. No problem, we were brought menus and offered our canapés (everyone else seemed to now be ahead of us). We were taken into the beautiful restaurant where we mentioned we didn’t receive our canapés, this now being nearly 1 & half hours since our original 19.30 table booking. But we were in gear, the canapés and every single dish (we did the all in overnight stay package) were just out of this world. Some of the best food we’ve tasted. Unfortunately it was about 23.00 when we wrapped up so our nightcap (we love a few post dinner cocktails) had passed. We even took the last of dessert to the room and asked if we could settle up in the morning. The room and bed was very comfortable and clean (like the whole hotel) AC is available or you can open windows. TVs are modern, not that we bothered as the hotel is so nice with beautiful surroundings and pleasant ambiance. I would definitely recommend but unfortunately if you don’t speak up, you maybe left out. We felt other, larger groups, were a priority. But make no mistake, The Peacock is an excellent establishment all round.
