Located on the Chatsworth House Estate, The Cavendish Hotel restaurants has won an AA 2 Rosette Award. The hotel offers locally sourced food and free Wi-Fi.
The Cavendish Hotel, originally the famous Peacock, is located in the heart of the Peak District. The hotel is steeped in history, with perfect views and peaceful surroundings.
Throughout the hotel you will find open fires, oak beams, antique furnishings, fresh flowers and friendly staff. And yet this oasis is located just 15 minutes from Sheffield and 20 minutes off the M1.
Hotel informationOriginally 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 & beverage
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 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.
