Cavendish Hotel, Grindleford

Baslow, Grindleford, Derbyshire, DE45 1SP

The Cavendish Hotel, originally the famous Peacock, is located on the Chatsworth Country House Estate 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.

There has been an Inn here for so long it is uncertain when it was built. Originally the famous Peacock Inn, it 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 1970's was rebuilt as the Cavendish by Chatsworth Estate when the original character was preserved and the Duchess of Devonshire selected the decor and furnishings, some of which came from Chatsworth House itself. The Restaurant Our aim in the Gallery Restaurant is to provide imaginative food, using the freshest possible ingredients in relaxed and sumptuous surroundings. 'Formal' implies rigidity or lacking in friendliness, which is certainly not our intention. Rather a menu with emphasis on fresh and exciting flavours, stylishly presented and surrounded by (in the case of the Gallery Restaurant) some interesting fine art. The decor of the Gallery compliments this informality, muted hues of blues and yellows, soft lighting and of course the Chatsworth view. The a la carte menu emphasises the use of fresh ingredients, many locally sourced, but hopefully creating an unexpected twist here and there. The wine list offers around 70 different wines, ranging from classics, such as Chateau Gruad Larose 1993 to exciting 'New Worlds', such as Viognier 'La Cruz', Colchagua, Chile. There is an extensive half bottle selection and thanks to the miracles of modern science, many wines are offered by the glass with every confidence of their peak quality. Sunday to Thursday room rates include admission to Chatsworth (when open) for up to 2 adults. (PLEASE NOTE - An additional 5% levy will be charged on all goods and services supplied during your stay - excludes accommodation charges on bookings made via this site)
