10 of the Best Pubs with Rooms in Derbyshire

Derbyshire

Derbyshire is a county of dramatic contrasts. There are magnificent peaks and flat, windswept moorlands shrouded in mist, narrow gorges and neat fields where contented sheep and cattle graze, and some wonderfully unspoiled rural villages where the weary traveller will find welcoming country pubs with open fires, cask ales and locally sourced menus. It’s these old coaching inns and the best pubs with rooms in Derbyshire that our Gurus think make the ideal accommodation for those travelling this county. It’s not just the unspoiled, rural views and personal service, it’s the chance to meet the locals and the pleasure of knowing you can enjoy yourself in the bar of an evening and then just pop upstairs to bed… Lovely…

Wonderful for walkers, in the Peak District National Park, the Pennine Way or otherwise, the best pubs with rooms in Derbyshire are also a great option for anyone visiting this county’s stately homes, Chatsworth, Haddon Hall, Hardwick Hall, Calke Abbey, Sudbury, Tissington Hall and the rest. Or charming rural towns: Hathersage where Jane Eyre was set, Georgian spa town, Buxton, or Bakewell - for the tarts…
