Cavendish Hotel, Baslow

The Times and The Sunday Times' HOTEL OF THE YEAR 2025

This charming former coaching inn, with its 28 bedrooms, lies at the heart of the Chatsworth Estate, overlooking the breathtaking landscapes of the Peak District National Park. Deeply connected to the heritage of Chatsworth House, the Cavendish Hotel reflects a unique blend of historic charm and contemporary sophistication.

Drawing on the Chatsworth House archives and collaborating with Lady Burlington, we worked to honour the rich history of the hotel and estate while introducing refined, sympathetic modern touches.
