Buses to Buxton, Bakewell, Matlock and beyond pass right by the front door, while the mainline station in Chesterfield is a minute taxi ride away. With more than three centuries of history under its belt, the Peacock has character in spades. From the outside it's all country charm, with roses rambling around lattice windows and the river Derwent, babbling along past the bottom of the garden.
Inside, they've perfected a traditional-meets-modern look — wellies by the door and antique oak furnishings sit happily alongside modern televisions and bold blocks of colour.
Staff are efficient, friendly and happy to share tips on local attractions. There's no gym or spa but reception has printouts giving detailed directions for recommended local walks, plus guidebooks and spare wellies that guests can borrow.
Second time I have stayed at the Peacock and it was even better than the first time. Bernd , us 1 night business trip. Unique places to stay Reviews Unpacked: Manchester Intl Airport 30 mi. Thank you for choosing The Peacock for your annual celebration.
Post-walk, you can book an in-room massage and leave wet gear in the warming room to dry out. Guests can take advantage of discounted entry to Haddon half-price and Chatsworth 20 per cent off , free temporary membership of Bakewell golf club, and excellent fly fishing for trout and grayling on the Derwent and Wye rivers, complete with a guide and equipment if needed.
As you'd expect from such an old building, no two rooms are exactly alike. All rooms have been recently renovated, with fresh paints, new carpets and curtains, and improved lighting.
The marble bathrooms are undeniably compact, but have everything you need, including mini Miller Harris toiletries. The slightly formal restaurant is all about fine dining, and chef Dan Smith who trained with Tom Aikens serves up inventive, multi-layered dishes that make good use of locally produced ingredients, including Derbyshire-reared beef, lamb and pork.
Some have an Asian twist tuna with yuzu, pickled cucumber and soy, say while others are more modern British eg pig's head croquettes with ham, celeriac and truffle. If you fancy something more casual, try the cosy bar, with its own menu of simpler food such as rib-eye steak or fish and chips and a selection of local ales and well-mixed cocktails.
At breakfast there's a buffet of cereals, fruits, yoghurts and pastries plus cooked options including porridge, waffles, kippers, bacon sandwiches and eggs every which way. My details. Standard Double Room - Guest Room. Standard Double Room - Bathroom. Property Grounds. Hotel Lounge. Hotel Bar.
