On that, I'm thrilled to say that Shottle Hall, it's staff and the quality of the venue on the day lived up to our expectations! Situated in a very accessible rural location, on the south-eastern fringe of the Peak District National Park in Derbyshire, the hall is family run and you feel it. Attentive, without ever being over the top, with each of the 8 rooms individual in style and feel. A case of take your pick! The venue doubles as a hotel day by day and I'd recommend it to anyone who is passing through The Peak District or spending time in or around Chatsworth House.

Only eight bedrooms at present, but there is view to creating further I am told. Although it's quite expensive to stay here, it has amazing interior design, fabulous food and excellent service. There's even a heli-pad! Shottle Hall also has license to hold civil wedding ceremonies and what a location! Has to be the best hotel in Derby.

The Greyhound is a spacious and stylish pub and restaurant (and hotel) in Cromford (not Matlock…read moreBath). It is in the centre (so to speak) of the village, you can't miss it if you go by the main road. Visitors by train (like me, doing a rail trail along the river Derwent between Matlock and Derby) should know that it is a 15 minute walk from the station, with almost nothing of interest in between. But the second recommended Cromford pub, The Boat Inn, is nearby this place. The Greyhound has limited real ales on hand pump, staff were very friendly and the décor is certainly upmarket and attractive. This is really big pub which earns it a recommendation for groups.

Victorian/Edwardian antiquities adorn the walls and provide a very interesting and calming ambiance. My room was fantastic, see attached photo.

The George & Dragon offers plenty of atmosphere, traditional pub food and a decent selection of real ales.

We sampled some beers during a pub crawl of the town, but didn't have time to try any food. One of the dark options, the Lincoln Green Tuck Porter (their beers are all named after characters in the Robin Hood legend) I found to be absolutely delicious. Nice, clean place - everything a good community pub should be.
