Amazing stay in a beautiful place
Pros:

The place is in a beautiful location, walking distance from Chatswoth House and park. The staff at this hotel are very friendly and supportive. My daughter left her reMarkable tablet in the room. Heidi and the reception team were so amazing in finding it, and taking extra efforts to courier the parcel to my home address. We will back at this place in summer months

Overpriced
Pros:

Location - we went to the Christmas at Chatsworth the next morning (not to be repeated...)

Cons:

Cost - very costly and you would be far better off elsewhere. Service in the restaurant was really slow and they were not at all busy. Portion sizes small.
