Chatsworth Estate's New Family-Friendly Hotel Offers Affordable Luxury in the Peak District
As you approach the grand entrance of Chatsworth House, a stunning limestone edifice set amidst rolling hills and parkland, it's impossible not to feel a sense of awe. This is more than just a historic mansion – it's an entire estate with over 450 years of history and a legacy that continues to shape its present.
The latest addition to the Chatsworth family is The Hide hotel, a newly refurbished, family-friendly haven nestled on the A619 road from Chesterfield to Bakewell. This charming retreat has been reimagined as an affordable alternative to pricier accommodation in the estate's portfolio, with doubles starting at £80 a night and bunk rooms sleeping two adults and two children from £125, both room-only.
Upon arrival, we settled into our family-friendly bunk room, complete with built-in cabin bunks, soft woollen blankets, and modern artwork from the Cavendish family's private collection. A warm welcome awaited us at The Hide Grill and Pizzeria, where we indulged in a delicious campfire-inspired meal designed for sharing, cooked over an open flame.
The Hide offers many perks, including access to unlimited visits to Chatsworth House and grounds, direct entry to the 14,000 hectares of parkland, bike and boot wash stations, cycle storage, and an outdoor dog bath. A convenient bus service connects the hotel to Chesterfield, making it an ideal base for exploring the Peak District National Park.
During our stay, we had the privilege of taking a private tour of Chatsworth House, guided by Martin, who regaled us with fascinating facts about 17 generations of Cavendish families. The tour revealed hidden treasures such as the beautifully restored Painted Hall, State Rooms, chapel, library, and Sculpture Gallery.
What sets The Hide apart is its commitment to bringing the estate's history to life through everyday details. Martin shared stories about the house being used as a girls' boarding school during WWII, and the discovery of Cadbury's chocolate wrappers from the 1930s behind an old tapestry in the State Drawing Room. These touches give guests a deeper connection to the place and its storied past.
The Hide offers the perfect blend of comfort, luxury, and affordability for families looking to explore the Peak District National Park. With rates starting at £80 a night for doubles and bunk rooms sleeping two adults and two children from £125, it's an unbeatable value proposition that invites you to experience all that Chatsworth Estate has to offer.
