Cavendish Hotel in Derbyshire Dales

Had a great afternoon tea. Great service in a lovely location. A fabulous treat!

We had a wonderful Sunday lunch at the Cavendish Hotel. The venue is beautiful with crisp white table cloths. A real sense of occasion. The waiters/waitresses and reception staff were friendly, welcoming and fantastic! They have a prix fix menu on a Sunday for about £45 per person for 3 courses. There is good variety for all the dishes and there's likely something for everyone. We had the prawn cocktail starter which was lovely and fresh (albeit a dish out the 70s!), the spiced carrot soup was also lovely and smooth. The bread served with both was light and fluffy! For mains we had ox cheek, the fish of the day and the sirloin Sunday roast. All of these were tasty and the side vegetables were also delicious. The sticky toffee pudding is an absolute treat! They bring you the toffee sauce on the side so you can put as much or little as you like. The sponge itself was soft and tasty, add on the sauce and ice cream and its a real delight! The service, venue and food are all wonderful and good for a special celebration meal! I thought it was reasonably priced for the standard. I understand in the summer there is also a lovely terrace overlooking the beautiful rolling hills and sheep. I would certainly recommend this restaurant and I hope to return soon!

We stayed at the Cavendish on our honeymoon last week.The hotel and the room, grounds and setting were absolutely beautiful. The staff could not have been more friendly, welcoming and attentive. The food was truly superb. We would thoroughly recommend the afternoon tea. Also, the ‘Chefs Table’ gives you the chance to dine in the kitchen with the Chefs which was fantastic.We genuinely couldn’t find fault with the place and would definitely come back.Well done to all at the Cavendish and thank you for our wonderful stay.Eira and James Hill.

Fabulous cream tea, leave plenty of tummy space in advance of visit. Boxes supplied if takeaway needed.

Excellent afternoon tea. Very friendly and accommodating staff. I think the staff member we dealt with was called Poppy. Highly recommended and will definitely visit again

Excellent service, beautiful surroundings and good food. Even introduced ourselves to Rooibos Tea which we'd not tried before. Made quite a difference to our sleep patterns! Drink it all the time now 🤗 Highly recommend this place.

After a recent stay at the cavendish with my partner for a birthday surprise I have to say all the staff are absolutely amazing and all went the extra mile to make our stay extra special in a lovely hotel. Thankyou to everyone for a wonderful stay and look forward to staying again soon

We have just returned from a perfect weekend at The Cavendish Hotel. The staff cannot do enough for you and made our stay extra special. We loved that breakfast was served until 12pm - breakfast, dinner and afternoon tea were all delicious. We also enjoyed sitting by the fire in the bar. The Hartington suite (room 10) was incredible. The hotel is walking distance from Chatsworth House, which is ideal. We cannot wait to stay again - it is our third visit and each time it just gets better and better. There is no where better to go for a weekend away, especially at Christmas.
