The Experience
The Cow is a smart and stylish gastropub facing the village green, with a friendly welcome, set deep in the South Derbyshire countryside. Step inside to where the copper-topped bar gleams and the fire leaps in the old stone fireplace. Perch on an upcycled milk churn to down a pint of local ale and choose from The Catch – head chef Nathan’s fresh fish menu with daily specials. Perhaps soft shell crab, followed by the baked whole John Dory with salsa verde, rosemary and thyme, Charlotte potatoes and seasonal greens. Leave room for the rich chocolate and raspberry torte. Upstairs, the bedrooms have padded headboards, plump cushions, gleaming linens, hi-tech touches and a warm glow from clever lighting. Bathrooms sparkle, and have attractive stone basins. Breakfast will set you up for a day of exploring the Dales; tuck into poached Finnan haddock or a three egg omelette. You’re in Derbyshire’s Golden Triangle so take time to admire the little villages and vast views.

Stayed overnight en route back to the Northwest from Suffolk. Welcoming, great atmosphere and lovely comfortable room with many extra touches like a small bottle of milk in fridge. Best bed we have slept in for ages. Quiet location. The food was unexpectedly innovative with ‘small plates’ - five between two were plenty- the home made pork scratchings were delicious and sinful, the home made scotch egg really tasty. Breakfast equally good and freshly cooked to order.

The neighbourhood
Local points of interest from Fran Thacker
- Chatsworth is described by many as the Palace in the Peaks and well worth a visit, with its fascinating and beautiful gardens, one of the most opulent stately homes in the North of England where deer can be seen roaming freely amongst the backdrop.
- Matlock Bath is a popular destination for families, bikers and fun seekers, with a wide a variety of things to do; An exciting cable car ride takes you up to The Heights of Abraham, where the wooded country park is crowned with the Victoria Prospect Tower.
- Kedleston Hall is a spectacular Neo-classical mansion, framed by historic parkland. Designed for lavish entertaining and displaying an extensive collection of paintings, sculpture and original furnishings. A fun day out exploring the parkland and house.
- Perhaps best known for its unique and delicious pudding. Bakewell has many more tempting treats to offer - ranging from shopping and specialist markets to relaxing strolls and special events.
- Discover the beauty of Haddon Hall, just a 45 minute drive from Derby and described as “the most romantic house to survive from the middle ages”. Set in the heart of the beautiful Peak District National Park overlooking the River Wye.
- Dovedale is known for the River Dove and it’s impressive limestone ravines, but the most iconic part of the trip has to be the picturesque stepping stones. With hike-worthy views this destination is sure to impress those longing for adventure.

Stayed in room 8 with very comfortable bed. Food was rather exciting with small plates to share. Perfect for me as I can never make up my mind. We were lucky on arrival to find they had an open afternoon with cakes and tea. Scrumptious scones. Next morning we had haddock and poached egg for breakfast. They were so kind in posting back my watch which I left somewhere in the room. Only 1 comment that they may want to consider. They may want to consider making it clear on the website that breakfast is indeed included as It could put folk off from booking a romantic getaway
