The Experience
You’re between two fine houses, Haddon Hall and Chatsworth House. Wander beside rivers up to each – the Derwent to Chatsworth, the Wye to the hall – both a stroll through beautiful parkland. As for the hotel, it was built in 1652 and was home to the steward of Haddon. Inside is graceful: mullioned windows, hessian rugs, antiques and oil paintings.
You’ll find Mouseman tables in the restaurant, where French windows open onto the terrace. Elsewhere, a fire smoulders in the bar every day, the daily papers wait in the sitting room, the garden lawn runs down to the river. Stylish bedrooms have crisp linen, good beds, Farrow & Ball colours, the odd antique; one has a bed from Belvoir Castle.
Good food waits in the restaurant, with meat and game from the estate, all superbly presented by long-time head chef, Adam Thackeray. Sunday lunches, afternoon teas in the garden in summer and seven miles of fishing rights. Lovely.
