Frequent visitors to Chatsworth, we find something new in the area each time we visit. To be given a gate key to the Chatsworth estate grounds as part of your stay is truly unique and offers walks with amazing views of Chatsworth House and surrounding countryside. The site staff are always friendly and have developed a fantastic way to speed entry to the site at busy periods; visitors should remember that arrivals are only possible after 1pm and anyone on-site should avoid trying to leave at peak arrival times as the road to the site is single track with limited passing points. Villages of Baslow and Pilsley are well worth a visit - we were impressed with The Devonshire at Baslow on our visit which has become very dog friendly with a great menu and service. Visits to the Chatsworth Farm Shop and nearby Bakewell (try Thornbridge Brewery tap whilst you're there) are a must do.
