The Pilsley Inn has one rather impressive neighbour: the Chatsworth Estate. Surrounded by beautiful countryside, this characterful village pub makes an inviting base for exploring the Peak District. Inside, it has all the ingredients of a proper country pub: cosy corners, roaring fires, local ales and a relaxed dining room where seasonal produce takes centre stage. Chatsworth House itself can be reached on foot through the estate, while Bakewell, Haddon Hall and the Monsal Trail are all close by. Whether you are planning a walking weekend, a romantic Peak District escape or simply want good food and a comfortable bed after a day at Chatsworth, The Pilsley Inn puts you right at the heart of this beautiful corner of Derbyshire.

Bedrooms
After a day walking the Chatsworth Estate or exploring the Peak District, the bedrooms at The Pilsley Inn offer a comfortable countryside retreat. There are 13 individually designed en-suite bedrooms, with accommodation ranging from cosy doubles for two to larger rooms for families and guests looking for a little more space. For a classic pub stay, choose from Cosy, Comfortable and Spacious rooms, each individually styled and designed with comfort in mind. For something with a little more character, the Farmhouse rooms are tucked away in an annexe beside the inn. Designed by the Duchess of Devonshire, these rooms feature handsome four-poster beds and generous en-suite bathrooms, giving them a suitably country-house feel while keeping you just a few steps from the pub. Selected rooms also welcome dogs (with prior acknowledgement), making it easy to bring four-legged companions along for a Peak District walking break.
Food & Drink
There is a real sense of place to eating at The Pilsley Inn. Sitting on the Chatsworth Estate, the kitchen makes the most of what is grown, reared and produced nearby, with seasonal ingredients shaping a menu of hearty, well-made food. Breakfast sets you up nicely for a day exploring Chatsworth, followed by relaxed lunches and comforting evening dishes back at the pub. Sundays are particularly well suited to settling in for a traditional roast, preferably after a good walk through the surrounding estate. The local theme continues at the bar, where Derbyshire breweries are well represented. Look out for beers from Peak Ales and Thornbridge, including Chatsworth Gold, alongside wines, spirits and other favourites. On a sunny day, take your pint outside into the garden; when the Peak District weather has other ideas, a table beside the fire is hard to beat.
