Peak District Exploration Base

The property provides secure bicycle storage and access to the Monsal Trail, an 8.5-mile cycle and pedestrian path through the national park. Footpaths lead directly from the village to Chatsworth House (3 miles), Haddon Hall (2.5 miles), and Bakewell (3 miles). Walk to the Nine Ladies Stone Circle on Stanton Moor or follow the Derwent Valley Heritage Way along the river.

Rowsley Village Location

Located in Rowsley village where the rivers Wye and Derwent meet, the B&B sits 500 meters from Peak Shopping Village and 1 km from Caudwells Mill. The Grouse and Claret pub is down the road, and East Lodge Country House Hotel is across the street. Rowsley South station, with weekend steam trains to Matlock, is 0.75 miles away along the river path.

Transport and Access Services

The nearest train station is Matlock, connected by Transpeak or 6.1 buses to Rowsley. From Sheffield, take the 218 bus through Peak District scenery. Off-road parking is available at the property. The information pack includes public transport details, local walk maps, and Peak District guide books. Secure storage is provided for bicycles.

“What strikes me is the dedication to guest comfort; the property seems to anticipate every need, from providing ample in-room amenities to arranging early breakfasts. Situated in Rowsley, a picturesque gateway to the Peak District, the location is ideal for exploring nearby attractions like Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall. I appreciate that it is a historical building designed by renowned architect Joseph Paxton.”
