"The room had everything we needed-a superking comfortable bed, a fan to help deal with the very hot weather, a nice view, birdsong from the garden, a good shower and a welcoming tea tray."

Rooms with Country Views
The Old Station House offers three ensuite guest bedrooms with views of the surrounding countryside. Two double rooms and one twin room feature extra-long 6'6" beds that convert to superking size. Each room includes a smart TV, Wi-Fi using fiber optic broadband, coffee/tea making facilities, hairdryer, and local information pack with walking routes and transport details.
Full English Breakfast
Breakfast is served between 8am and 9am at the communal dining table. Options include full English, vegetarian, or vegan breakfast using free-range eggs, outdoor-bred British pork, and homemade bread. Special dietary accommodations include soya milk, oat milk, vegan spread, gluten-free bread, and plant-based sausages. Try the coddled eggs served in ceramic coddlers.
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.”
