Rooms
Each of the 10 rooms at Hodgkinsons Hotel has individual character, with antique furnishings and original preserved features.

Dining
The hotel's restaurant opens Thursday to Saturday evenings, 6pm-9pm, for pre-booked tables only and serves a menu focused on locally sourced steaks and homemade sides.

Location
The hotel stands on the edge of the Peak District National Park, a 10-minute walk from the Heights of Abraham and Gulliver's Kingdom.

Nearby attractions include the Peak District Mining Museum, Mini Aquarium, and scenic Lovers' Walk along the River Derwent.
