4-star country inn at the doorstep of Ladybower Reservoir hikes
Accommodations & Amenities
The Ladybower Inn provides rooms with a flat-screen TV, a wardrobe, and a private bathroom with a shower and free toiletries. Certain units offer lake views, a feature that sets this property apart from other inns in the Peak District. The building includes wheelchair accessible rooms, an emergency cord in the bathroom, and toilets with grab rails.
Dining & Breakfast
Guests choose from a Full English/Irish, vegetarian, or vegan breakfast each morning. The on-site restaurant and bar serve homemade food with generous portions, including gluten-free options for coeliac guests. A children's menu is available, and the bar offers a selection of English beers, wine, and champagne.
Location & Outdoor Access
The inn sits in Bamford, 21 km from Chatsworth House and 27 km from Buxton Opera House. Hiking and cycling routes start directly from the property, with a footpath behind the pub connecting Ladybower bridge to Cutthroat bridge. Free private parking is available on-site for guests who arrive by car.
Pet-Friendly Policies
Dogs are allowed at the hotel, and the staff actively welcome them with a dedicated dog menu and a dog-friendly attitude. The property is described as genuinely dog-friendly rather than merely dog-tolerant, a distinction appreciated by many guests. The inn has a bar and restaurant where well-behaved dogs are permitted.
Family-Friendly Features
The hotel offers family rooms, including a Family Room with Disability Access, and provides board games and puzzles for children. Kids' meals are available on the dining menu, and the surrounding Peak District offers numerous family walking routes. CCTV in common areas and outside the property, along with smoke alarms and fire extinguishers, support a safe environment for families.
