Hotels in Derbyshire
48 handpicked places to stay

Derbyshire's mix of market towns and open moorland makes for a wide spread of places to stay, from stone-built guesthouses in Bakewell to spa-town B&Bs in Buxton. Matlock Bath suits those drawn to the Derwent Valley and its old-fashioned seaside-in-the-hills feel, while Derby offers a more urban base with easy road and rail links across the county.
Out towards the Peak District, options like Underleigh House and Hawthorn Farm Guest House trade city convenience for hillside views and quiet lanes, useful if walking or cycling is the main plan. Closer to town centres, places such as The Garden Bed and Breakfast, Ellen House and Glendon Bed and Breakfast put shops, pubs and stations within easy reach on foot.
Smaller family-run guesthouses sit alongside grander stays such as Breedon Hall, so it is worth deciding whether you want rural peace or a base close to Bakewell's market and shops, or Buxton's Georgian streets, before choosing where to book.
