About Grouse & Claret

The Grouse & Claret is a traditional coaching inn on the A6 at Rowsley, on the gateway to the Peak District National Park around four miles north of Matlock Bath, on the road towards Bakewell and Chatsworth. Its position on the main valley road makes it a convenient stop for anyone touring this stretch of the Peak District by car.

Eight en-suite double rooms are furnished with kingsize beds, flat-screen televisions with Freeview, free Wi-Fi and tea and coffee making facilities, in a straightforward, comfortable style typical of a well-run village inn. A pub restaurant serves food throughout the day, with complimentary parking for guests arriving by car.

Rowsley itself is a small, quiet village, with Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and Bakewell all within a short drive, and Matlock Bath easily reached back down the A6, making the Grouse & Claret a practical, unfussy base for touring the wider Peak District rather than staying within Matlock Bath itself.
