Morning Chris We had a fantastic family gathering at The Derwent, all thought the facilities were first class – we ranged in age from 3 weeks old to 70 and it was such a safe place for all the children, thank you! My Aunts/Uncles will be leaving this morning and I hope that you are happy that all has been left as found. We hope to return again.
anonymous stayed in October '19
Loved the customer service approach 'don't need to tell us about the odd glass or 2 between broken just disasters where we need to replace or mend'. With a group made up of 4 families from 3 weeks to 70 yrs, we need a home to stay in - not a museum where we were frightened to let the children 'just be' .. The Derwent was perfect for us.
Parkes stayed in September '19

We were a large cycling group who rented the property in June. It was fabulous. Spotlessly clean, very well furnished with lots of space and character. Large kitchens with plenty of pots, crockery and storage for large self catering parties like ours. Very easy process to arrange the rental with Peak Venues with such quick and helpful responses and lots of information to make the most of our time there. I would not hesitate to recommend the venue or the company
Kinnear stayed in February '18
We had a lovely stay, thank you. The venue was perfect for what we wanted, and the caterer (David Wakefield, The Dinner Party Company ) was excellent on the Saturday night.

HML Architects stayed in May '15
Hi everyone Just a quick note to thank you all so much for your input into the “Bootcamp” the other week which was a great success. Guests were pleasantly surprised at the high quality of the venue which was comfortable and of a very high standard - we couldn’t have asked for a better setting for our event. Rachel thank you for your patience liaising with Alison on this reservations and ensuring that the venue we booked was suitable for the purpose of our conference. Chris thank you for taking the time to personally show me around the property and answer my questions amidst the chaos of arrivals and deliveries which all seemed to coincide at the same time! Amanda and Dionne (Scoff) thank you for delivering directly to The Derwent and working around the general mayhem late on Monday afternoon - the evening meal was delicious and gratefully received by many who had travelled a long way to get to Bamford. The lunch on both Tuesday and Wednesday was delicious and delivered on time which was great as the delegates were all working to a tight timeline and any delays would have had a huge impact on the day’s agenda. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this high quality venue to anyone looking for somewhere that caters for large groups yet set in a scenic location with excellent transport links from Bamford Station and should you require references happy to oblige.

We just wanted to thank you! We had the best weekend at the Derwent. It is such an amazing place and everyone was so impressed with it. We will send some photos of how we set the table etc when we have them. We walked up to the Anglers Rest most days and we were well looked after there. We would recommend the Derwent... we had a ball.
Dixon stayed in July '14
First of all I want to say what an amazing time we had last weekend The Derwent was amazing and exceeded all my expectations. Everyone had a great time and we were all really impressed with the quality of the finish, it was like staying in a 5 star self-catering hotel.
Woodbine stayed in January '14
Where do I start!?????? From start to finish my weekend at the Derwent was exceptional. Arriving on the Friday to be met by the owner who showed me around and explained all the 'technical' things like the alarm... He then left us to it and explained that he was only at the other end of phone and to ring or text him with any issues big or small. This was so reassuring. When my friends and family started to arrive and saw the venue for the first time they were all taken back by how nicely finished the venue was. All of the bedrooms were to such a high standard and perfect for accommodating my guests comfortably. The location was spot on and we spent Saturday exploring the surrounding countryside and had the pleasure of seeing some amazing views over the lady bower reservoir. After a day of walking coming back the Derwent was just ideal as The heating system was so good and kept such a big building nice and cosy. I had a professional chef in to cook on the Saturday night who found the kitchen more than adequate for him and the mammoth task of cooking a 3 course menu for 30 people. My mum on the other hand trying to cook breakfast for everyone was a little stretch (bless her) everyone did chip in and eventually it worked perfectly, we all had such a laugh from coordinating breakfast to working the bar. I would definitely suggest a 'staff rota' it's so much fun and everyone gets to have a go behind the bar. I can't put down in words how fantastic this venue is and how much fun was had over the weekend. Would recommend every time and will definitely be back. Thanks you to everyone and Peak Venues and Chris Goddard.

Our Top 5 Places to Visit Nearby
1. Upper Derwent Valley
Whilst staying at The Derwent Country House a visit to the Upper Derwent Valley is a must. There are three reservoirs in the Upper Derwent Valley. The River Derwent flows first through Howden Reservoir, then Derwent Reservoir and finally through Ladybower Reservoir. There is a visitor’s centre at Fairholmes with a café and you can also hire bikes and cycle round the reservoirs, the scenery is absolutely stunning. You may have heard about the ‘Dam Busters’ during the Second World War the reservoir was used by pilots of the 617 Squadron for practising the low-level flights needed for Operation Chastise (commonly known as the "Dam Busters" raids), due to its similarity to the German dams. In the West Tower of the Derwent Dam there is a memorial and museum for the Dambusters 617 squadron.
Click here for more information on the Upper Derwent Valley and here for more information on Derwent Cycle Hire.
2. Visit Castleton and its famous caverns
Castleton is one of the most popular destinations for visitors to the Peak District, it has an array of natural and historical features both above and below ground, and is surrounded by superb walking country. High above the village stand the imposing ruins of Peveril Castle. To the west of Castleton lies Mam Tor offering amazing views and fantastic walking on the ridge. Castleton is most well-known for its four caves, each offering a different experience to the visitor, Peak Cavern, Speedwell Cavern, Treak Cliff Cavern and Blue John Mine. The caverns are a great activity for kids and when the weather does not cooperate for outdoor activities.
Click here for a link to Castleton and the Caves.
3. Eyam – The Plague Village
Nearby is the village of Eyam, famously known as the plague village. The village was unique in its response to the outbreak of plague in 1665 as the village placed itself in voluntary quarantine. Eyam museum is great to place to find out more about the plague story and the history of village, there is also Eyam Hall, built in 1676 in a Jacobean style. The house is open to visitors (please check the National Trust website for opening hours) and next door there a small craft centre, which is also worth a visit. There are many great walks around the village and it is lovely just to wander around as many of the buildings also have plaques giving details of their history and the part their inhabitants played in the Plague saga, notably the Plague Cottages where the outbreak began.
Click here for a link to Eyam Museum or Eyam Hall.
4. Walk Bamford Edge and Moor
There are so many stunning places to walk in the local area including Kinder Scout, Mam Tor, Edale, Hathersage and Castleton to name but a few! There are also some great walks which are on the doorstep of the Derwent Country House, including a lovely 5 mile and a 7 mile circular route around Bamford taking in Bamford Edge and Moor. From the elevated position of Bamford Edge there are simply wonderful views over the surrounding area and down to the Ladybower Reservoir.
Click here for further details on a nice 5 mile circular walk or here for a circular 7 mile walk around Bamford.
5. Chatsworth House and Park

dairy and so much more with a choice of over a thousand products and at reasonable prices. It's a great service which delivers straight to your holiday cottage or you can click and collect at a local pick up point.
