There is something wonderfully grounding about returning to a country pub after a long walk across the Peak District. At the Devonshire Arms, we believe the best days are spent outdoors and then finished in good company, with good food and a well-earned drink. Our kitchen works with honest, fresh, local produce, and our extensive drinks list has something for every taste. Whether you are escaping the madness of everyday life for a single evening or planning a longer stay, we aim to make every visit feel like a welcome homecoming.
We are proud to be a pub that welcomes all members of the family, including the four-legged ones. Well-behaved dogs are always welcomed with a friendly greeting, and we understand that a true country pub should feel comfortable for everyone. Whether you are joining us for a meal after a weekend ramble or staying overnight in one of our newly redecorated rooms, we want you and your companions to feel at ease. Our team is here to make sure every detail is looked after, from your first drink to your final goodbye.
A short walk from the stunning Chatsworth House, we sit right in the heart of the Derbyshire countryside, yet we are far from remote in spirit. The Devonshire Arms is the kind of place where locals and visitors alike gather to share stories, celebrate milestones, and enjoy the simple pleasures of good hospitality. We take pride in our relaxed atmosphere and our commitment to serving food that reflects the very best of the region. Come for a drink, stay for a meal, and you may well find yourself planning your next visit before the first one ends.
Our rooms have been thoughtfully refreshed, offering a cosy and comfortable retreat after a day of exploring. We know that a great stay is about more than just a place to sleep; it is about feeling genuinely welcomed and cared for. Each evening, guests can settle in for a leisurely meal, browse the menu at their own pace, and enjoy a drink by the fire or in our airy dining spaces. Whether you are celebrating something special or simply taking a well-deserved break, we aim to make every overnight stay memorable.
We love to share the stories, ideas, and little moments that make our pub what it is. From seasonal menu inspiration to the simple joys of a Sunday lunch, our blog is a place where we can connect with our regulars and newcomers alike. We hope these pages give you a flavour of what to expect when you visit, and perhaps encourage you to book a table, plan a walk, or simply daydream about your next escape. After all, the best times are often the ones spent together, and there is always room for one more at our table.
