A Derbyshire hotel has scooped the top accolade in the ‘Taste of England’ awards.
Visit England revealed winners for Awards for Excellence for 2025, following a rigorous judging process by handpicked tourism industry experts.
Various categories include B&B and Guest House of the Year, Camping, Glamping and Holiday Park of the Year and Experience of the Year.
Winners were placed in three categories of Gold, Silver and Bronze.
Cavendish Hotel won the top gold prize in the Taste of England award.
VisitEngland said of the hotel: “It’s hard not to do a chef’s kiss gesture when describing the restaurant offering at The Cavendish Hotel.
“Part of the sprawling Chatsworth Estate, this elegant establishment knows a thing or two about refined dining.
“The service is exceptional, as are the menus, which showcase seasonal and locally sourced ingredients – many from the estate itself.
“A meal here is like taking a bite out of the region’s rich culinary heritage. Add to that some of the finest views in England, especially if you opt for lunch on the terrace.”
Another Derbyshire institution that did well in the awards is The Blind Bull. It took the silver award in Pub of the Year. Judges praised the ‘welcoming, unpretentious inn’ and its ‘epic Sunday roasts.’
