Condé Nast Traveller’s Senior Features Editor Lydia Bell appreciated The Cavendish Hotel at Baslow’s luxurious surroundings, rich heritage, sumptuous views and the upmarket food offering.

‘Interiors maestra Nicola Harding worked alongside Laura Burlington, the estate’s current custodian. Paintings from the family collection line the walls, from American portrait artist Elizabeth Peyton to Turner Prize winner Jeremy Deller.

‘Almost all 28 bedrooms and suites have bucolic views framed by sash windows.

‘Deep, comfortable coral pink corduroy armchairs and stout feather-stuffed cushions invite you to sink into them and delve into memoirs and books on art, gardening, and local lore. ‘Quiet good taste is the order of the day, with block-printed wallpaper, whipped-cream ceilings, wainscots, framed botanicals, and emerald green felt-upholstered doors.

‘The eau-de-nil-hued Gallery Restaurant is filled with estate drawings, gilt-framed etchings, and sumptuous landscapes, including two by Irish painter Oliver Comerford.

‘It’s the perfect setting for executive chef Adam Harper’s upmarket menu of oysters, mackerel parfait, shellfish bisque, ham hock, and beef Wellington.
