COUNTRY HOUSES

It just doesn’t get better than Chatsworth House, one of Britain's best loved historic houses and estates. They offer something for everyone to enjoy, from famous works of art, young animals and the spectacular fountains in the garden to the finest shopping, food and drink and many miles of free walks.

For many quests, the home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, set in the magnificent landscape of Derbyshire's Peak District National Park is best remembered from the scenes from the film Pride and Prejudice. Chatsworth House set in 1000 acre park offers something for everyone; a historic house, where you can see the grandest rooms filled with examples of superb craftsmanship and treasures collected over five centuries, to the Chatsworth's farmyard, where visitor can meet the animals who live there, through Chatsworth farm shop, to an adventure playground for the young ones to enjoy.

The famous garden contains spectacular waterworks and you are welcome to walk and play here and in the surrounding park or enter the wonderful challenging maze in the garden. Throughout the year, the estate organises lots of special family activities and events.

To enjoy Chatsworth House to the full, we would recommend allocating the full day to this activity. Chatsworth has a long tradition of welcoming visitors. Chatsworth House really offers something to all age groups and diverse interest; hence we would highly recommend this activity.

Guest that elects to stay on one of the Holiday Inn Royal Victoria Hotels family friendly packages enjoys a 10% discount when visiting Chatsworth House. At the time of booking, please ask our reservation team about this and any other local interest locations where our team have negotiated offers on your behalf.
