Fischers Baslow Hall - Chatsworth

Utterly Charming!

A lovely hotel set in a beautiful garden. Wonderful food and staff - such that I immediately booked to return for a couple of days a week later.

We booked Fischer's for lunch to celebrate my sister's birthday. We have stayed and eaten here on many occasions, and were not disappointed on Sunday. The staff are all extremely friendly, helpful and professional. The surroundings are beautiful. We arrived early for drinks on the terrace, and then enjoyed a delicious Sunday lunch in the lovely restaurant. Afterward we had a walk around the gardens, which was delightful. We all enjoyed the experience and had a wonderful afternoon. I can feel a mini-break coming on for the near future! Hope to see you again soon. Thank you to all the staff. xx

We stayed for 2 nights in a garden room. We had booked the dinner package, so the taster menu the first night followed by the 3 course the following night. I can honestly say that this is the most wonderful hotel we have stayed in, and we travel a lot. Firstly the service. Impeccable, friendly, relaxed, professional, and attentive, a mixture that can be hard to achieve. It is so evident that they enjoy their working environment, and really care about the customers' experience. The food was incredible. We have eaten at many Michelin star restaurants, and the food here is easily Michelin star quality. The taster menu was sublime, so much so we upgraded to have it again the second night. The ambience of the restaurant is intimate and somewhat homely. The room we stayed in was also lovely. Whilst not in the house, you have a level of privacy which is enhanced by a lovely garden seating area outside. Sitting reading a book whilst watching the abundant butterflies amongst the wild flowers is enchanting. High quality bed linen and pillows (always important), and a spacious modern bathroom. They are lovely rooms. The decor of this hotel is also a sight to behold. Bold and lustrous wallpapers which somehow fit with the age of the property. The gardens are beautiful, and rather than having an overly manicured feel, they embrace wildflowers, and various areas are a delight to explore. The gardeners are lovely to talk to, and are clearly skilled at their craft. It is not a cheap hotel, nor should it be, and we felt that it was worth every penny. Normally there is something we could criticise, and our experience of the hospitality industry at the high end over the last couple of years has not been good, and seems to have deteriorated a lot, but not here. We can't wait to return , and will. Value for money? Well if you want excellent service, amazing food, a homely and unpretentious environment, stay here. Am already looking for dates to return over Christmas!

Excellent location for touring the Peak District. Comfortable and welcoming hotel. Beautiful gardens. Food and drinks were top-rate, with prices to match.
