Fischers Baslow Hall - Chatsworth

The building & the setting are fab. Beautiful gardens & a warm friendly welcome. Service was excellent. Unfortunately it appears the kitchen is living off its past reputation & is no longer (in my opinion) fine dining standard. Very disappointed with the quality of the food. The starters were not up to scratch , main courses & desserts OK. Excellent wine but rose by the glass crazily over priced. £23.50 for a 175ml glass of English rose is difficult to justify.

We stayed in the Haddon room, which is beautiful with a lovely garden view, comfy bed and clean minimal bathroom. We had the tasting menu which was a great way to try lots of tasty dishes. Breakfast was really nice, the staff were all welcoming and ensured we had a comfortable stay. We definitely plan to return.

We were booked in on a bed and breakfast basis for 3 nights from a Monday to a Wednesday night and we were aware that there would be no evening meal service for the first two nights. The hotel and grounds are lovely and the staff we came into contact with were very welcoming and pleasant. Unfortunately the bed in our room was extremely uncomfortable and hard. For a lightweight person the mattress had absolutely no ‘give’ in it at all. I had next to no sleep and was in a lot of pain by the morning, so much so that we decided to cut short our stay. Obviously in accordance with the terms and conditions we were liable for the total cost, which I duly and very sadly paid. However, as we seemed to be the only guests in residence at the time, our late decision to cancel had not prevented anyone else from booking and I do believe that we could have been met halfway with costs in the interests of good customer relations. We were offered another room but there was no guarantee that the bed would be any different. I know different people have different requirements but worth a thought if you are a lightweight and prefer a medium sprung bed! The breakfast was nicely cooked and presented, but the choice was limited compared to other similar standard hotels and there did not appear to be any pastries/croissants on offer. So overall, for us, a waste of rather a lot of money!

Terrific Hotel/Restaurant in The Peaks near Bakewell. Luxury rooms set in lovely gardens with a Michelin Plate restaurant attached (that has a separate Tripadvisor page). Stylish rooms with outstanding service. Friendly staff with great advice on what to visit in the area. Chatsworth House and Hadden Hall very close by.

This was a rescheduled visit from July after my wife was ill. Yes it is very expensive, but in my eyes, worth every penny to see the joy she took from our visit, after all, it was her belated birthday treat. We both felt at ease and relaxed, the grounds are very beautiful and well maintained and the food was at another level to anything we have previously experienced. Our room was comfortable and quiet, everything was just spot on. We will return but some saving up required. Thank you to all the staff for your efforts.

We meet our Derbyshire friends annually for dinner and had to book Fischer Hall at the last minute due to unforeseen circumstances. It was tremendous. Everything about the evening was superb. The staff were incredibly professional but also attentive and charming. In fact I it was some of the best service I've ever experienced . The food was fantastic and innovative. The surroundings are beautiful.
