The Old Station House Bed and Breakfast

The Old Station House Bed and Breakfast in the Peak District is one of the closest B&Bs to Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and Bakewell, three of the area's most popular attractions. We are located in the picturesque village of Rowsley, with a pub and two upmarket restaurants within a five minute walk and plenty of off road parking, so our family run B&B is the perfect base while exploring the National Park.

Our beautiful house was designed in 1850 by Joseph Paxton, the year before he built the famous Crystal Palace for the Great Exhibition in London. We have just three guest bedrooms, two doubles and one twin/superking which has extra long 6' 6" beds. All the rooms are fully ensuite, have TV/DVD players and Wi-Fi internet access, as well as views over the surrounding countryside. Our breakfast is second to none, with free range eggs from the farm opposite our house, homemade bread and preserves.

The Derwent Valley Heritage Way will take you from Rowsley to Chatsworth House in just an hour, along an easy flat trail through the beautiful national park. Other local footpaths lead to Haddon Hall, Bakewell, Matlock Bath and the Nine Ladies Stone Circle, while Peak Rail steam trains run from Rowsley South station to Matlock at weekends. Our information pack has details of all local walks and we have plenty of guidebooks and maps to help you explore further afield.
