Beautifully situated in the heart of Bakewell, The Rutland Arms Hotel occupies a stunning Victorian building dating back to 1804. Bursting with original architectural details, the spectacular building is the perfect setting for an unforgettable visit; it’s is believed Jane Austen once stayed at this historic venue while writing Pride & Prejudice. Nestled on the edge of the Chatsworth Estate, and just a five-minute drive from Haddon Hall, this is the perfect base for those exploring the area.
The venue itself is charming, but it’s the food served in The Square Restaurant that makes visitors so eager to return. Menus change seasonally but you can expect delectable mains such as lamb shank with creamy mashed potato, tenderstem broccoli, red wine sauce and salsa verde, or the pan-seared king scallops accompanied by Spanish chorizo, pea purée, sautéed potatoes and a caper, lemon and butter sauce. For those looking for something more casual, the newly refurbished Gateway Bar is ideal for a quality tipple and offers traditional British fare. Alongside The Square and Gateway Bar, The Rutland also boasts an adjoining gin bar and pizza restaurant called Juniper. Here, you’ll find a huge selection of specialist gin, alongside a choice of homemade pizzas which are sure to delight. Why not prolong your stay in one of 33 uniquely designed rooms? You can also hire the hotel for wedding receptions, meetings and celebrations.
