Hands up if you've tried Bakewell Pudding before! 🙋‍♀️ Did you know: this famous local delicacy was accidentally created by a local cook in the 1800s? 🥄🥧

The Pudding was the result of a misunderstanding at a local inn, when visiting noblemen ordered a strawberry tart, but instead of stirring the egg mix into the pastry, the cook spread it on top of a layer of jam! The Pudding was so successful that it became legendary 👏

Sample them yourself or order freshly-made Puddings straight to your door from The Old Original Bakewell Pudding Shop 🏡🇬🇧

We know we cannot offer any leisure trips until Monday 12th April, but when we are all allowed out to stay away and enjoy the great outdoors and different areas of the country.

Then why not come and have a stay with us in our highly rated holiday accommodation.

We have many local attractions on our door step including amazing views and attractions like the stunning Upper Derwent Reservoirs.

THE UPPER DERWENT RESERVOIRS ARE a chain of three impressive manmade lakes—the Howden, the Derwent, and the Ladybower—that snake through Peak District National Park in the north of England. Controlled by two Gothic-style masonry dams and one large earth bank, they were constructed in the rural Derwent Valley during the first half of the 20th century, and went on to serve an unexpected military purpose during World War II as a practice field for the bombing raids known as Operation Chastise.

We have many local attractions including Eyam Plague village just 17 miles from us.

Eyam is a small village in Derbyshire. Lying between Buxton and Chesterfield it is just north of Bakewell in the Peak District. Typically rural, most of its population were farmers. In the early 1660s it did not stand apart from any of the other numerous villages that lined the trade routes from London to the rest of England. And yet in 1665 Eyam became one of the most significant villages in England. The actions of its 800 inhabitants had far reaching and important consequences for the development of treatment of the plague.
