Nestled in the heart of the stunning Peak District, this hotel enjoys beautiful views over Monsal Dale valley, and hearty, seasonal food.

Guests can enjoy a drink and a hearty meal in the former stable and award winning restaurant, or relax in its lounge, all of which have open fires blazing in the cold winter months.

Tranquil views over Monsal Dale and Longstone Edge feature in some of the rooms at the Monsal Head Hotel. Every light and airy room provides private bathrooms, along with a full hospitality tray, tea and coffee, and a TV.

Free parking is available, and the historic beauty of Chatsworth House and its estate are located approximately 5 miles away, while pretty Bakewell town is 3 miles from the hotel. Scenic walks can be enjoyed through the surrounding countryside, with the Headstone Viaduct which now forms part of the famous Monsal Trail, just 750 feet from the hotel's front door.

Full Derbyshire breakfasts are served every morning in the Longstone Restaurant made with fresh, local ingredients from nearby award-winning butchers. The restaurant has a daily specials menu, as well as a seasonally changing à la carte menu.

The Stables Bar serves a variety of real ales in a relaxed, rustic environment, while the Ashford Lounge offers comfortable seating, books and games to relax with.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.6 for a two-person trip.

Situated perfectly at the peak of the Monsal Dale, the Monsal Head Hotel and Longstone Restaurant offer superb views over Little Longstone and most importantly the Monsal Dale and the Monsal Viaduct both said to be the 3rd most visited attraction in the Peak District

We are a group of friendly staff who love you work in the peaks and enjoy looking after people who have come to visit the area and take in the surroundings
