A jaunt through sylvan parkland to Britain’s most aesthetic stately home, Chatsworth House, this Peak District coaching inn owned by Chatsworth’s Devonshire family has had a glow-up. Interiors maestra Nicola Harding, Beaverbrook’s secret weapon, worked alongside Laura Burlington, the estate’s current custodian. Paintings from the family collection line the walls, from American portrait artist Elizabeth Peyton to Turner Prize winner Jeremy Deller. Almost all 28 bedrooms and suites have bucolic views framed by sash windows. Deep, comfortable coral pink corduroy armchairs and stout feather-stuffed cushions invite you to sink into them and delve into memoirs and books on art, gardening, and local lore. Quiet good taste is the order of the day, with block-printed wallpaper, whipped-cream ceilings, wainscots, framed botanicals, and emerald green felt-upholstered doors. The eau-de-nil-hued Gallery Restaurant is filled with estate drawings, gilt-framed etchings, and sumptuous landscapes, including two by Irish painter Oliver Comerford. It’s the perfect setting for executive chef Adam Harper’s upmarket menu of oysters, mackerel parfait, shellfish bisque, ham hock, and beef Wellington. The Garden Room opens onto a terrace and has a breezy decor of pinks and magentas with rattan chairs and brick floors. It offers relaxed brunch choices too, like garden soups, prawn cocktails, English asparagus, and farm roasts. Produce hails from the beehives, mushroom emporiums, kitchen gardens, and game on the estate and from suppliers within a 10-mile radius. From £193. Lydia Bell
