Hard Day’s Knight is proud to provide a wonderful portfolio of Derbyshire accommodation. One of the many, many attractions close to our properties is one of the Peak District’s most notable properties, and indeed one of our country’s finest stately homes, Chatsworth House.

Chatsworth House is located just 9 miles west of Chesterfield and 3.5 miles northeast of the picturesque town of Bakewell. Selected as one of the county’s favourite country houses, the breathtaking grounds and house contains a unique collection of priceless paintings, furniture, Old Master drawings, neoclassical sculptures, books and other artifacts.

There has never been a better time to visit Chatsworth House whilst on your Derbyshire holidays, as the you will now be able to witness a huge restoration project as the house has two centuries of grime scrubbed away. The £14m project at the home of the Duke of Devonshire sees it’s limestone front cleaned and a huge number of other features restored to their former glory.

The grounds are also home to a working farm and a farm shop providing fresh, wholesome, local produce. So be sure that wherever your Derbyshire accommodation is located in the Peak District that you put aside a full day to visit one of the jewels in Derbyshire’s crown, Chatsworth House.

All the fun with no drama

We had such a good stag do with Hard Days Knight in the Peak District, and I honestly can’t recommend them enough! From the start, they organised everything down to a tee, making it a weekend none of us will forget. The accommodation was good, comfortably fitting our group and perfectly located for everything on the itinerary. One of the absolute highlights was the Hunted activity - a mix of orienteering with a twist where you’re actually being chased! It was such a laugh and brought out everyone's competitive side, with a good bit of adrenaline thrown in. A massive thank you to Greg in particular, whose communication was faultless. He kept us updated every step of the way, answered all our questions, and went out of his way to make sure everything went smoothly. His local knowledge and enthusiasm really added to the experience and made us feel like we were in safe hands. If you're planning a stag do and want a unique, well-organised experience in the Peaks, Hard Days Knight is the way to go. Cheers to Greg and the team for a brilliant weekend - we’re still talking about it!

My brother's stag do was nothing short of amazing. We've had a myriad of activities to choose from in a wonderful location. Sadly, the Best Man, who paid the deposit for the country house we stayed in, had some disputes with the property owner, who withheld the deposit claiming damages (which were previously there). Once Hard Days Knight was informed, Greg immediately stepped in to refund our deposit out of pocket, so that he can help handle and mediate. This immediately shows us that Greg prioritises keeping our Stag Do a happy memory, and it's very much appreciated.

We had an excellent time on our brother’s stag that we organised with Greg. Cannot fault the experience, Greg was extremely helpful and efficient with putting together a great weekend in a fairly short period of time. The accommodation suggested worked out perfectly, especially with the attached pool, hot tub and games room which were an added bonus. The activities lived up to our expectations and again were well organised and timings made the whole weekend work without any issues. Everyone had a lot of fun and I would highly recommend going with HDK for any stag/ hen-do.
