The Old Station House Bed & Breakfast, Rowsley, Bakewell, Derbyshire, The Peak District
Situated in the heart of the Peak District, The Old Station House is one of the closest B&Bs to Chatsworth House, and probably the most reasonably priced.
The Old Station House is located in the charming village of Rowsley near Bakewell in Derbyshire in the southeastern corner of the Peak District National Park. The beautiful house was designed in 1850 by Joseph Paxton, the year before he built the famous Crystal Palace for the Great Exhibition in London.
The bed & breakfast has three en-suite guest bedrooms and plenty of off-road parking. It is the perfect base for exploring the surrounding area. There are two double rooms and one twin which has extra long (6' 6") beds that can be converted into a super king for multiple night stays.
Rowsley is part of the Haddon Estate owned by the Duke of Rutland. The village lies at the junction of the rivers Wye and Derwent along the A6 between Matlock and Bakewell. The oldest part of the village dates from the seventeenth century and includes the former dower house for Haddon Hall, built in 1652 and now the Peacock Hotel. Rowsley is home to Caudwell's Mill, a Grade II listed historic flour mill which is powered by water from the river Wye. A mill has stood here for over 400 years and the present building is now a museum. The site also has a shop selling freshly milled flour, the Country Parlour Cafe and a craft centre with workshops including glass blowing and blacksmiths.
Peak Village, a factory outlet shopping centre, is also in Rowsley. As well as various shops, this Peak Village also has a restaurant and the Toys of Yesteryear exhibition. There are also two art galleries in the village; Gallery Top opposite The Old Station House and Derwent Wye Fine Art next to Caudwell's Mill.
