For­mer pub / hotel offer­ing an unique and spa­cious accom­mo­da­tion for large groups

Bam­ford, Derbyshire 

The Der­went is an extreme­ly spa­cious prop­er­ty that has been con­vert­ed from a hotel/​pub into a fab­u­lous self cater­ing venue

The Der­went is an extreme­ly spa­cious prop­er­ty that has been con­vert­ed from a hotel/​pub into a fab­u­lous self cater­ing venue. Retain­ing many orig­i­nal fea­tures, the con­ver­sion pro­vides an amaz­ing venue for groups. The Der­went is per­fect for friends & fam­i­lies, and offers a total­ly dif­fer­ent unique con­cept for any spe­cial celebration.

The impres­sive ren­o­va­tion pro­vides you with 16 bou­tique style bed­rooms (with flex­i­ble bed options) with plen­ty of brand new en suites and shared bathrooms.

The down­stairs main social area flows from room to room with two lounge areas, a ful­ly equipped fit­ted kitchen stocked with every­thing you need to self cater for large groups. We know that one of the most impor­tant aspect of a group book­ing is to be able to com­fort­ably dine and socialise togeth­er, we can offer a spa­cious din­ing room with the bar area of the for­mer pub kept for dec­o­ra­tion pur­pos­es to add to that ​‘pub’ feel.

For your enter­tain­ment we have added a games room with pool table, table foot­ball and dart board. Out­side there is a patio with BBQ area and a pri­vate garden.

Sit­u­at­ed in the Upper Der­went Val­ley in the heart of the Peak Dis­trict, The Der­went enjoys a prime loca­tion in the for­mer mill-vil­lage Bam­ford which occu­pies the hill­side under­neath Bam­ford Edge and above the Riv­er Derwent.

Pop­u­lar areas of the Peak Dis­trict are very acces­si­ble Castle­ton, Hope Val­ley, Edale, Hather­sage, Lady Bow­er Reser­voir, Chatsworth are all a short dri­ve away.

Local Area

Enjoy­ing an envi­able posi­tion in the heart of The Peak Dis­trict Nation­al Park, The Der­went offers so many inter­est­ing places to explore nearby.

Bam­ford is a for­mer mill-vil­lage and occu­pies the hill­side under­neath Bam­ford Edge and above the Riv­er Der­went and is per­fect­ly sit­u­at­ed in the heart of The Peak Dis­trict. There is a lot more to the vil­lage than can be seen when just pass­ing through. It has some love­ly qui­et cor­ners and the Der­went is espe­cial­ly pret­ty around the millpool just above the mill itself. The impres­sive weir can be admired from the foot­bridge below the mill that car­ries the Pub­lic Foot­path across to the south bank.

At the bot­tom end of the vil­lage there is the rail­way sta­tion, which very con­ve­nient­ly links Bam­ford with both Man­ches­ter and Sheffield. At the cen­tre of the vil­lage there are some shops and a cou­ple of pubs nearby.

Bam­ford Edge is a fine grit­stone edge which over­looks the vil­lage and offers a great view of Lady­bow­er. The view from the edge is very worthwhile.

Right on your doorstep is Lady Bow­er & How­den Reser­voir and the Upper Der­went Val­ley which is absolute­ly stun­ning to vis­it whether you walk­ing, fish­ing or cycle around it. Not only is it a nat­u­ral­ly beau­ti­ful area, but also steeped in his­to­ry, dur­ing the Sec­ond World War the reser­voir was used by pilots of the 617 Squadron for prac­tis­ing the low-lev­el flights need­ed for Oper­a­tion Chas­tise (com­mon­ly known as the ​“Dam Busters” raids), due to its sim­i­lar­i­ty to the Ger­man dams. Today there is a com­mem­o­ra­tive plaque to 617 Squadron on the dam, and one of the tow­ers on the dam hous­es the Der­went Val­ley Muse­um. There is a vis­i­tors cen­tre, Fish­ing boat hire and a cycle hire.

Found­ed in 1898 Sick­le­holme Golf Club is a friend­ly club nestling in the heart of the beau­ti­ful Peak Dis­trict in Der­byshire in the vil­lage of Bam­ford with­in walk­ing dis­tance to The Der­went. With an undu­lat­ing park­land course of 6,064 yards, (ladies 5,399 yards) and stun­ning views, it is hard to find a more spec­tac­u­lar or pic­turesque venue. After play­ing the great course Bob­by Locke was so impressed that a paint­ing of the 13th hole graced his home man­tel­piece in South Africa for many years. Some test­ing holes await you on the impec­ca­bly man­i­cured course with envi­able greens, which have all seen exten­sive improve­ments over recent years. The nature of the course and the care which is lav­ished on it, results in it rarely being closed dur­ing the win­ter months. Sick­le­holme wel­comes vis­it­ing groups.

A short dri­ve away, pop­u­lar areas of the Peak Dis­trict are very acces­si­ble Bakewell, Castle­ton, Hope Val­ley, Edale, Hather­sage and Chatsworth.
