The hamlet of Rowland is situated on a quiet country lane with a handful of other dwellings, in the heart of the Peak District, Derbyshire. We are surrounded by open countryside where fields are home to sheep, a milk herd and highland cattle. Nestled into the hillside below Longstone Edge where chickens roam the neighbouring gardens , Rowland is an idyllic and relaxing place to stay. The local closest hostelry can be found within walking distance just a mile away and is The White Lion at Great Longstone which is a smart country pub and presently has to be booked in advance. Hassop Station cafe is open until 9pm and is a 35 mins walk across fields and lies on the Monsal Trail. For more fine dining as well as traditional pub classics in a beautiful country pub, is The Devonshire Arms in the beautiful village of Beeley 6 miles away. If you like fine dining as well as pub classics but in a more bistro setting then Rowleys in Baslow is for you. Bakewell has a good Indian-rajhas and the Woodyard has an extensive menu and lies on the river. There are a few pubs in Bakewell too . In the summer, The Garden room at the Cavendish hotel in Baslow , has spectacular views over the Chatsworth estate but booking is essential at the moment.

The Boot Room at Sycamore Cottage is set in the heart of the countryside in Rowland which is three miles away from the lively market town of Bakewell where buses run regularly to neighbouring villages, towns and the Chatsworth Estate.
