The Plough Inn - 4-Star Hotel in Hathersage

The Plough Inn offers free parking and an EV charging station for guests arriving by electric car. A large beer garden with terrace seating overlooks the River Derwent, and live music events take place on warmer evenings. The bar serves locally brewed ales and a diverse drink menu alongside freshly cooked meals using seasonal ingredients.

Rooms are located in the main inn, a converted outbuilding, or in one of the three shepherd huts set on a private green behind the pub. Each shepherd hut has a log burner, ensuite bathroom, and outdoor space with views of the surrounding hills. The huts are compact but offer a self-contained stay with a double bed and tea/coffee facilities.

Breakfast is served daily with a cooked full English option and a continental buffet that includes homemade granola. Evening meals feature pub favourites such as steak and ale pie, fish and chips, and a daily-changing specials board. The restaurant uses locally sourced produce, and gluten-free or vegetarian dishes are available on request.

The inn sits on the banks of the River Derwent, a 15-minute walk from Hathersage village centre and train station. Nearby attractions include Chatsworth House (9 miles), Haddon Hall, and the historic plague village of Eyam. The Hope Valley and Stanage Edge provide direct access to hiking trails and rock climbing routes.

Dogs are welcome in designated rooms and in the bar and restaurant areas, with a £15 per night charge. The inn offers family-sized rooms with sofa beds and cots on request. The garden space is enclosed, allowing children and pets to play safely while parents dine outdoors.
