Cheshire Cheese Inn
About
The Cheshire Cheese Inn is a spectacular 16th‑century country pub and inn nestled in the heart of Hope, Peak District. Renowned for its cozy, timeless ambience, the pub boasts an open‑fire hearth and a rustic timber interior that transport guests back to an earlier, simpler day. Outside, the front garden offers a welcoming space for a measure of picnicking, while the adjoining free‑parking area makes it easy for motorists to arrive. Dining is a highlight, with a menu that focuses on high‑quality, locally sourced produce. From hearty Sunday roasts to a range of artisanal cheeses, and a well‑curated selection of real ales on tap, the food is warm and generous. The bistro also offers a children’s menu, gluten‑free and vegan options, and a lighter suite of “Lite Bites” for those looking for something less substantial. For the overnight traveller, the inn provides five ensuite guest rooms ranging from super‑king to king sizes, each fitted with a cosy flat‑screen TV, tea and coffee facilities, and a private shower. The rooms sit above the pub, offering a unique loft‑style layout with a shared day‑room leisure area and a welcoming kitchenette. Situated at the foot of Losehill, the Inn is the ideal base for exploring the surrounding Peak District walks, including popular haunts such as Chatsworth House, Mam Tor, and the Caverns at Castleton. Whether you’re in it for a meal, a night’s rest, or a day of walking, The Cheshire Cheese Inn offers a quintessential English countryside experience with modern convenience and historic charm.
