An Ideal Location for Nature Enthusiasts
Positioned on Baslow Road in Eastmoor, The Hide is perfectly situated for those seeking to reconnect with nature. The surrounding moorland provides endless opportunities for outdoor exploration, from scenic walks to cycling adventures. After a day immersed in the great outdoors, guests can return to a warm, inviting environment designed with relaxation in mind.
Stylish and Comfortable Accommodation
The hotel section of The Hide, housed in a separate building just steps from the restaurant, features thoughtfully designed rooms that blend comfort with practicality.

Natural tones and wooden finishes throughout the décor create a calming, restful atmosphere that reflects the Derbyshire landscape visible from the windows. For those travelling with pets, dog-friendly rooms are available, ensuring no family member is left behind. The attention to detail extends to practical features like boot storage areas and wash stations, keeping muddy gear separate from living spaces.
Exceptional Dining Experience
Overseen by executive chef Adam Harper, The Hide Grill and Pizzeria draws inspiration from classic outdoor cooking while emphasising locally sourced ingredients. The menu showcases produce from estate farms and trusted regional suppliers, resulting in dishes that celebrate Derbyshire's culinary heritage.
Memorable Culinary Highlights
On a chilly winter evening, the restaurant's offerings proved particularly inviting. Starters included succulent BBQ prawns with garlic, lemon and parsley butter glaze alongside flavourful smoked fishcakes served with Cajun sauce—both dishes setting high expectations for the main courses.
The extensive menu caters to diverse tastes, featuring steaks, salads, rib plates, stone-baked pizzas, fish dishes and BBQ tofu. A standout main course was the pork belly, brined and smoked with brown sugar before being slow-cooked to perfection. The meat literally melted in the mouth, delivering sweet, smoky flavours reminiscent of childhood bonfire nights. Served with skin-on fries, crunchy onion rings and a sharp slaw that balanced the richness, it provided a deeply satisfying dining experience.
Although too full for dessert, those with a sweet tooth can choose from tempting options like a S'mores sharing board, ginger parkin or affogato. The restaurant also offers breakfast, all-day dining and Sunday lunch menus, ensuring delicious options throughout your stay.
Warm Hospitality and Practical Amenities
The friendly and helpful restaurant staff contributed significantly to the relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere. Beyond the dining experience, The Hide demonstrates thoughtful planning for outdoor enthusiasts with dedicated boot rooms, wash stations, dog washing facilities and secure cycle storage.
Rates for a Cosy Room start from £99 per night on a room-only basis for two people, including all taxes and fees. This represents excellent value for a getaway that combines comfortable accommodation, exceptional food and direct access to some of England's most beautiful countryside.
Whether you're planning a romantic escape, an active outdoor holiday or simply seeking tranquillity amidst stunning scenery, The Hide delivers on all fronts. With its perfect location near Chatsworth Estate, cosy rooms and emphasis on locally sourced dining, it stands out as a premier choice for experiencing the Peak District.
