Ladybower Inn  

On the edge of the Peak District in rural Derbyshire, the Ladybower Inn sits beside Ladybower Reservoir in Hope Valley. This quaint stone gastropub is minutes from Win Hill and the Dambuster dams, with Blue Circle (Hope) Golf Club and the Botanical Gardens close by — ideal for dog-friendly, countryside getaways.

A compact, characterful guest house with seven en suite rooms, many dog-friendly and some with direct reservoir views. Rooms include tea and coffee making facilities, flat-screen TVs, toiletries and hairdryers; accessibility features and family rooms are available. Check-in from 15:00, check-out by 10:00; minimum check-in age is 18.

The property doubles as a lively stone pub serving real ales and homecooked fare, with outdoor furniture, darts and board games for relaxed evenings. Practical perks include free Wi‑Fi throughout, secure and street parking, packed lunches, daily housekeeping, luggage storage, pet bowls and walking/cycling routes nearby — wake up to reservoir light and fresh Peak District air.

Free Wi‑Fi across the property and on-site parking make short work of staying connected. Staff can help with transfers, tour bookings and other concierge-style services.

On-site gastropub and bar serve homecooked, traditional British pub fare and a rotating selection of real ales. Special-diet menus are available on request, and the team can arrange packed lunches or light treats like chocolate and cookies for the road.
