CAVENDISH HOTEL & CHATSWORTH FARM SHOP

Cavendish Hotel was our favorite hotel of the trip. Sitting on the property of Chatsworth made it even better.


My usual faves are everywhere--stone facade, white framed windows, climbing roses, with a bit of lilac thrown in.


Cavendish is the family name of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire.




                                             That's Miss Leslie waving from our window.


                   And here is the view from our room.  Is there a bad view in the English countryside?


          Caramel, cream, and pinky-red is a favorite combination of mine.  Just right for the front room.


                                                  Public rooms for reading or chatting.


The hallway to our room - I'm always smitten by striped walls.


Almost didn't post--why can't I remember to take a picture before our stuff is strewn all over the place?


                                 Blues and silvers invited us right into this elegant dining room.



          Chatsworth Farm Shop was a must on our list.  We picked up breakfast for the next morning.


                                                     Look at all that smoked salmon.        




          Couldn't decide between gooseberry or bramble and apple yogurt.  So bought both. Yum.


                                                    A little happy hour at the end of the day.

  1. Wonderful. Like living in history...except for the messy room. Brings you to the here and now.
