The 16th-century Chequers Inn is situated below Froggatt Edge amidst the spectacular beauty of the Peak District. Owners Jonathan and Joanne Tindall ensure customers always receive a warm welcome, and have a relaxed and enjoyable time of dining or staying.

With its original oak beams, open fires, library chairs, and high-backed settees, the seductive little bar encourages you to forget the cares of modern life and indulge in a tasty traditional meal of, say, confit of duck leg with braised red cabbage and roasted plums, a main course of pan-fried calves liver with mash, pancetta and fruit chutney, or swordfish with wild mushroom, artichoke and port reduction, and a decadent dessert of orange and passion fruit tart with mulled fruits.

The inn's traditional ales and reasonable choice of wines rarely disappoints. The accommodation is warm and simple, with five thoughtfully furnished and well kept ensuite bedrooms.
