The Cow Dalbury, Dalbury Lees, Derbyshire - Explore & Book

"As you enter the quiet village of Dalbury Lees, your eyes will immediately be drawn to the bright, milky-white façade of The Cow pub, which overlooks the village green. Completely refurbished in 2017, this once sleepy watering hole has been stylishly transformed into a rustic-luxe boutique inn with 12 guest rooms and a big focus on gastro wining and dining. Upon arrival we were met by charming, friendly staff who introduced us to our super-kingsize room with its spacious bathroom and sumptuous bed. The restaurant serves wonderful food – the menu has a Cornish seafood focus – in a convivial atmosphere, This reinvented pub is a genuine discovery. The rural surroundings are impressive, too. Situated a little over 10km from Derby but within striking distance of the glorious Peak District, The Cow is ideally positioned for weekend breaks in the East Midlands. An award-winning golf course is nearby, the marvellous country house Kedleston Hall is just 9.5km away, and the stunning 16th century Chatsworth House is 45 minutes down the road. However, should you wish to just hole up and relax, each room has a large-screen TV with Netflix, a well-stocked minibar – ie, enough creature comforts to keep you happy 'til the cows come home. Highs All 12 rooms deliver on comfort, with luxurious 300 thread count Egyptian cotton bed linen, plenty of space, great showers, ultra-comfy bathrobes, and even hair straighteners Head to the Peak District to view some of England’s most beautiful scenery, or ask the staff for nearby hiking optionsIdeal for a romantic getaway — and no minimum stayFabulous food — highlights include Cornish seafood and the prime Derbyshire beefThe Cow sits bang in the middle of Derbyshire's Golden Triangle, a region famed for its cheeses, farmlands and village greens Lows A car is essential for getting here and aroundThe village is quiet and unremarkable, but the pub itself is a genuine drawNot really suited to families. The Cow is best for couples or business travellers tired of soulless hotel chainsIf you’re not fond of cattle, beware – the bovine theme is all encompassing, from milk-churn bar stools to cow paintings covering the walls (their eyes follow you everywhere) Noise from the kitchen can filter into ground-floor rooms" - Kate Parsons

Stayed here for a night away from the kids. Great room. Very comfy bed and excellent food. Booked it through Mr & Mrs Smith and didnt know what to expect as it was in the middle of nowhere. However, for a night away and a meal, we couldn’t asked for nicer. The staff were so helpful and great. It was exactly what good hospitality should be.

Wonderful Sunday lunch at the Cow. First time visiting the Cow. Lovely setting in the countryside. Service was excellent, prompt and super helpful. Good menu, recommend the beef. Food is piping hot and the vegetables fresh. Nice selection of desserts, the Banoffee pie was delightful. Menu contained good set menu. Building has a country charm which adds to the experience. Highly recommend.

Very comfortable rooms and excellent service. Restaurant has a wide range of good quality options. Parking a bit tight later in the evenings - would have been nice to have dedicated residents spaces. It is a bit remote being a few miles down narrow lanes from the main highways, but still reasonably accessible for Derby and Ashbourne

Recently stayed at The Cow for a few days. Lovely area. Room was very comfortable. Food - Dinner and a couple of Breaksfasts were excellent, would highly recommend. Service and Staff we all very acconmodating and I would have taken the chef home, whoever he or she was... well done them. Car park can get a tad full but that's the only criticism.

Rooms are lovely and chic however the noise is unbelievable. I was on the ground floor and all i could hear from 6am was phones ringing, glasses smashing and staff talking in the corridors. If you are a light sleeper you will struggle with this just as much as i did. Also the guy that works behind the bar was a bit of a mood killer. Very pointed and sarcastic individual. Maybe he was having a bad day.

We stayed here one night on the way home from London, to celebrate our 2 year wedding anniversary. Great first impressions, lovely bar area! We were shown to our room and everything was lovely, clean and cosy. Really gorgeous bathroom, big bath and luxurious products. Bathrobes were a nice touch. We enjoyed a bottle of Prosecco in our room before heading to dinner. Really good food, staff were all fantastic and I couldn’t really fault a thing. Thanks for a wonderful nights stay!
