Country living at the Peak District’s poshest estate
Revamped last summer by interior designer Nicola Harding, the Cavendish hotel on Derbyshire’s Chatsworth Estate is a mix of antique flounce (Harding was allowed to raid the “big house”, a 1.5-mile walk away) and contemporary sharpness (jolly stripes, pops of colour). A new exhibition, The Gorgeous Nothings: Flowers at Chatsworth (15 March-5 October), celebrates the estate’s blooms in all their forms, from artworks to rare botanical volumes.
