About Us

Rooted in nearly half a century of family hospitality, The H Boutique Hotel is an independent, family-run hotel in the heart of Bakewell. Founded by Terry Proctor, the business has developed over four generations, evolving from the original Bakewell Hotel into the contemporary boutique hotel it is today.

Although the hotel has changed considerably over the years, our commitment to genuine hospitality has remained at the heart of everything we do. We pride ourselves on offering a warm welcome, attentive service and a relaxed atmosphere in which every guest can feel comfortable and well looked after.

Our 15 individually designed bedrooms combine contemporary style with a distinctive sense of place. Each room is named after a location in the Peak District and features carefully selected fabrics, local artwork and photography. Thoughtful details, quality furnishings and comfortable beds help create a restful setting after a day spent exploring the surrounding area.

All bedrooms are fully air-conditioned and include complimentary Wi-Fi, a flat-screen television, tea and coffee-making facilities and toiletries from The White Company. Our Superior King and Twin rooms feature a super king-size bed that can also be configured as two single beds, providing flexibility for couples, friends and families travelling together. Selected rooms also offer additional features such as Jacuzzi baths and walk-in showers.

The hotel’s central Bakewell location places guests within easy walking distance of the town’s independent shops, cafés, restaurants and historic attractions. Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, the Monsal Trail and many of the Peak District’s most beautiful villages, walking routes and cycling trails are also within easy reach.

Whether you are visiting for a romantic break, a walking or cycling holiday, a family occasion or simply a relaxing escape, The H Boutique Hotel provides a comfortable and welcoming base from which to experience Bakewell and the wider Peak District.

As a family-run hotel, we understand that the smallest details can make the greatest difference. Our team is always happy to offer local recommendations, assist with arrangements and help guests make the most of their time in Derbyshire.

“Hospitality is our passion, ensuring your stay is memorable.”
