The Boars Head – JC Hotels in Derbyshire

Owned by the Crooks family since 1984, The Boars Head is one of the best hotels in Derbyshire! We have a historic building originally part of the Vernon Estate, which was transformed into the popular hotel we have today with the addition of 23 bedrooms in 1990.

Situated in 8 and a half acres of Derbyshire countryside, it’s an idyllic destination whether you’re looking for a relaxing week away, or simply a night when passing through. The Boars Head is tastefully decorated to please all, with our stylish yet traditional interior and highly finished rooms instantly making you feel at home. If you’re looking to dine, then our renowned gastropub, popular traditional carvery and extensive bar menu ensure there really is something for everyone. For more information contact our friendly team.
