Nestled in the picturesque village of Castleton, Rose Cottage Café & Bistro has been a welcoming haven for visitors since 1890. This charming, family-run establishment has found the perfect blend of traditional and modern, making it a must-visit spot for anyone exploring the Peak District.

The café takes pride in serving freshly prepared hot meals, homemade cakes, and savoury snacks. Collaborating closely with local farmers, they bring the best of the Hope Valley directly to your plate. From hearty breakfasts to indulgent lunches, the menu caters to a variety of tastes and dietary needs, with several gluten-free and vegan options available.

For those after a comforting cuppa or something a little stronger, Rose Cottage has you covered. Their coffee is expertly crafted using premium beans, with a wide selection of teas to choose from as well. And for a touch of indulgence, don’t miss their deluxe hot chocolate—rich, creamy, and topped with all the trimmings. As a fully licensed freehouse, the café also serves a range of local ales and well-known beers, including collaborations with Thornbridge Brewery and Buxton Brewery.

The ambiance of Rose Cottage is as inviting as its menu. In the warmer months, the garden provides a perfect spot for outdoor dining, with breathtaking views of the surrounding Derbyshire countryside. As the seasons turn colder, the log-burning fire inside creates a cosy atmosphere—perfect for warming up after a bracing walk through the nearby caves or along the surrounding trails.

Whether you’re passing through for a coffee and cake or planning a leisurely lunch after a hike, Rose Cottage Café & Bistro offers delicious, locally sourced food and a warm welcome in the heart of one of the Peak District’s most beautiful villages. As soon as you step inside you’ll feel instantly welcomed by the friendly team, and dreamy interior. Grab your four legged friend and pay them a visit, this is a seriously special gem, in an equally special location.
