For 25 years, The Sitwell Arms Hotel has been more than just a place to stay. It’s a local landmark. A spot where celebrations turn into memories, where Sunday lunches stretch into the afternoon, it’s the kind of place locals love and visitors talk about.

An Ideal Location for Both Business and Pleasure

The family took the reins back in 2000, and under the leadership of Managing Director Jo-Anne Oldfield, the hotel has grown with heart and soul at its core. Jo-Anne has spent over three decades shaping the Sitwell into what it is today, supported by Executive Chef Daniel Nutt, who’s been wowing diners for just as long, and General Manager John Makin, whose hospitality know-how keeps everything running smoothly.

Over the years we’ve poured love, graft and investment into every corner of the hotel. From fresh refurbishments to the launch of The House at The Sitwell Arms (a gorgeous self-catering property complete with hot tub and games room), we’re always evolving while keeping the character that makes us who we are.

A Place with Personality

We’re proudly independent, and that shows. You won’t find corporate copy-and-paste here. Every detail is shaped by real people who care. Our team knows guests by name, our wedding couples feel like part of the family, and our food keeps locals coming back week after week.

Weddings here are special. With six acres of gardens, rose orchards, a lake and beautifully restored function rooms, couples fall in love with the setting as much as the team behind it. With over 100 years of combined wedding experience, we know how to make those once-in-a-lifetime moments feel effortless.

First class hotel, excellent service, room was spotless and food top quality. Thankyou for an enjoyable stay.

Perfectly Placed

Sitting between Sheffield and Chesterfield, we’ve got the best of both worlds. Explore nearby Renishaw Hall and Gardens, take the kids to Gulliver’s Valley just down the road, or enjoy Sheffield’s buzzing nightlife. Or simply stay put. Grab a bite in the bar, relax in the grounds, or treat yourself to a special meal in the restaurant.

This isn’t just another hotel. It’s The Sitwell Arms. Family run. Full of character. Loved by locals and visitors alike. And after 25 years, we’re only just getting started.
