At The Ladybower Inn, we believe great hospitality starts with great people.
From the moment you arrive, every member of our team plays a role in creating memorable experiences for our guests. Whether it’s a warm welcome at the bar, a perfectly prepared bedroom, a well-cooked meal or simply a friendly conversation after a day exploring the Peak District, our people are at the heart of everything we do.
Led by owner Tom Lawson, our team shares a simple goal: to deliver genuine hospitality in a location we are proud to call home.
We are passionate about creating a culture built around ownership, consistency and continuous improvement. Every member of the team is encouraged to take pride in their work, support one another and help shape the future of The Ladybower Inn.
As our business grows, so does our team, and we look forward to introducing more of the people behind The Ladybower Inn over the coming months.
Our Philosophy
Ownership creates standards.
Consistency creates culture.
Culture creates reputation.
Reputation creates opportunity.
These principles guide how we work, how we support each other and how we look after our guests every day.
