Set mid-way betwen Ashbourne and Buxton, this charming B&B has one of the best locations for visitors to the Peak District. Nestled within a 17th-century country manor house, the hotel offers beautifully appointed guestrooms and a traditional restaurant, in addition to excellent access to walking routes in the dales. The homely atmosphere has earned this hotel loyal guests, and advance booking is a must.
The B&B itself has 8 acres of grounds, including extensive gardens great for a game of croquet. The property is a Grade II-listed building and features an eclectic mix of construction styles, from the Mannerist doorway with Stuart influences to the classic Cotswold structure of the main house. Inside, guestrooms have been decorated with an avid eye for detail, and in some rooms preserved heritage details like exposed wooden beams give the sense of travelling back in time.
The lounge and library are the setting for pre-dinner drinks at this hotel, something of a reunion point for regular visitors. Dinner is a lesson in the best of British, and there are options for packed lunches which will come in handy on walks. There is easy access to the Tissington Trail from this hotel, as well as numerous cycle routes. There is cycle storage onsite, plus umbrellas and a drying room - everything you need for an active weekend in the Peak District.
