Peak District Hotels ()

Set amongst the rolling hills of the Peak District, the Cavendish Hotel is a short walk from Chatsworth House, one of Britain's favourite country homes. As part of the Duke of Devonshire's family estate, much of the decor and furnishings in the hotel come from Chatsworth. Luxuriously appointed, the historic Inn Rooms feature fine art and antique furniture, some with original iron fireplaces and four poster beds. Dine in the sumptuous surrounds of the Gallery Restaurant, or in the heart of its award-winning kitchen. Freshly baked scones topped with delicious homemade jams can be enjoyed in the Garden Room and, waking up rested in the Derbyshire Dales, guests can take breakfast at their leisure, served daily until noon. A warm welcome awaits. There is free Wi-Fi and ample free on-site parking.

Originally a 16th century mansion, ivy-clad Whitley Hall Hotel is set in peaceful grounds with two lakes and fine oak trees. The hotel offers a quiet retreat from the hustle and bustle of Sheffield, which is 6 miles away, and is easily accessed from the M1, which is two miles away. Meadowhall, the Peak District National Park and the cultural attractions of Sheffield are all within easy reach. Bedrooms at the hotel are of a 4-star standard. All are beautifully decorated and feature both free Wi-Fi and cabled broadband internet access. The hotel restaurant serves outstanding food and has been awarded two AA Rosettes.

Etrop Grange Hotel is a Grade II listed Georgian mansion with period charm and a chic interior - a refreshing alternative to everyday airport hotels. Manchester Airport and the M56 are 2 minutes from the hotel which has ample free parking and operates free airport transfers. Recent investment has transformed Etrop Grange into a boutique-style country house hotel. Bedrooms are luxurious and many have brass or four-poster beds. Café Etrop takes in views of the terraced gardens.
