The comfortable corner sofa is the perfect spot to relax after a day out exploring and adventuring with your favourite movie or box set playing on the Smart TV.

For visitors big and small, there are plenty of attractions to visit and famous landscapes to explore nearby; imagine climbing at Black Rocks (1 mile) or walking the circular route through the nearby forests. Head to the start of the High Peak Trail (1 mile) for 16 miles of traffic-free walking or cycling adventures. If history calls, the prestigious Chatsworth House (15 miles) is where Pride and Prejudice was filmed. Stop off at Bakewell (12.5 miles), a town that’s packed with history and purchase a traditional Bakewell pudding.

Well-placed for railway enthusiasts and walkers: the High Peak Trail is just up the road (and could be reached by bus on lazy days) - a fascinating peice of industrial archaeology. Good local walks minutes away. And lots of good places to eat.
