Bridgford Ram Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 At the end of April it will be 20 years since I met my wife. As a surprise I am wanting to take her into Derbyshire for a couple of days walking and wonder if anyone has a B&B they have stayed at that they would recommend? If not I make book a night at Makeney Hall (we got married there) but we have done most the walks round that part of Derbyshire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistoldPete2 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Good question. Not Makeney Hall... have you tried callow hall in ashbourne? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dog Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Dog and partridge (I think) swinscoe. Stayed there for a night with the old man and me dog. Good food and beer. Legend has it that Brazil's 1966 team stayed there. Nicely near dovedale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Warrabout Castleton? Nice area, I stopped in the Ye olde Cheshire Cheese about 16 years ago, wouldn't recommend it then mind, but I bet there's plenty of guest houses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Happens Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Its not a B&B but still nice, Darwin Forest holiday lodges high up over matlock. We have been a few times its close enough to not take long to get there but up there it really does seem like a totally different place. You have Chatsworth, Bakewell and Matlock all a short distance away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Le Mesmer Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I recommend the area around baslow. Chatsworth, walks by the river, Bakewell, eyam hall and plague village with plenty of walks, the longshaw estate walks are beautiful, if you feel brave there is the wonderfully quaint Hathersage open air pool then you've got Castleton and Peveril Castle all within about 10 miles. The Wheatsheaf Hotel in Baslow do rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would back that up, when we went in August our room wasn't ready, then they hadn't made up the kids bed, the beds were uncomfortable, the carpet was dirty and stained and the staff at breakfast were useless.
