An Edwardian homage to 17th-century style, this beautiful manor house with rich Jacobean-inspired interiors is run as a luxury hotel with fine-dining restaurant where you can enjoy a 'truly memorable meal'. House bedrooms have fine antique furniture, views to the Derbyshire Dales or over beautiful, well-tended gardens and arboretum. Annexe rooms in their own walled garden have a more contemporary look. Four, on the ground floor, have a bath and walk-in shower. All have an espresso machine, handmade biscuits and luxury toiletries. Head chef John Shuttleworth offers creative menus, with dishes such as wood pigeon wellington with Jerusalem artichoke and smoked walnut, or poached cod loin with saffron risotto. 'Each course was a flavour bomb. The wine pairings were excellent choices too.' There are options for all appetite sizes, allowing you to opt for three courses, six courses or the full tasting menu. You can also pay extra to sit on the 'Kitchen Bench'. 'Service is second to none.' In short: 'an unforgettable stay'.
