In a Grade I listed Georgian crescent to rival Bath's, this spa hotel was launched in 2020 after a 17-year transformation.

Both culture and nature are on your doorstep at Maggi and Gerard Heelan's 'excellent B&B guesthouse' just five minutes' walk from the Opera House in this splendid Peak District spa town.

Just 15 minutes from the city centre, this boutique town house hotel offers a wide choice of individually styled rooms, relaxing lounges, a terrace and bar for relaxed deli dining.

Their backgrounds are in finance and marketing, but Mujtaba and Amelia Rana must have their hearts in hospitality and design.

With walks from the doorstep, views of Peak District hills, a peaceful garden, breakfast feasts and restful bedrooms, it's no surprise that Underleigh wins so much praise.

This old pub in a tiny rural village had stood empty and rotting for years when it was rescued and revived, with smart bedrooms in a converted piggery, and cooking of a very high order.

In a picturesque Pennines village, this traditional coaching inn has 18 bedrooms, some with beams, some with roof window, an informal brasserie, and a restaurant serving pub classics and more inventive dishes.

A Peak District former shooting lodge 'in a pretty walled garden' on the Derbyshire Wye, this hotel has been completely refurbished by new owners, restaurateurs Alistair Myers and Tom Lawson.

Readers are unanimous in their praise for James Moffett's Peak District Hotel, a 17th-centiry gem, a paradise for walkers, where the welcome is friendly, the hospitality generous and the cooking hearty.

A rustic aspect belies the rather smart interiors at this pub on the Chatsworth estate serving pub classics and more imaginative fare.
