Walks from the doorstep, views of Peak District hills, a peaceful garden, breakfast feasts and comfortable bedrooms… it's no surprise that Underleigh wins so much praise. 'A fabulous old house in a beautiful, quiet setting,' writes a reader this year. Vivienne Taylor's handsome stone longhouse has a 'pretty, quiet garden with wonderful views' – and inside, there are glowing lamps and deep sofas in the fire-warmed lounge. 'Vivienne is the most wonderful host', who offers guests tea and cake every day – 'so welcome after a ten-mile walk'. Bedrooms, with those lovely views, are elegant with pretty wallpaper, pale-painted furniture, an occasional antique, and are spotlessly clean. Three are suites with large sofas; one opens to the garden. Thoughtful touches include bathrobes and fresh milk. 'Our bedroom was extremely comfortable and had its own sitting room.' 'An excellent breakfast with a delicious, wide range of dishes' is served at a large table in the beamed and flagged dining room. Expect homemade bread and compotes, Derbyshire oatcakes, Aga-cooked porridge, eggs Benedict, and a full grill. Vivienne can advise on walks from the door. 'I can't praise this place enough.'
