Some of our favourite Town and Village stays
We adore hopping into charming towns and cosy villages - strolling through narrow lanes, spotting quirky shop windows and soaking up that friendly neighbourly buzz. Book into one of our town and village hotels and let the adventure begin.
The Rockingham arms, Wentworth
This 19th-century gem - built from the same stone as the village's picturesque cottages - delivers all the character and cosy vibes you crave.
With just 11 bedrooms and space for 30 guests, it’s the perfect blend of intimate inn and wedding‑reception venue. Inside, expect period panache with modern perks: comfy beds with crisp linens, en‑suite bathrooms, and all the tea-and-coffee-making essentials to keep you fuelled.
Step outside, and the peaceful village of Wentworth is your playground—no car needed. Wander over to the magnificent Grade I–listed Wentworth Woodhouse, and don’t miss nearby attractions like the Peak District, Rother Valley Country Park, Roche Abbey, Wentworth Castle, and the Magna Science Adventure Centre. Feeling urban? Sheffield’s shopping, culture, and history are just a short drive away.
The Castle, Bakewell
Tucked inside a beautifully preserved 16th‑century inn beside the gentle River Wye, the Castle Inn is your charming gateway to Bakewell’s historic market‑town magic. Its rustic stone and timber façade promises a step back in time - and inside awaits a cosy bar, elegant restaurant, and beautifully styled en‑suite rooms designed for relaxed evenings and restorative sleep, complete with free Wi‑Fi and parking.
Best of all? You’re right in the heart of Bakewell: ideal for having a mooch around the quaint shops and cafes. However, if you're looking to mix in some sightseeing with your stay - why not head out to visit local attractions including Chatsworth House and Garden, the Heights of Abraham and Crich Tramway village. After a great day out, head back to the hotel to tuck into some traditional food and drink at our on-site pub.
Dog & Partridge, Bury St Edmunds
The Dog & Partridge isn't just a charming destination - it's the perfect base to explore Bury St Edmunds and the surrounding Suffolk countryside. Externally, it captures the classic allure of a traditional inn, and inside, you’ll find nine beautifully appointed rooms combining tasteful décor with modern comfort.
Step out the door and into the heart of Bury St Edmunds: wander historic streets lined with boutique shops and cosy cafés, explore the majestic Abbey ruins and St Edmundsbury Cathedral, or dive into the town’s brewing legacy at the Greene King Beer Café and brewery tours. With its blend of comfort, character, and countryside charm, the Dog & Partridge makes the ideal base for discovery - whether you’re staying in town or heading further afield.
