“Set within the Peak District National Park, this 17th-century country house grants direct access to the Dovedale Stepping Stones and private fishing on the River Dove. The AA 2 Rosette awarded dining here is a highlight, and the property's history as a literary guesthouse adds to its charm; however, updates are needed. A stay here offers both natural beauty and historical significance.”
