There's no denying, there are some rather picture perfect spots here in Britain that are perfect for your next staycation in the UK. If you're considering a getaway in the idyllic Derbyshire countryside, then we've rounded up the best hotels in the Peak District to inspire your next holiday.
If you're not familiar with the Peaks, it's an area of outstanding natural beauty in the UK, full of stunning scenery, mountains, cosy countryside pubs and protected meadows. It's also a lot more affordable than many other UK countryside retreats such as the Lake District or the Cotswolds but in our opinion, is equally as beautiful.
In 1952, the Peak District was awarded National Park status, making it the very first place in the UK to achieve this status, and since then, lovers of walking holidays and the great outdoors have been flocking to Derbyshire to holiday in this protected landscape.
From quiet hideaways to luxury retreats, there are plenty of different accommodation options to choose from. To narrow things down for you, we've rounded up our top pick of the best hotels in the Peak District national park.

Outside is a large deck where you can spend evenings stargazing with a hot cup of cocoa surrounded by nature.

The recently refurbished Buxton Crescent is located right in the centre of the town within easy walking distant from tea rooms, pubs and independent shops. Home to three luxurious pools, this hotel is the perfect place to relax after a long day of exploring. There’s also a bar and restaurant for dining or even room service if you fancy a night in.
