Florence Nightingale Suites at Lea Hurst

This is simply an unrivalled, perfect location to unwind, relax, wander and wonder at the awesome views and sublime peace. Thoughtfully and elegantly decorated throughout, this historic home is a no-brainer for a countryside stay with all the feels. For a romantic stay away, at the gateway to Derbyshire and The Peak District - ideal for sightseeing with a wonderful welcome after your day out - this can be a base for adventure or a marvellous place to simply sit and listen to the clock ticking and warm yourself by the real fire in the heart. Peter and his team left me wanting for nothing during my visit. Beautiful breakfast custom made to order, plush bed and bedding, soft towels, inviting furnishings... everything was at hand. The landscaped ornamental gardens through the windows felt like a scene from Bridgerton and the Snug, with its scarlet walls and generous sofas, reminded me of the most wonderful costume dramas. This gem is ideal too for getting out walking by the canal, meandering by the river and even has a nature reserve within metres that's ideal for exploring. If you want a slice of history, with all mod con's - this is it x
