Sam’s local picks
Just wanted to share a few of my favourite local spots! Dimmingsdale is absolutely gorgeous for a walk – only 1.2 miles away and perfect for stretching your legs, while JCB World (3.1 miles) is brilliant if you’re into engineering or have little ones with you. For something a bit different, Peak Wildlife Park is about 6.9 miles out and has loads of animals; plus all three have free parking which is always a bonus!
Where to eat & drink
Guests staying here will find convenient options for food and drink close by; Ramblers Retreat, approximately 0.9 miles away, is perfect for coffee and homemade cakes. For a more substantial meal, The Wayfarer, around a 35-minute drive from the property, serves refined British cuisine.
Things to do
Guests staying here are perfectly positioned for a range of activities, with Alton Towers just 0.7 miles away offering exhilarating rides. For water-based fun, Alton Towers Waterpark is a short drive of approximately 5 minutes at 0.9 miles.
