Baslow Hall was discovered in 1988 by Max and Susan Fischer, having fallen into a state of neglect. They moved their family and country restaurant into the house, eventually transforming it into a hotel.

Eleven luxurious bedrooms are available, and the hotel is home to one of the most highly-awarded in the county. The kitchen crew take advantage of fresh Derbyshire produce, and many of the ingredients used are grown on the hotel’s grounds.

This is the second Derbyshire hotel to be recognised nationally in recent weeks, after Callow Hall Hotel, near Ashbourne, was named the best place to stay in the UK by the Sunday Times.

Rooms start from £207, and more information can be found here.
