Escape at Wildhive Callow Hall – the country house hotel at the gateway to the Peak District

Escape at Wildhive Callow Hall – the country house hotel at the gateway to the Peak District, tucked away in 35 acres of picturesque gardens, wild meadows and woodlands.

A place to collect wild memories, this magnificent Victorian retreat is perfectly placed to experience what the rolling hills and majestic moors have to offer via the Map Room, where the team can impart their knowledge of the area to find a track that suits you.

If you’re looking to be closer to base during your stay, the hotel has plenty to see and do without leaving the grounds.

You get in the saddle and try out the interactive bikes or rowing machines in The Coach House or indulge in luxury with a facial, manicure or pedicure, join a yoga class or unwind in the sauna.

The main house is home to 15 individually designed bedrooms, which can form the ideal base for your adventurous stay or, retreat to the woodland hideaways where you can choose from a treehouse, complete with wraparound deck and copper bath or a secluded hive room.

This luxury hotel’s food reflects a love for all things local with head chef Tom Burton and his team carefully curating menus featuring everything from Derbyshire lamb to line-caught mackerel.

Dishes are freshly picked, caught and cooked with monthly celebrations of the top quality British produce on the ‘Best Of’ menu.

The local theme extends further than the kitchen with founders Ed Burrows and Charles Randall being passionate about sustainability, sharing an ongoing commitment to protect the planet and deliver a holistic approach to ensure the business works for everyone encompassing the team, suppliers and guests.

Green initiatives such as responsible sourcing, following the seasons for produce and using green energy where possible are just some of the ways in which the environmentally friendly ethos is carried out.

From far-flung adventures across the Peak District to the tranquillity of the house itself, Callow Hall is one to visit.
