What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The hotel is a 17th-century public house alongside a contemporary addition (in a pleasingly harmonious antique style).
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Country lanes lead straight into the Peak District National Park. Chesterfield's historic town centre is six miles to the east.
The rooms
Bedrooms in the stone wing look out across open countryside. Bathrooms include deep soaking tubs and separate rain showers.
Red Lion Restaurant
Curved leather booths sit under a central skylight and indoor tree. The kitchen sources Berkshire pork and honey from the owner's farm.
At the table
Tartan armchairs sit by the curved timber bar, where drinks are poured under heavy ceiling beams and stone pillars.
How it began
Owner Steve Perez grew up working in his father's kitchen here, before buying back the property four decades later.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
