4- and 5-star hotels in Hope Valley
A shortlist of 4- and 5-star hotels in Hope Valley, from peak-district country inns to a spa hotel with an indoor pool. It is for couples, families and walkers deciding where to base themselves, whether for a short break or a longer stay.
Staying in Hope Valley
Hope Valley is the heart of the Peak District, a landscape of gritstone edges, green dales and stone villages strung along the valley floor. Visitors come for walking, for the view from places like Froggatt Edge, and for villages such as Castleton, Eyam and Edale, each with its own character and its own pubs and cafés. The hotels on this shortlist sit across that spread rather than in one spot: at Bradwell, Bretton near Eyam, Calver, Lose Hill Lane, The Main Road, Froggatt Edge, School Lane, the B6001, Granby Road, Tideswell Lane in Eyam, Foolow, Castleton, Edale, How Lane in Castleton, High Street and Stoney Middleton. That means the choice is really about which village you want outside your window. Couples and walkers are well served by the inns with bars and restaurants; families have family rooms at Losehill House Hotel & Spa, The Maynard, YHA Castleton Losehill Hall Hostel, Swiss House B&B and The Moon Inn at Stoney Middleton.
