Nestled in the hamlet of Woolley Manor, The White Horse is perfectly perched to offer stunning views of the Peak District countryside and just 12 miles from historic gems such as Chatsworth House. The hotel offers modern rooms with en-suite bathrooms and Hypnos beds – acclaimed as the world’s most comfortable beds.

The suites are purpose built and therefore not what you would expect from a traditional countryside inn. Many feature floor-to-ceiling windows making the most of the fabulous views and a private patio to enjoy breakfast or a night cap on.

Reviewers loved the romantic atmosphere afforded by the privacy of the rooms and the tasty food offered by The White Horse’s gastro-pub style restaurant. The hotel is also dog friendly with many reviewers citing that their pets enjoyed their stay too!

The closest 5-star hotel to Buckingham Palace in leafy Green Park, this Victorian townhouse hotel is frequently voted one of London’s top places to stay for its unique British charm, high standards of luxury and rich heritage.

The 30 rooms and suites are all variations on a black and white theme, creating a clean and luxurious look that is both warm and chic. Fluffy carpets, Savoir beds and designer dark wood furniture give these rooms that extra touch of luxury.

Reviewers of Hotel 41 note the size of the rooms – slightly unusual for London, attention to detail and the friendly and welcoming staff. The hotel’s piece de resistance is the glass roof in the Conservatory Suite allowing the lucky guests to sleep beneath London’s twinkling stars.

In addition to this, there is also the Waterloo Sky Bar on the 8th floor, Circus Bar and Circus Lounge.

Reviewers recommend you try the standard breakfast booked with your room as this includes an extensive buffet, but if you’ve not booked breakfast there is also the A la carte menu offering made to order egg dishes, amongst others.
