GREAT ESCAPES
RESTORATIVE QUALITIES The pub is frequented by travellers and locals alike
WHY IT’S GREAT In the little village of Mackworth, just outside Derby, this revamped hotel (once a farmhouse) is a half-hour drive from the Peak District, home to Chatsworth House and pretty towns such as Bakewell. (Lovers of good beer should take advantage of a night out in Derby’s fine pubs, too.) Top marks to Revere Pub Company for considerately restoring the 18th-century building and retaining its charm.
