This pub with rooms is an 18th-century coaching inn turned upmarket Peak District bolthole with elegant rooms, a cosy bar and cut-above food, all wrapped up in a quaint village setting of Beeley. Style-wise, the Devonshire is an inn of two halves. The main bar area still has that country pub feel to it, with thick stone walls, dark wooden beams and wood-burning stoves. The brasserie, on the other hand, is a totally contemporary space with floor-to-ceiling windows and pops of colour. The 18 rooms are furnished with some interesting artworks and the odd quirky touch (an enormous bedhead, say, or flamingo-shaped lamps).

This extended country inn is well-placed for exploring the Staffordshire and Cheshire chunks of the Peak District, with dramatic scenery right on its doorstep offering plenty of scope for great outdoors activities. The hotel has been run by the same family since 1981 and while the original pub has been extended, it’s been done thoughtfully, using local stone. The original pub is traditional in style while the newer areas, including the restaurant, look more contemporary-rustic. A jewel in the inn’s crown is the Mill Wheel Spa in which the interiors pay tribute to the area’s industrial and agricultural heritage.

This South Derbyshire bolthole is a traditional village pub turned swish boutique inn, with 12 well-designed bedrooms, a cosy bar and a seafood-focused menu that champions local suppliers. The bar is an appealing place in which to hunker down, with wooden beams overhead, quarry tiles underfoot and log burners either end of the room. Corridors lined with portraits of cows lead to bedrooms where the reclaimed-rustic look is overlaid with boutique hotel-style luxuries: oversized headboards and velvet quilted chairs; Netflix and Nespresso; thick linen curtains puddled on the floor and mohair throws draped over super-comfy big beds.

With 10 boutique-style bedrooms, an attractively designed bar and an edge-of-Derby location, The Farmhouse at Mackworth country inn is a handy base for forays into the nearby Peak District. Bedrooms are generously sized and attractively decorated in modern country inn style, with a restful colour palette of powder blues, teals and dusky pinks, and big comfortable beds topped with white duvets and knitted throws. The large lounge-bar areas, designed in a colourful mixture of rustic and contemporary elements, serves classic-meets-modern pub dishes such as Gloucester Old Spot sausages and mash, and balsamic pulled beef burger.

At first glance, the Devonshire is every inch the typical country pub – a quaint, creeper-covered stone building with window boxes and benches outside, a dog bowl by the front door and cosy bar rooms. The menu features the kind of regular pub grub (pie, burger, fish and chips) that will fill you up after a day's walking. Stay overnight, though, and you'll find it has more to offer than just traditional charm – bedrooms are smart, individually designed affairs that would do any boutique hotel proud. As with all Chatsworth-owned hotels, the Duchess was closely involved in the design, and she doesn't cut corners when it comes to the finishes.

Wherever you sit in this lovely Derbyshire inn (pub, dining rooms or even the old family kitchen), you choose from the same menu. It’s big on classics (the steak and ale pie is a local legend), and when they say the ingredients are locally sourced, they mean it – they keep their own chickens and pigs, get their lamb from one of the chefs, and use trout and rabbit bartered from locals. Bedrooms are spread across the three buildings. Some with stone mullioned windows and maybe a four-poster or window seat, others more simple with pine or iron bedsteads and patchwork quilts. Every September they stage a popular beer festival.

The 19th-century pub has been transformed into a characterful but contemporary country inn, complete with stone-flagged floors, open fires and a choice of little rooms to hide away in. There are cushions and sheepskins on the chairs, old foodie guides on the windowsill, and an eclectic mix of racing photos, animal paintings and newspaper obituaries on the walls. The 10 bedrooms are in Walnut House, an annexe built in the style of a barn conversion. Each room has a different look but all are immaculate, a good size and share the same view over the valley. Finishes and fittings are gratifyingly high spec, from the thick, heavy curtains and luxury linens to the Fired Earth tiles and Bamford toiletries.
