Our Picks Of The Top 10 Perfect Places For A Romantic Weekend Getaway

4. The Peacock at Rowsley

Perfectly placed for windswept wanders around the Peak District and close to the chocolate-box village of Bakewell (home of the tart), the Peacock at Rowsley promises everything a wildy romantic weekend should: swoon-inducing scenery by day, atmospheric fine dining by evening and a sturdy four-poster for the night. This rural hideaway may have once been the dower house of Haddon Hall - one of Derbyshire's finest statelies - but the olde worlde charms of the antique furniture, portrait-lined stairwell and crackling hearth have been given a shot of 21st-century style courtesy of bright contemporary furnishings, fluffy rugs and forward-thinking service. It's a tough one to call, but Room 5 is the most romantic, largely thanks to its dramatic wooden canopy bed.
