WHERE TO STAY

THE PICK LED PHEASANT

Skirting the easterly edge of the Peak District, this appealingly named pub added four spacious rooms following a renovation two years ago. All boast king-size Hypnos beds, and some have exposed beams and fireplaces. From £90 per night (thepickledpheasant.com).

DAKOTA LEEDS

If you’re using Leeds as your hub, Dakota makes a handy base for the cultural quarter. The fifth outpost of this boutique chain does a convincing impression of an independent hotel, and there’s a luxurious, cocooning feel to its grey-on-grey rooms. From £140 per night (dakotahotels.co.uk).

MANOR HOUSE LIN D LE Y

This Georgian mansion offers 11 individually designed rooms.

All are plush yet characterful, though the formula works best in the restaurant, with its bare brick walls, green velvet banquettes and opaline chandelier. From £129 per night (manorhouselindley.co.uk).
