Wildhive at Callow Hall, Derbyshire

Brand spanking new hotel group Wildhive has opened the doors to its first property, Callow Hall, a 19th-century mansion set in 35 acres of English countryside. Very much a disciple of the outside-in living philosophy, Wildhive offers its guests adventure and experience-packed stays with the great outdoors firmly in mind. Come here for easy tailored access to hiking trails and bike routes, a culinary offering that includes picnics and barbecues, and the opportunity to stay in one of 13 ‘wildhives’ consisting of rustic cabins and treehouses nestled in untouched woodland. It’s not all muddy boots and working out though, the main house and its bedrooms were given a delicate and very pretty redesign by Isabella Worsley, and there’s a botanicals-focused spa in the coach house.
