I recently went on a lovely trip away near Hope and
Castleton in Derbyshire with my family. It is a really pretty and quaint place,
and from what I have grasped seems like it has a lot of history to it. I love
how pretty it is; stone walls through the small village, surrounded by hills, lots
of pubs and jewellery shops. It really is beautiful, and I love being away,
even just for a night, in such a lovely place.
We were staying in this great place which used to be a pub but has now been renovated into a place to stay on holiday. The fact that it used to be a pub is fab because the bar is still there, and you can get barrels to work the bar yourself, which is a real fun edition to staying away. When we arrived, we quickly picked our rooms and then had a nice chat sitting around the bar. I love being away and relaxed because it gives you a chance to really catch up with everyone and have a nice time.
About half an hour later, we went into Castleton and had a
lovely dinner in a pub/restaurant called ‘The Castle’. It was delicious, I had
‘Fritto Misto’ which was a battered fish selection with chips, of course
followed by a crumble, because that is my all-time favourite dessert. We stayed
in the restaurant for a few hours before heading back to the place we were
staying. When driving back through Castleton, it was so nice to look around and
see how lovely of a place it was. It is surrounded by hills, and the centre is
lowly lit with warm lights which add such a welcoming atmosphere to the place.
I would love to know where you like to go for a short break?
