The creak of timber beams and the smell of fresh coffee drifting upstairs — this is the kind of proper countryside welcome that settles you instantly, halfway between a stay and a visit to friends.

The Waltzing Weasel offers both traditional guest house rooms and camping pods, so you can choose your level of snug depending on the season or the mood. It suits couples after a cosy bolt-hole, small families wanting a base without the full tent palaver, and solo travellers who like a bit of company at breakfast. Dog owners should ask ahead — there's flexibility, but it's worth checking before you book.

Open all year, so it works for winter escapes as much as summer. Campfires are a check-on-arrival situation, likely depending on conditions and where you're pitched. Facilities aren't spelled out in detail, but the guest house side suggests you're covered for the basics — hot showers, a roof if the weather turns, and that increasingly rare thing: a warm welcome that doesn't feel scripted. Expect a relaxed, informal vibe rather than a manicured site.

Kinder Trespass 75

Commemorates the historic 1932 mass trespass with a moderate-to-challenging moorland walk featuring steep climbs and potentially boggy terrain. Not suitable for buggies or young children due to rough paths and significant elevation gain. Dogs welcome but keep on leads near livestock. Rewards you with stunning Peak District views and a genuine sense of walking in the footsteps of the access rights movement that opened up Britain's countryside.

Lantern Pike Circular (Ethel), High Peak

The 7.4km route tackles challenging inclines and can be muddy, making it unsuitable for buggies and tough for young children. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock.

Below Kinder Scout: A Circular Walk Around Kinder Reservoir, High Peak

Circles Kinder Reservoir on mostly flat, well-maintained paths with gentle climbs offering dramatic moorland views beneath Kinder Scout's brooding edges. Suitable for confident older children (8+) but not buggies due to uneven sections and occasional stiles. Dogs welcome and will love it – plenty of water access and open terrain. The Pennine scenery is spectacular, mixing conifer woodland with wild moorland, and you're walking National Trust land rich in Dark Peak character without tackling the
