Great selection of walks in very picturesque countryside. Very friendly and helpful hosts and efficient luggage transfer arrangements. Would be useful to have alternative options in the case of rain making some stone paths slippery and dangerous when wet.
Without a doubt the Peak District is an amazing place to visit and you are spoilt for choice with the amount of beautiful walks. Letting Inntravel plan a route, arrange accommodation and baggage transfers definitely takes the strain out of the holiday and we were left to enjoy the lovely accommodations and what they offered (two were Inns offering good quality food and the one in Castleton has many choices to eat out in the town). It would have been good if Inntravel could share the GPX files for the suggested routes. Clearly Inntravel has these files as they shared the ascent/decent proile which was generated from electronic mapping. In future we would choose a company that would offer this.
Thank you for your comments on the Peak District holiday, we're pleased that you enjoyed walking in this lovely area. We are aiming to provide gpx files for our walking holidays in the future, and are in the process of collecting & creating the gps tracks for this - the elevation profiles in our notes do indeed come from electronic mapping software, but the data used for these does not need to be as accurate as a gpx file used for following a route on the ground; we are currently undertaking this process of ensuring the tracks are accurate.
What a great week in the Peak District. The walks covered a variety of countryside and the views we had were fantastic, particulary along Stanage Edge. Suprising amount of wildlife and birdlife - apart from lots of deer we were also lucky enough to see a stoat at Stanage edge and also hares.
Some good restaurants to visit are Il Lupo in Baslow - a lovely Italian and pre-booking is a must, in Hathersage we went to Bank House (best meal of the week) and in Castleton do try 1530 restaurant.
Another great Inntravel trip.

Another great Inntravel trip.
Really enjoyed the day out at Chatsworth. We asked in the Devonshire Arms for the discount vouchers mentioned in the Inntravel notes but they said they did not do them anymore as the same discount was available on line. No discount is available on line other than free car parking!
Very good evening meal at Rowleys at Prince of Wales pub in Baslow. We pre booked and were glad we had.
Excellent evening meals at Plough Inn.
We would recommend the George Pub in Castleton. We ate there both evenings. Again, pre booked.
Treak Cliff Cavern where Blue John is still mined was an interesting visit.
Make sure you take the time to read the route notes before beginning the walk. It is best to leave the car at the final destination.
When staying in Baslow, I would recommend eating at Il Lupo which was excellent.
The evening meals at the Plough were also very good.
Beautiful scenery, lovely part of the country.
This was our first Inntravel holiday in the UK and it was as good as any in Italy. The landscape was spectacular, especially the Edges, and Castleton was a magical place, a little like Delphi. Staying at Dunscar Farm during lambing was wonderful.
This was our first Inntravel experience and will not be our last. Every aspect of the holiday was first class. The guide notes were very reliable and we walked through stunning countryside on routes that we may not have selected ourselves. It was everything a walking holiday should be.
We enjoyed the entire trip very much. The scenery was varied but always lovely, and walking amid the sheep was an unexpected pleasure. There was a nice mix of hiking through woods and along the Derwent, then having long vistas from the higher edges and the hilltops. The whole experience was excellent.
