It was almost worth driving 200 miles from Dorset, just to stay with Paul & Rachel at Kedleston View for the night. I do not normally wax lyrical about a B&B, but theirs has to be a model for all prospective Guest House owners. It is warm, welcoming, clean, comfortable and mine hosts were wonderfully flexible about breakfast times.
Simply put, if you plan a stopover within 50 miles of Derby, then this has to be at the top of your list.
