We're getting married in Derbyshire, in the UK. It's a part of the English countryside called the Peak District, though locals just call it 'Up north'.
If you're coming from abroad, we recommend flying in to London and travelling to Derby by train. The train takes 90 minutes, but we strongly discourage travelling on the day of the wedding in case of delays.
Uber is available in the area, though you may prefer to rent a car if you're staying for a few days. We recommend Citymapper for planning UK travel.
We have guests coming from a range of locations, so rather than book a block we've simply listed some recommended hotels below.
Just 20 minutes from the venue. Callow Hall boasts a spa and manor house, or the option of self-catered woodland out-buildings. They also have dog-friendly options.
40 minutes from the venue, Peak Edge is a 4-star hotel and pub nestled in the heart of Derbyshire and near the town of Chesterfield, where Joe grew up.
In the heart of Derby and just 15 minutes from the venue, the Leonardo Hotel chain has 3-4-star options with bed, breakfast, and a fitness centre.
Joe's sister, Faith, has just converted this 2-bed home into an Airbnb. It's got two double bedrooms, a garden, a cosy log burner, and is just 30 minutes from the venue. Book here and you don't have to get us a gift!
There are a lot of other holiday cottages and you can find everything from an intimate cottage up on the moors to a 10-bedroom manor house. Book early!
