Travel: A Weekend at Sandybrook in the Beautiful Peak District
Celebrating the big day in beautiful surroundings
The beautiful Peak District
The next day we decided on a good long walk, to exercise off all the delicious calories, and blow away the cobwebs. We started at Dovedale, where the rather idyllic stepping stones lead you to miles of unspoilt countryside, hills, trees, and yes – more pubs!
Things to do at Sandybrook lodges
The next morning, once we’d torn ourselves away from our comfortable beds and hot tub (honestly, we could easily have stayed in it all weekend), we went to check out what else there was to do on site at Sandybrook. As well as the lovely pool and hot tub, there were a variety of activities we could have booked to keep the kids busy.
Disclosure: we were invited to stay as guests of Sandybrook, in return for an honest review. All opinion is my own, and images are subject to copyright.
What a wonderful way to celebrate a birthday. Champagne breakfast, a private chef and a hot tub sounds perfect to me!
Lap of luxury! I’m making a list for my next birthday 😉
WOW- What a great way to spend a birthday weekend- The private spa looks amazing. The whole place seems so serene, yet family friendly.
That’s a brilliant way to describe it. We really did feel welcome as a family, but it was so relaxed.
The place really looks beautiful. And I love the pictures. Really good to see that u guys had a lovely weekend.
Thank you so much 🙂
Sounds like a wonderful birthday spent with family. This place is beautiful as well! Such a lovely place to visit.
Honestly Talya the setting was beautiful, and we were so lucky with the weather x
I’d happily stay at Sandybrook, it looks really good and such a nice way to celebrate Jasons 50th birthday. Mich x
It’s a really comfortable – and not massively expensive – way to visit a beautiful part of the country.
The lodging looks absolutely impressive and the decor is just gorgeous. I am yet to visit the Peak District, I am adding it to my list.
I’m pretty sure you won’t regret it!
Amazing idea, unfortunately I am getting close to 50 also…. These celebrations are fun when you have family to share with. Nice place!
Start making a plan now Peter!
Oh how lovely! Sandybrook looks great and such a fun place to spend a birthday with your family! Gorgeous photos!
Perfect place to chill out and spend quality time as a family.
Your pics are great. This is a great way to celebrate a birthday.This place looks beautiful.
Thank you, I really enjoyed taking them.
You look great!!!! Hope you enjoyed! Looks like it was so much fun!
It was lovely Shannon, thank you x
What a great place for a celebration! I love the champagne breakfast on the desk. Nice to dine with such an amazing view to start your day!
It was really special!
That’s a really nice birthday gift! I’ve never hired a private chef. That would make it even more special. Does he do special ordered chicken nuggets for kids?
Yes! All the chefs have children’s menus to complement the main menus. It’s a win-win 🙂
Happy birthday! What a nice way to celebrate with the family!
