There is lots to do and see in the area, the hotel is walking distance from the superb 18 hole Renishaw Park Golf Club and the historic Renishaw Hall and Gardens, Gullivers Valley children’s theme park is a five minute drive away, some of our favourites are included below, but please ask us for more ideas.
Renishaw is rightly celebrated for its fabulous Italianate gardens, with monthly highlights including Magnolias, Bluebell Wood and Delphiniums amongst many, many more, so why not visit and take a look for yourself. The gardens are open Wednesday to Sunday and on Bank Holiday Mondays, 10.30am to 4.30pm during the season.
Visit website>A round of golf at Renishaw Park is definitely a game of two halves. The first nine is set in rolling parkland with six par 4s and three par 3s requiring good accuracy. The second nine is flat and more open with four par 5s, three par 4s and two par 3s. The golf course has been well known for a number of years for the quality of its greens, which are fast and true, some of the best in the area.
Visit website>Set on a hilltop overlooking the Vale of Scarsdale, Bolsover Castle enjoys panoramic views over the beautiful Derbyshire countryside. Children will love the fairytale Little Castle, designed as a fantasy entertainment house with magnificent wall paintings.
Visit website>Known as being “more glass than wall” with its huge Elizabethan windows built for “Bess of Hardwick” as a status of her wealth is more than worth a visit.
Visit website>This is an exciting route for walkers, cyclists and horse riders linking the North and Irish seas, passing through the Pennines, alongside rivers and canals and through some of the most historic towns and cities in the North of England.
Visit website>Meadowhall Shopping Centre is one of England’s biggest shopping venues, with around 300 popular high street retailers; explore their range of shops and restaurants.
Visit website>"We had our complete wedding service here from the ceremony to the wedding breakfast and evening on the Leger Suite downstairs, what a fantastic day !!! Jo-Anne and her staff were brilliant, sorting out any queries straight away , nothing was too much. Food was amazing, day and evening. Steve the DJ was fantastic playing a variety of tunes, the dancefloor was never empty. The wedding service went off without a hitch even though there were 2 other weddings on at the same time, how they managed we don't know. Particular mention to Sharon, the lady who needs a medal, kept us informed of what was happening and asking us when we wanted things to happen, looking after Jacqui s dad to make sure he was happy. All in all, the BEST day . The room was a little bit tired , needs updating but we were put in to the Renishaw Suite as the Honeymoon suite was already occupied , didn't spoil our wedding in the slightest, . The wedding package (Whirlwind) was definitely money well spent and very very good value for money. Again, thank you to Jo-Anne and her staff for making our day so Special."
