A boutique Peak District hotel and spa offering a luxurious staycation in the stunning Hope Valley reports rooms have already sold out with more couples booking than families this year.
Located around 45 miles or 90 minutes away from Derby city centre, Losehill House Hotel is one of the Peak District’s beloved luxury boutique hotels.
Complete with award-winning fine-dining restaurant and spa, the hotel has shared its 2025 Christmas breaks sold out months ago. This could be seen as a sign that guests are craving something different from the usual festive frenzy.
This year’s Christmas bookings have seen a marked change. Traditionally, the festive period has brought families together at Losehill, many returning year after year to share the magic of a Peak District Christmas at one of the region’s peaceful and secluded venues.
But this year, the hotel reports that most bookings have come from couples seeking serenity, connection, and space to breathe.
Paul Roden, Managing Director and co-owner, said: “We’ve always believed that Christmas should be about presence, not pressure.
“Many of our guests are telling us that they want to step away from the rush of the season this year – to rest, to indulge, and to enjoy each other’s company.
“Losehill offers exactly that: exceptional seasonal dining, gentle walks through frosty hills, and the kind of peace you rarely find during December.”
Losehill’s Christmas experience sees guests sip Champagne in cosy corners, indulge in festive dining at the hotel’s award-winning Grafene restaurant, and access the Peak District’s full-service spa with outdoor hot tub overlooking snow-dusted hills.
For those who want to get outside, the hotel is placed with more than 20 varied walks starting right from the front door, including direct routes to Mam Tor, Ladybower Reservoir, and Castleton, often regarded as one of the Peak District’s prettiest – and most Christmassy – villages.
Although Christmas 2025 is fully booked, guests can now join the waiting list or pre-book for 2026, ensuring they don’t miss out on what has become the Peak District’s most coveted Christmas experience.
Non-residents can also book dining throughout December, including the daily Christmas lunches, Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas Day lunch. A black-tie Boxing Day 5 course taster menu is also available.
