Enjoy the thrill of the open road in the Peak District with Peak Edge Hotel’s new Classic Car Luxury Getaway for Two – an indulgent countryside escape combining a luxury stay, iconic cars, and locally sourced food from the hotel’s award-winning Red Lion Restaurant.
Nestled on the edge of the national park, the 4-star Peak Edge Hotel is inviting guests to explore one of Britain’s most scenic regions behind the wheel of a classic 1995 MG RV8 or a sleek silver Aston Martin DB9 – ideal for those seeking either vintage charm or James Bond-style glamour.
The idea came directly from hotel owner Steve Perez, a lifelong car enthusiast, collector of classic vehicles, and four-time UK rally driving champion, who wanted to share his love of motoring with guests. The two vehicles are part of his personal collection, lovingly maintained and now available as part of a unique driving experience from the hotel.
Prices start from £400 per couple and include:
• A two-night stay for two in a Superior Double or Superior Twin Room, including breakfast
• Private hire of either the 1995 MG RV8 or Aston Martin DB9
• A complimentary bottle of Prosecco on arrival
• 10% off the à la carte dinner menu at the 2 AA Rosette Red Lion Restaurant
• Exclusive scenic route recommendations through the Peak District’s most beautiful drives
The package can also be combined with Peak Edge’s newly launched Peaks & Plates experience, a two-night getaway designed to help guests slow down and immerse themselves in the hotel’s rich food philosophy and countryside setting.
Combining the best of both packages, guests can add a gourmet picnic hamper filled with Walton Lodge Farm produce – perfect for popping into the back of the MG or Aston and enjoying en route through picturesque villages, winding lanes, and breathtaking views.
Explore, Taste and Drive
Curated driving routes include:
• The legendary Snake Pass across the Pennines
• Winnats Pass, a dramatic limestone gorge
• Peaceful circuits around Derwent Dams and Ladybower Reservoir
• Monsal Head to Longstone Edge – a sweeping scenic route with postcard-perfect countryside
• Must-see visits to Chatsworth Estate, Haddon Hall, Bakewell, and the Heights of Abraham
The Peaks & Plates addition also includes:
• A luxury picnic hamper featuring locally sourced produce from Walton Lodge Farm
• Access to recommended Peak District walking routes
• A six-course tasting menu at the Red Lion with optional wine pairing
A Taste of the Peak District
After a day of exploring, guests can return to the hotel for a relaxed yet refined dining experience at the Red Lion Restaurant. With a focus on sustainability and seasonality, many ingredients come directly from Walton Lodge Farm – the home of Peak Edge’s founder, Steve Perez.
Whether tucking into heritage Belted Galloway beef or a seasonal vegetarian dish, guests can enjoy the true taste of the region in a space that blends rustic charm with modern comfort. Head Chef Alan Rigby’s menu is rooted in flavour, provenance, and quality.
A Rural Escape Like No Other
Built from original stonework dating back to 1788, Peak Edge Hotel is an independent, family-owned retreat combining heritage and heartfelt hospitality. With 27 stylish rooms, panoramic countryside views, and a strong commitment to sustainability, the hotel offers a luxury experience that feels grounded in place.
The Classic Car Luxury Getaway – with optional Peaks & Plates add-on – is perfect for anniversaries, milestone birthdays, or anyone wanting to savour the Peak District in style.
