The Top 18 Hotels Near The Two Pigs
-
Ten rooms in a converted manor house, a freestanding cottage, and a barn that once hosted Handel and Rousseau, all orbiting a pub that calls itself, with very British modesty, just a pub with rooms. The Duncombe Arms is a luxury-leaning countryside stay in Derbyshire where the kitchen runs on local Staffordshire sourcing and the line between refined and rustic is left pleasantly blurred.
-
Wildhive Callow Hall is a Victorian country house hotel at the southern edge of the Peak District, where you can sleep in the main house, in a treehouse, or in one of the cottage-style "hives" scattered across the grounds. The Garden Room restaurant leans on produce grown on-site. The kind of place where the renovation has been thorough enough that "historic" and "comfortable" aren't fighting each other for once.
-
A Victorian country house hotel half an hour from Birmingham, with two restaurants where most would settle for one. The main house rooms lean into period grandeur with antiques and Arts and Crafts detailing, while the Walled Garden suites go the other direction entirely, all cast concrete baths and floor-to-ceiling windows. The hotel holds two Michelin Keys, and its restaurant Grace & Savour carries a Michelin star.
-
A Victorian red-brick that used to be the Birmingham Eye Hospital, which at least explains the attention to detail. Hotel du Vin leans into rich, warm tones and a faintly baroque sensibility while the rest of the boutique world goes minimalist and white. It's the only outpost in the chain with a spa, and the bistro's wine list runs to hundreds of bottles. The shopping outside is fine, but you'll be thinking about dinner.
-
Full-length windows overlooking Birmingham's canal district set the tone at this large, polished city-centre hotel. The rooms are spacious and properly fitted out, the spa has a pool and a round-the-clock gym, and the lobby sits close enough to the shops that afternoon tea afterward feels almost obligatory. It runs on the Hyatt template, which is less a complaint than a description: reliably comfortable, nothing left out.
-
Housed in a converted Royal Mail sorting facility inside The Mailbox, Birmingham's upscale canal-side shopping complex, this boutique hotel trades in dark woods, earthy tones, and generous room sizes that make a quiet dig at London's overpriced cupboards. Harvey Nichols is essentially your lobby. The Malmaison house style runs cool and calm throughout, with a brasserie and spa on site for anyone who needs a reason to stay indoors.
-
Four joined Regency townhouses in Nottingham's old lace-making quarter, now a boutique hotel with views of St. Mary's church and the Georgian law courts opposite. The look is contemporary-luxe rather than country-house chintz, with bespoke furnishings, wide sash windows, and bathrooms featuring freestanding tubs and rounded glass sinks. The studio suites span two levels and quietly retire the word "studio" from the conversation.
-
-
A converted 17th-century pub on the literal edge of the Peak District National Park, with a contemporary wing built to match the old stone so considerately you might not notice the join. The 27 rooms lean into country-house comfort, Hypnos mattresses and rain showers ready for whatever the moors handed you that afternoon. The Red Lion Restaurant anchors the social life with seasonal cooking. Selected by the Michelin Guide.
-
The Cavendish sits on the edge of the Chatsworth Estate, which means your window looks out over 30,000 acres of Peak District rolling green, making a decent case for keeping the curtains open. It's a country hotel done in a style that mixes four-poster beds and stone fireplaces with block colors to avoid full heritage-house cosplay. The Gallery Restaurant runs on estate produce, and the bar is a snug 1950s throwback. It holds a Michelin Key.
-
A 100-room independent hotel on the edge of the Peak District where the owners also run the farm that supplies the beef. Rooms go from standard doubles up to suites with hot tubs on the balcony, and Cocina, the in-house steakhouse, dry-ages its cuts on site. Barça Bar handles cocktails at ground level. Eleven conference rooms mean you'll likely share the car park with a team-building away day, but the hot tub suites are a reasonable counterargument.
-
Choosing a room here means choosing a persona: the original Arts-and-Crafts house offers period-appropriate calm, while the newer Orchard House runs to a more boutique, spa-weekend sensibility. Either way, this Warwickshire country house hotel covers the full spread, with extensive grounds, a serious spa with seven treatment rooms, and two restaurants on site. The service lands somewhere between a handshake and a bow, which is about right.
-
The building sits directly across from New Place, Shakespeare's last home, which sets a certain tone before you've even checked in. This Hotel Indigo property keeps the 15th-century bones intact, and the attic rooms in particular come with exposed timbers you won't find in many hotels with a functioning app. The farm-to-fork restaurant, The Woodsman, leans into the period charm with gusto.
-
Hambleton Hall sits on the peninsula that fingers into Rutland Water, its grounds rolling all the way to the edge of the reservoir. This is an old-school English country house hotel, 17 rooms, croquet lawn, the whole thing, and it hasn't chased trends or irony. Each room has its own look, the service is personal in the way that only small properties can manage, and the Dining Room holds a Michelin Star. Rutland itself is quietly worth the detour.
-
A Georgian country house hotel set on nearly 40 acres of Cheshire farmland, close enough to Manchester and Liverpool to feel accessible, far enough from both to feel like an escape. Rooms split between the original house and a later wing that doesn't try too hard to disguise itself. The converted stables, now a spa with an indoor pool under a glass roof, are the most quietly impressive thing on the property.
-
A taxidermied badger under a glass dome watches guests climb the winding staircase, which sets the tone for this Grade II-listed Queen Anne country house hotel in rural Worcestershire. Ten acres of grounds come with tennis courts and croquet lawns, rooms carry names like Duchess and Black Worcester, and the oak-framed spa building runs to a cedar-scented sauna and a rainforest shower with sound effects. Dogs are welcome in most rooms.

The Queen's Suite is named for Elizabeth I, who last slept here in 1575, which gives you a sense of how long Fawsley Hall has been at this. It's a country house hotel with Tudor, Georgian, and Victorian wings, all of which were, at some point, the new addition. Rooms range from period-heavy originals to quieter contemporary spaces in the stables and spa building. A full spa, restaurant, and weekend screenings round things out nicely.
