This Summer surely is a Summer of cycling in the Peak District! With over 100 events and activities throughout April - October 2014, there are plenty of chances to hop on your bike and get involved. We've put together a list a few of our top activities to enjoy here, but you can find the full list on the Summer of Cycling website.
Taking place this weekend in Ringinglow, there will be something for everyone at the JeJames CycleFest. In their words " Come and demo a new bike from the big manufacturers. Take part in the CycleFest Friendly low mileage sportive on the Sunday or have a go at the Trail Finder MTB orienteering course on the Saturday. There will be a chance for children and adults to learn some new riding skills at various free skills sessions that will run throughout the day." Be sure to bring your bike!
We've mentioned L'Eroica previously and the date is now drawing closer. If you don't feel like cycling, you can simply enjoy the three-day festival that surrounds the tour. You can find out more information on their website here.
The Grand Depart starts in Leeds, West Yorkshire on the 5th July and will travel almost 400km before reaching Sheffield late on Sunday afternoon on the 6th July. There will be many wonderful vantage points across the route from which to watch, or you can visit the spectator hub at Manor Park in Glossop.
Choose either the long, medium or short route that start and end at the Peak DIstrict town of Buxton. Route lengths range from 68km to 136km. Full route details are available here.
If you'd like to make a weekend of any of these events, we're located in the heart of the Peak District - a great base for attending events. You can book online of call us on 01433 621219.
We're holding another great give-away on our Facebook Page; this time we're offering a Bespoke Spa Day for two very lucky people! If you'd like to enter, visit our Facebook Page.
The winner will arrive at the hotel around 9:30am on their chosen day and spend the morning relaxing in the spa, enjoying the facilities available. Our spa facilities offer a tranquil indoor heated pool with panoramic views over Winhill and the Hope Valley, dedicated changing rooms and showers, a peaceful sauna and fantastic outdoor hot tub.
The two will then make their way to our award-winning Orangery Restaurant to enjoy a delicious two-course lunch; we offer a daily changing a la Carte menu featuring some of the finest local produce.
You may then choose to indulge in some spa treatments in the afternoon, enjoying a 10% discount off any treatments. The day will then conclude at 5pm, leaving you refreshed and rejuvenated.
Here's what others have been saying about our spa:

We're very happy to be featuring in the Sheffield Cook Book, coming out in early May. The Sheffield Cook Book is a venture in conjunction with EAT Sheffield; the book will feature "the stories and recipes behind some of Sheffield's finest food producers; restaurant, café bars, growers, gastro pubs, farm shop, delicatessens and food industry providers".
We will be entering a few dishes, one of which will feature The Sheffield Honey Company who are an artisan producer of premium quality local English honey and supply the honey we use in our restaurant.
The Sheffield Cook Book team came to visit to take pictures of the dishes to be featured in the book.
The books have been recently printed and will be available in early May.
Copies of the book will be available for purchase from early May at most of the establishments featured, including here at Losehill House. You can keep up with the latest news on the Sheffield Cook Book's Twitter account here.
In March we had the pleasure of hosting the ITV film crew for the day as they took some footage to be used in an ITV Daybreak competition launched last week. We were also delighted to meet Matt Johnson from Breakfast TV and The Hub who was present at the filming. If you've seen the footage, you may be able to recognise the hotel's unique arched windows! Good luck to any who have entered.
The wonderful pictures are from Maddie and Ruaridh's Spring wedding last year, taken by S6 Photography.
