Travellers looking to reduce their reliance on the car without compromising on comfort can now enjoy one of the Peak District’s most environmentally conscious luxury escapes, thanks to a new partnership between Losehill House Hotel & Spa and Peak District touring specialists PeakePedals.

The family-owned hotel, nestled amongst the hills of the Hope Valley, has launched a series of guided and self-guided e-bike tours that allow guests to explore some of the national park’s most spectacular scenery directly from the hotel.

The new experience builds on Losehill House’s longstanding commitment to responsible tourism. The hotel is the only full-service hotel in the Peak District to hold the Peak District Environmental Quality Mark, recognising businesses that support the local environment, champion local producers and help protect the special qualities of the national park.

Guests can travel directly to nearby Hope railway station from Sheffield and Manchester, while visitors from London can reach the Hope Valley in around two-and-a-half hours with just one change from St Pancras. From there, a short taxi journey brings guests to the hotel, where many choose to leave the car behind for the duration of their stay.

Electric vehicle charging points are also available for those travelling by electric car.

Once checked in, guests have direct access to some of the Peak District’s best walking routes, cycling trails and beauty spots. Mam Tor, Lose Hill, Win Hill and the Great Ridge can all be explored from the hotel doorstep, while the surrounding countryside offers dark skies, abundant wildlife, clean air and a welcome escape from the pace of everyday life.

The new PeakePedals experiences add another way for visitors to immerse themselves in the landscape.

Guests can set off directly from the hotel and explore the Hope Valley, Ladybower Reservoir and the dramatic scenery of the Dark Peak on electric bikes designed to make longer rides and hills accessible to a wider range of abilities.

The flagship Losehill and Ladybower Reservoir Rambler experience combines quiet country lanes, reservoir trails and panoramic Peak District views, while the shorter Dark Peak Village Explorer visits picturesque villages including Eyam and Hathersage.

Paul Roden, co-owner of Losehill House, said: “We’ve never viewed sustainability as a tick-box exercise. For us, it’s about helping people connect with this extraordinary landscape while supporting local businesses, local food producers and the communities that make the Peak District special.

“Guests can arrive by train, explore on foot or by e-bike, enjoy locally sourced food, experience the national park at a slower pace and leave feeling refreshed. That’s always been our vision of a great Peak District escape.”

Food plays a central role in the experience. The hotel’s two AA Rosette restaurant works closely with local suppliers and producers, celebrating seasonal ingredients and the rich food heritage of Derbyshire and the surrounding region.

The partnership with PeakePedals reflects a growing appetite for holidays centred around experiences, nature and wellbeing rather than simply ticking destinations off a list.

Andrew Talbot, co-founder of PeakePedals, said: “The Hope Valley is one of the most spectacular areas of the Peak District to explore by bike. Electric bikes allow more people to experience the landscape, enjoy the scenery and discover places they may never otherwise visit.

“Losehill House is perfectly positioned for that type of adventure because guests can step out of the hotel and immediately immerse themselves in the national park.”

As travellers increasingly seek authentic experiences that celebrate local culture, nature and place, Losehill House offers a different kind of luxury: one built around outstanding landscapes, exceptional food, wellbeing and a genuine connection to the Peak District itself.

Tours start from £95 and can be booked through PeakePedals.
