If ever you feel the need to retreat to the glorious lap of nature, then do it from a fantastic vantage point such as The Priest House Hotel in Kings Mill. This boutique hotel is built like a country house but with all the trappings of luxury that are simply vital to complete your experience. Rooms are furnished in a neutral and contemporary style with amenities and comforts of the highest order, and the contrast with the pastoral surroundings works beautifully.

Allow your taste buds to be delighted at The Priest House Restaurant where you can walk in for a full English breakfast and later on enjoy dishes prepared from fresh and locally produced ingredients. The fare also tends to be regional, but with a whimsical French twist. The ambience at this modern restaurant is elegant and rustic, with its exposed stone walls and wood beamed ceilings and guests can enjoy the delightful views of the nearby river from the terrace.

An impressive feature of The Best Western Premier Yew Lodge Hotel is the fact that it is completely peaceful even though it is located close to both the M1 and East Midlands Airport. 

The family-owned refuge began life as an 18th century country house, later a humble tea room, and today, a modern hotel that offers a hundred bedrooms, modern conference and fitness facilities, a swimming pool, jacuzzi, steam rooms, sauna, the library bar, and the lovely two AA rosette Orchard restaurant.

Orchard serves inventive modern European dishes in a bright and airy atmosphere. Magnificent views show off the surrounding countryside to great effect. From the table d'hotê menu, typically expect starters such as honey glazed pork belly with homemade piccalilli, and seared scallops with lemongrass cappuccino, rhubarb and ginger puree. A tempura of baby vegetables with pak choi, and a mango and chilli salsa, and mackerel fillet, crab tortellini and risotto, and basil oil also bolster the menu.

A thoughtful children's menu and well-appointed wine list complete the picture.
