A stately home for Easter?

Guests can enjoy free entry to Derbyshire's Haddon Hall• when they stay at Rock Cottage, a three-bedroom traditional stone cottage - sleeping six - set in the village of Alport in the heart of the Peak District.

The recently refurbished and beautifully furnished former gamekeeper's cottage, from holidaylets.net, boasts a wood burner in the sitting room (logs supplied) and a private walled garden with kennel - two dogs allowed.

The pretty Lathkill River flows through Alport - on the Haddon Hall estate - and the village is the starting point for one of the most beautiful walks in the Peak District, through Lathkill Dale to the village of Monyash.

Meanwhile, at Bakewell - home of the pudding - just four miles away there's also free membership of the golf club for Rock Cottage's guests and complimentary green fees on offer.

Easter week - from Good Friday, 10 April - costs £780 or £130 per person based on a full house. Alternatively, a long Spring weekend - three nights from 24 April - is £437.
