The Square & Compass sits in a former barn and farm cottages alongside a 1735 inn in Darley Dale, near Matlock, so there's a real sense of history to the place. The rooms are simple and unfussy, and breakfast is included, which takes one thing off your plate with little ones in tow. There's outdoor seating too, handy for letting the kids stretch their legs.
