would like to spend a w/e in the Peak District - anybody out there who can recommend a nice B&B? x                                                                                                                                                                              

Not off hand but you could look at  beds4bikers                                                                                                                                                                               

thanks anneka, will have a look
                                                                                                                                                                             

Do you want to stay in the middle of the Peak District or are you happy with the edge of the Peak District.  Are you looking for a single or a double room?

If you are looking for a single room/s and are open minded about where you stay and really want some peace and quiet after a days riding then I can recommend http://www.taracentre.org.uk/ I have used it on a few occasions and you are just south of the Peak District, about 30-45 mins from Matlock Bath.

Otherwise, have you considered the YHA, they now do single and double rooms.

you could try the YHA their is 1 castleton 1 in edale and probabaly more not sure how they are with bikers nowerdays though                                                                                                                                                                             

ehm, double room required en-suite as well
                                                                                                                                                                             

Don't use the Tara Centre then as its a Buddist retreat lol
                                                                                                                                                                             

What sort of surroundings do you want Santa? Busy town, peaceful village or bit of life but not over the top!
