The Guardian Loves the Peak District – Perfect For Derbyshire Hen and Stag Weekends

Article published: March 21st, 2013

Just like us, the Guardian can’t get enough of Derbyshire’s Peak District. It’s brimming with scenic countryside, breath-taking towns and villages and makes for the perfect location for any Derbyshire stag weekend or hen weekend. The Guardian recently spoke of the charms of a number of areas on the edges of the Peak District and included: Lud’s church, a “crevisse of an old cragge” almost 18m deep in places, extending for some 100m. Coated with ferns, liverworts and dripping knots and grass, according to the journalist, ‘has to be one of the most extraordinary places in England”.

As with most of the other impressive attractions mentioned by the Guardian, Hard Days Knight has a varied and comprehensive array of hen accommodation in the peak district and stag accommodation across Derbyshire, with a property close by to quite literally any Peak District Attraction.

Any Derbyshire stag weekend or Derbyshire hen weekend would not be complete without exploring the fantastic selection of outdoor activities, with activity centre’s all across the Peak District, offering anything from climbing and caving, right through to cookery and pamper weekends. The choice is truly awesome. For more information, click here!

All the fun with no drama

We had such a good stag do with Hard Days Knight in the Peak District, and I honestly can’t recommend them enough! From the start, they organised everything down to a tee, making it a weekend none of us will forget. The accommodation was good, comfortably fitting our group and perfectly located for everything on the itinerary. One of the absolute highlights was the Hunted activity - a mix of orienteering with a twist where you’re actually being chased! It was such a laugh and brought out everyone's competitive side, with a good bit of adrenaline thrown in. A massive thank you to Greg in particular, whose communication was faultless. He kept us updated every step of the way, answered all our questions, and went out of his way to make sure everything went smoothly. His local knowledge and enthusiasm really added to the experience and made us feel like we were in safe hands. If you're planning a stag do and want a unique, well-organised experience in the Peaks, Hard Days Knight is the way to go. Cheers to Greg and the team for a brilliant weekend - we’re still talking about it!

My brother's stag do was nothing short of amazing. We've had a myriad of activities to choose from in a wonderful location. Sadly, the Best Man, who paid the deposit for the country house we stayed in, had some disputes with the property owner, who withheld the deposit claiming damages (which were previously there). Once Hard Days Knight was informed, Greg immediately stepped in to refund our deposit out of pocket, so that he can help handle and mediate. This immediately shows us that Greg prioritises keeping our Stag Do a happy memory, and it's very much appreciated.

We had an excellent time on our brother’s stag that we organised with Greg. Cannot fault the experience, Greg was extremely helpful and efficient with putting together a great weekend in a fairly short period of time. The accommodation suggested worked out perfectly, especially with the attached pool, hot tub and games room which were an added bonus. The activities lived up to our expectations and again were well organised and timings made the whole weekend work without any issues. Everyone had a lot of fun and I would highly recommend going with HDK for any stag/ hen-do.
