Angela says…
Last summer, our sales team had the incredible opportunity to explore the stunning Peak District. We stayed at the Mercure Sheffield Kenwood Hall Hotel & Spa, where the staff made us feel right at home with their warm hospitality. The hotel’s proximity to amazing attractions like Chatsworth House and Buxton Crescent made it the perfect base for our visit. The convenience of being so close to these historic landmarks truly added to the experience as well as driving through the stunning scenery of the Peak District National Park.
