Does anyone have recommendations on somewhere nice to stay for two nights in the Peak District in April?

Will be with DH and DS9; we're not particularly sporty but like walks and photography.

We've been to Chatsworth House, Bakewell and Buxton so would want to try something different. Thanks!

It's hard to find nice self-catering which don't require a 3-night minimum stay, but you can stay for just two nights at Wheeldon Trees. There are nine properties, at least one of which sleeps 3.
Delicious breakfast boxes are available which include bread, butter, yogurt, jams and granola all made on site, as well as local honey, cheese and apple juice – they even roast their own coffee ! The on-site shop includes home-made meals in the freezer, yummy ice-creams and other treats, as well as essentials to keep you stocked up during your stay.
Children will enjoy the freedom the farm gives to roam around in a safe environment and enjoy the great outdoors – they’ll love the adventure playground complete with it’s very own gypsy caravan. Every morning, Deborah takes them (grown-ups are also allowed !) to feed the chickens, ducks, bunnies, lambs and alpacas. There are numerous walks and cycle rides to enjoy direct from your doorstep.
There's table tennis and table football and it's also well equipped with books, games and puzzles.
It's near to Buxton, where there's a Go Ape, several caverns and caves to explore (we liked the underground boat ride at Speedwell Cavern) and of course plenty of nice walks. The owners have created a set of self-guided walks available on laminated sheets ranging in length from 30minutes to 2 hours.

Thank you all for the recommendations!

Hathersage B&B and Wheeldon Trees look amazing and sound like what we're looking for, but they're booked or only have accomm available for 2.

I probably should've been looking much earlier. Still, very good places to keep in mind for next time.

cloudybay, I'll look around those places. We've been out walking in Edale once, and it was gorgeous!
