The Old Weighbridge is an amazing little place providing quirky, railway-themed accommodation but so much more as well. It's just a short walk into Bakewell, Derbyshire's most famous market town. It's got off street parking which is pretty rare. It's got secure storage for bikes and, to top it all, it's just a stone's throw from the Monsal Trail.
Wander down into Bakewell with its excellent range of shops, restaurants, pubs and cafés. There are many of Derbyshire's famous holiday attractions, like Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall, close to Bakewell, but you can also easily reach other parts of the Peak. Marvel at the well-dressings in villages like Tideswell, cycle over Monsal viaduct and drink in the view or wonder if you can really believe your eyes as you look out from Curbar Edge over wave after wave of Peak District hills.
This quirky studio-style property, all on one level, is much more spacious than it might seem at first glance.
