Tucked in the heart of the Derbyshire Dales, this uber-cool Bakewell apartment is the perfect base for couples or solo travellers seeking a mix of culture, history, and stunning countryside. Start your day with a stroll across the iconic Bakewell Bridge, an ancient stone arch spanning the River Wye, before wandering the town’s charming streets. No trip to Bakewell would be complete without tasting the town’s famous Bakewell Pudding. Further afield, you can explore the rolling hills of the Dales or visit the grand Tudor Hall and Elizabethan gardens of Haddon Hall (2 miles). Alternatively, try Chatsworth (6 miles), one of England’s most celebrated stately homes, with grand interiors, a working farmyard, landscaped parkland and boutique shops and cafes. For those who love the outdoors, the Monsal Trail begins in the town, offering 8.5 miles of traffic-free paths for walkers, cyclists, runners, wheelchair users, and horse riders.
Enter through the main door into a spacious private entrance area – ideal for safely storing bikes, muddy boots, or coats after a day exploring the Peak District. Take the staircase to the first floor, where a bright, open-plan living area awaits. Designed with style and comfort in mind, it features a well-equipped kitchen with a breakfast bar, a contemporary dining table, and a cosy lounge area for relaxing after a day of adventure. Through elegant Liberty glass panel doors, you’ll find a large bedroom with a luxurious deep wool mattress, ensuring a truly restful night’s sleep. The bedroom includes another comfortable sofa and a desk. The modern bathroom boasts a walk-in shower and is stocked with Faith in Nature products for a touch of indulgence.
Outside, the private parking space is a rare and convenient bonus in the heart of town. While the apartment doesn’t have a garden, scenic footpaths, riverside walks and green fields are just a few hundred metres away, ready for a morning stroll or an afternoon wander.
