Sleeping four, this delightful Bakewell cottage offers a warm and inviting base for a romantic retreat or a peaceful break with the family. Tucked in one of the prettiest corners of the Peak District, it sits just moments from the gentle flow of the River Wye and the tempting aroma of the town’s famous pudding shop. Step outside and you are within 500 metres of cosy cafés, welcoming pubs, and charming independent boutiques, making it easy to enjoy relaxed days close to home. Wander along the riverside for views of Bakewell’s old stone bridge, its church, and the soft hills beyond, or set off on scenic walks to Ashford-in-the-Water, 1.5 miles away, and Monsal Head, 2.5 miles away. For a touch of grandeur, Chatsworth House lies only 3 miles away, with Haddon Hall at 2 miles. With beauty in every direction, this cottage promises a gentle, memorable escape.
Step through the front porch and into a beautifully curated open-plan living space, where every element feels chosen with care. Pretty walls, warm wood, and gentle lighting create an inviting atmosphere from the moment you arrive. The lounge area is arranged around the cosy wood burner, its ambient glow reflected in the ornate mirror above the hearth. Deep, comfortable sofas and thoughtful touches make this a restful place to unwind, read, chat, or simply enjoy the peaceful setting. Beside the spiral staircase, the dining nook brings a charming, intimate feel. A rustic chandelier casts a warm light over the wooden table, while the decorative corner cabinet, filled with glassware and character pieces, adds a sense of homeliness. It is an easy space for gathering over meals or planning the day ahead. At the rear of the cottage, the kitchen continues the warm palette with charming cabinetry, patterned tiles, and a welcoming glow from the window. It feels cheerful and lived-in; a place shaped with love where cooking becomes part of the holiday experience. Upstairs, the bedrooms offer comfort and tranquillity. The king-size room features crisp linens, soft lighting, and a private en-suite shower room. The twin room is equally inviting, finished in calm tones and gentle textures. A second bathroom with a shower over the bath, including a dual-headed shower, serves this floor.
Outside, a small enclosed courtyard with furniture offers a quiet spot for morning coffee or a breath of fresh air after days spent exploring Bakewell and the wider Peak District.
