Bakewell is one of the most popular towns in the Peak District, offering a range of shops, galleries, cafes, pubs, and restaurants. The local area is well served for cyclists, as Bakewell lies at the start of the Monsal Trail (4 miles), one of three car-free walking and cycling trails in this part of the Peak District. For fascinating history, visit attractions such as Chatsworth House and Gardens (5 miles) and Haddon Hall (3 miles) to give you a glimpse into the past. Ashford-in-the-Water, The Monsal Trail, Haddon Hall and Chatsworth are all 4 miles of the property.

Step into the open-plan lounge/diner and you are sure to be wowed by the stunning interior design. Relax on the sofa or curl up in the armchair with a good book after a day hiking the hills. There is a Smart TV and a beautiful wood burner at the heart of the room. Come together around the nearby dining table and enjoy a celebration meal if the delights of Bakewell can’t tempt you to eat out. There is a beautiful sunroom which gets lovely and warm in the summer sun providing a pleasant space to sit and catch up with good company over a glass of something chilled. The kitchen offers everything you need to rustle up a meal during your stay including an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. Head up the steep staircase to find two bedrooms, a king-size bedroom and a twin bedroom, each designed with beautiful furnishings for a restful place to relax. The spacious bathroom offers a freestanding bath, separate shower and WC - don’t forget to bring your bubble bath as you are sure to want to enjoy a long soak.

Had a wonderful Christmas in this cottage. It was all we had hoped it would be - and more. First of all the location was perfect, almost on the High Street but tucked away in a quiet spot.

And then the bath was heavenly .... A great stay, as near perfection as you could hope for. Hide

A very conveniently located cottage and lovely to have private parking. Easy to drop off baggage before parking. Generally well equipped . Note no bedside tables in second bedroom and no wardrobes, just a small hanging rack in main bedroom. Good base to explore the area.

100% recommend this beautiful cottage. It is in an ideal location. A fabulous park opposite, which was a massive plus for our dog! Spotless cottage and everything you need is there! The beds were comfortable. The Welcome Tray was lovely. It was easy to unload the car outside the cottage, before parking in a reserved space very close by. Shops, cafeRead mores and pubs all very close. Would recommend The Red Lion and The Wheatsheaf for meals. Hide

We regularly visit the Peak District, and Bakewell is an excellent location as a base to explore. The cottage is an excellent location and we didn't need our car for the first part of our stay. Shops were an easy walk away, and car parking was close-by (there is scope to drop off luggage before driving to the allocated parking space).

We absolutely loved it. Great location smack in the middle of it all. The garden was smaller than expected but that was fine for a couple of nights. The cottage is beautiful and the decor is a real wow factor. 5 stars from us.

Absolutely lovely cottage in a fantastic location for walking into Bakewell. Bedrooms are a little on small side but giant bathroom more than makes up for this. The sun trap was a lovely place to sit and listen to the rain in Autumn. Our springer spaniel loved lying in there on the bed that was provided.
