Fresh and light with a large sash window, feature fireplace and wall-mounted Smart TV, the lounge is a serene space for lazy afternoons. Meanwhile, with its deep and moody hues and warming wood burner, Smart TV, the snug is a cosy room in which to curl up in the evenings.

It was a lovely beautifully clean and well maintained holiday house which easily fitted our party of 7. A lot of thought had gone into the furnishings and fittings, which all worked very well. It is very conveniently situated on the edge of Bakewell and it took about 10minutes to walk into town on the pavement.

A beautiful cottage in a stunning location. We were blown away by the decor of this property and the attention to detail. Each of the rooms was very well presented, well looked after and pristine. We felt very comfortable and at ease in this spacious cottage, but also took advantage of how close we were to the centre of Bakewell and the nearby landRead moremarks. Lots of lovely walks were had as well as trips to see the local sights. We have loved every minute of our holiday! Hide

This cottage was an absolutely amazing find. Beautifully and thoughtfully decorated throughout ( it looked freshly done aswell) and the owners had clearly gone to such trouble to make the stay as comfortable, easy and welcoming as possible- little touches like luxury fluffy blankets in the lounges and bedrooms, handwash in bathrooms, bottle of wineRead more on arrival and milk in the fridge. It was also brilliantly equipped with everything you can think of and was super warm too. Great location nr town. Hide

The cottage was absolutely lovely, we loved the cozy lounge with the log burner and found the bed really comfortable. The location is also great for walking down the hill into Bakewell.
