The cottage sits in a prime location in the picturesque town of Bakewell. The town in renowned in the area, as a quintessential market town and the home of its namesake tart. Explore the pretty lanes around the market and discover independent shops, great for picking up local gifts or sampling local fare. The best thing about this location is its proximity to nature. Follow the River Wye out of town and you’ll be in the midst of the peaks. Take your team to the inspiring walks around Chatsworth Park and Hathersage Moor, a scenic 5 miles away, before visiting the house itself. Chatsworth is a popular trip for locals and visitors alike - a stately home with wonderful displays of antiques and interiors. A visit to the infamous village of Eyam could be the next stop on your tour. This charming place was one of the worst hit by the bubonic plague outbreak of 1665 and still has fascinating reminders of that horrible time. You might need a walk across the hills afterwards to blow those cobwebs away and turn your minds to dinner.

Nice location 5 mins walk to Bakewell, however the hill is steep. Lounge is too small for 10 people, and really with just the 2 bathrooms it would be tricky overall if you had 10 people. Luckily we only had 6 and that felt OK. This lessens the value for money - however the finish, cleanliness and location were all positives for us.
